Junior Year Program Attracts Three 



PR RELEASE 

Three Millsaps College stu- 
dents will study in France 
during the coming school 
year under the Junior Year 
Abroad Program of the Insti- 
tute for American Universi- 
ties. 

Scheduled to sail for Le 
Havre, France, on September 
3 were Beverly Jo Hum- 
phries, Cleveland; Julia Grif- 
fith Ward, Jackson; and Ann 
Brittain Merritt, Clarks- 
dale. 

Ninety students from col- 
leges and universities 
throughout the nation sailed 
aboard the SS Nieuw Amster- 
dam on the 3rd. They were 
accompanied by Billy M. Buf- 
kin, associate professor of 
romance languages at Mill- 
saps, and Mr. and Mrs. P. M. 
Lowry, of Memphis. Bufkin 
will return to Jackson on 
September 18 to begin the fall 
semester at Millsaps. Lowry 
will teach at the Institute 
next year. 

The students will be en- 
rolled at the University of Aix 
Marseille, at Aix - en - Pro- 
vence. Academic credit for 
courses completed there 
will be transferred back to 



their home schools. Par- 
ticipants will live with French 
families while pursuing their 
studies at the university. 

The itinerary to Aix pro- 
vides some opportunity for 
sightseeing. The students ar- 
rived in France on Septem- 
ber 10 and will go to Aix on 
the 14th and 15th. Intervening 
time will be spent in planned 
and informal tours. 

The cost of the Junior Year 
Abroad program, including 
transatlantic travel, is about 
equal to that of an average 
American private college or 
university. 

Aix-en-Provence is located 
in southern France, 17 miles 
north of Marseille, near the 
Rhone Valley, and is known 
for its 18th Century monu- 
ments. Opportunity for exten- 
sive travel will be provided 
during the school year. 

Returning to Millsaps this 
fall after a year at the 
French university are Ann 
Elizabeth Middleton, Indian - 
ola; Nancy Underwood, For- 
est; Wanda Wecms, Forest; 
Janice Williams, Columbia; 
William Croswell, Jackson; 
and Thurman Jo Oliver, Gre- 



Staff Meeting 
Invites Everyone

An organizational meet- 
ing for all persons inter- 
ested in working on this 
year's Purple and White 
has been scheduled for 
Monday, September 20 and

Whether or not you can 
write, regardless of your 
experience, if you'd like an 
hour extracurricular credit 
and a lot of fun, we need 
you — Monday, September 
20. at 4 p. m. 



Freshman Orientation 
Gets Underway Today 



Freshmen and transfers get 
a quick, but detailed look at 
Millsaps' busy Jife beginning 
today when an extensive ori- 
entation program moves into 
full swing under the leader- 
ship of Sherry Monk and 
Jerry Duck, co-chairmen. 

An opening assembly greets 
new freshmen students at 
1:30 p. m. today with Stu- 
dent Executive Board presi- 
dent Larry Adams presiding. 
The orientation program as a 
whole will be discussed, then 
students will be divided into 
groups with counselors, a se- 
lected group of upperclass 
Millsaps students. 

Separate meetings of new 
men and women students will 
follow. The men will learn 
about the school athletic pro- 
gram from athletic director 
James Montgomery, and 
about rush and non-rush ac- 
tivities from student Roger 
Lowery. The women will be 
told about the Women's Stu- 
dent Government Association. 

Also on tap for this after- 
noon are meetings with SEB 
officers who will explain the 
functions of that organization 
and the Student Senate, and 
new students will be intro- 
duced in groups to a desig- 
nated faculty advisor to aid 
in scheduling, answering 
questions, and helping the 
students when needed. 

A talent show tonight at 
8:00 will close the first 
day's activities. An informal 
dress affair, the show is un- 
der the direction of Margaret 
Brown. 

Sunday is devoted to re- 
ligious orientation programs, 
beginning with a church 
service in the Christian Cen- 
ter Auditorium at 11 a. m. 
An introduction to campus re- 
ligious life as well as a night 
vesper service are also 
planned. 

Female students will be 
honored with a punch party 
by Sigma Lambda, girls' 
leadership honorary, Sunday 
night. 

A coke party at the home 
of President Benjamin B. 
Graves and family, a faculty 
lecture to introduce students 
to college teaching proce- 
dures, a series of tests, ad- 
visory sessions with individ- 
ual students and their faculty 
advisors, and campus tours 
are among highlights of a 
busy Monday schedule, to be 
climaxed that night with the 
annual faculty reception 
where students are intro- 
duced to the administration 
and faculty. 

Tuesday's schedule will fea- 
ture discussion sessions when 
each student is allowed to 
discuss with other new stu- 
dents and two upperclassmen 



the significance of previous- 
ly read articles in Intercol 
lejrian magazine. Rush and 
non-rush activities follow. 

The orientation program 
concludes Wednesday with 
further rush and non-rush 
events, a final assembly fea- 
turing President Graves, 
Dean Frank Laney, Registrar 
and Director of Admissions 
Paul Hardin, Business Man- 
ager J. W. Wood, Public Re- 
lations Director and Director 
of Alumni Affairs James 
Livesay, and Director of De- 
velopment Barry Brindley, 
and a complete evaluation of 
the overall program by the 
student counselors and their 
freshmen groups. 

Transfer orientation is un- 
der the direction of George 
Pickett and will include many 
of the same features as those 
designed for freshmen. The 
transfer program starts Mon- 
day and will be briefer since 
these students have already 
been introduced to some form 
of college life. 

This year's program 
climaxes months of work by 
co-chairmen Duck and Monk 
and their helpers. Says Sherry 
of the program: "Through the 
orientation program, Jerry 
and I hope to acquaint fresh- 
men and transfers with all 
facets of college life at Mill- 
saps: its social, academic, 
and religious programs, and, 
most of all, its personalities." 

Names of orientation as- 
sistants can be found else- 
where in this paper.

What Millsaps Means 



IDEAS 



AND 

OPINIONS 




What will Millsaps mean to you? 
Sound like a startling question? Well, 
what will you students, who as you 
read this have possible arrived at Mill- 
saps for the first time, come to think of 
her classrooms, her spacious grounds 
and walks, her students and faculty, 
her administration? 

Throughout this issue we hope we 
have conveyed the idea that Millsaps 
welcomes you, wants you, is proud to 
have you with us for the first time. But 
how about you? Are you proud to be 
at Millsaps? Or is it just another stop- 
ping point for a few years, a place you 
hope will keep you out of the Army? 
Is it just a conglomeration of build- 
ings and grounds and people? Or is it 
more? 

We who have been at Millsaps a lit- 
tle while think of it in a greater light. 
It is a second home, an opportunity to 
find a key to a successful future, a 
chance to meet new and lasting friends. 

You can show what you think of Mill- 
saps. How? By smiling a greeting to 
a fellow student or professor whether 
you know them or not, by cheering a 
football team whether in victory or de- 
feat, by standing up for Millsaps when 
you speak of it, by working hard and 



doing your best academically, spirit- 
ually, and morally to uphold the good 
name of the college. 

Millsaps has so much to offer stu- 
dents who are willing to take advantage 
of their opportunities. But take it from 
experience, you've got to work at it. 
You've got to work hard, and you've 
got to start now— don't get behind be- 
cause, believe us, you won't catch up. 
Don't fail to study the first week just 
because you don't have any tests. 

You thought enough of Millsaps to 
come here. Now, will you think enough 
of Millsaps to stay? Will you work hard 
enough to overcome problems which 
threaten to stymie you? 

Of course, what Millsaps means to 
you will depend to a great extent upon 
how you are received by campus 
veterans. Those of us who have been 
here some time must remember to 
offer a helping hand when asked, to 
assist the newcomers when assistance 
is needed, but most of all to be friend- 
ly, to care about the image we are 
helping to create. 

Millsaps can be a home, a family. 
Make it so. Take your actions at Mill- 
saps seriously and you'll come to know 
what a good school really is. 



Well, here we are again! 
Another summer has come 
and gone — gone a little 
earlier for this Purple and 
White editor than most stu- 
dents, unfortunately. 

We would like to take this 
opportunity to welcome all 
new students back to Mill- 
saps. This is your orienta- 
tion edition of the Purple 
and White — we hope you 
will find it at least some- 
what interesting and in- 
formative. Another big wel- 
come to all returnees, back 
to battle the books once 
again. 

We promised in our last 
spring edition that readers 
might find a few surprises 
awaiting them in the fall, 
and sure enough there are 
a great many. 

Most notable, perhaps, is 
the size. We have switched 
from a four-page e \ g h t- 
column newspaper to a 
smaller, or tabloid size. 
Tentative plans call for a 



Retrospect . . 



O'Toole Sparkles In Two Productions 



By BARRY McGEHEE 
Amusements Editor 

After scraping the rust off 
of the old faithful typewriter, 
we start a new year with the 
Purple and White. We are 
pleased at the idea of an ori- 
entation issue of the paper, 
but it leaves us at quite a dis- 
advantage, since we are not 
on campus, and have no way 
of writing about something 
that every one has had an 
opportunity to see. What we 
intend to do is to plunge 
blindly into this year, as we 
plunge blindly into every 
week, and hope that every- 
thing comes off all right. 

This summer, we have not 
had the opportunity of seeing 
any plays, a situation which 
we deeply regret. We have, 
however, seen two excellent 
motion pictures. Strangely 
enough, Lord Jim and What's 
New Pussycat? have a com- 
mon virtue that drew me to 
both performances on several 
occasions in three places, Pe- 
ter OToole. 

As far as we are concerned, 
Peter OToole is the top male 
box office property in the 
United States, having scored 
hits in Lawrence of Arabia 
and Becket. His two recent 
releases support his already 
well established reputation as 
an actor and give substance 
to his hinted inclination to- 
ward comedy that showed 
through in scenes of Becket 

We had read the Joseph 
Conrad classic, Lord Jim, in 
high school and thought we 
were prepared for the motion 
picture. We were, however, 
pleasantly surprised in that 
the O Toole interpretation was 
far above what the original 
character would have re- 
quired. 



Not that there were any 
basic changes in Conrad's 
work — the speech remained 
intact in the more recognisa- 
ble (and, I might add, the 
better) scenes — but the char- 
acter of Lord Jim was given 
something by OToole's por- 
trayal that Conrad's charac- 
terization could not have giv- 
en—the actual "on-stage an- 
guish of a hero-coward ac- 
cepting both praise and 
damnation and finding neither 
masochistic satisfaction in 
one nor egotistic fullfillment 
in the other. 

We were dissatisfied with 
the performances of two well- 
established actors, Eli Wallak 
and James Mason. Wallak, 
the "cruel general" type was 
far from convincing us that he 
was. And if he had, he could 
not have convinced us that 
the actions toward Lord Jim 
were justified on his part. 
True, the role was a tough 
one, but we would have 
thought that an actor of Mr. 
Wallak's reputation could 
have found a way out. 

We were more distressed at 
the casting of James Mason 
as a gentlemanly pirate than 
his portrayal of the part. A 
gentleman, Mr. Mason is, but 
a cut-throat never. 

The second of Mr. OToole's 
summer successes was 
What's New, Pussycat? Those 
who have not seen the picture 
and intend to do so should not 
go with the idea of seeing any- 
thing with a plot. In fact, the 
entire motion picture may be 
considered one huge series of 
"cameos", held in coherence 
by the presence of Peter 
OToole. 

We thought Peter Sellers a 
perfect neorotic in the part 
of the "Buster Brown" psy- 



chiatrist, and Woody Allen ex- 
cellently cast as the unsuc- 
cessful Don Juan, though his 
resemblance both physically 
and characteristically to a fel- 
low newspaper critic was dis- 
arming. (We use the term 
"fellow" loosely, as we do the 
term "news-" paper) 

What made the show how- 
ever, was the presence of 
Romy Schneider, Capucine, 
Paula Prentess, and Ursula 
Andress. As an ardent reader 
of the most popular of that 
popular magazine among the 
charges of the dean of men, 
I have long been familiar with 
most of the above mentioned, 
but it is not until you see 
them "in motion" (even if 
their states of undress are less 
drastic) that you appreciate 
their true feminine "assets." 

In his role as comedian, Pe- 
ter OToole is, of course, on 
stage with masters of the art, 
and he holds up quite well in 
comparison. Even sharing the 
screen with such a con- 
glomeration of feminine 
charm detracts but slightly 



from Mr. OToole's person- 
al magnetism. In short, we 
feel we are justified in rec- 
ommending all coming 
O'Toole releases without hav- 
ing seen or even heard of any 
of them — anything this good 
for this long can't go far 
wrong. 

Finally, we welcome all of 
our new readers to Millsaps, 
and cordially invite them to 
take an active part in the cul- 
tural life of the campus, 
putting in a special "plug" 
for the Millsaps Players, who 
will soon begin casting on 
their faD production. 

We encourage active par- 
ticipation in as many of these 
activities as you freshmen 
feel qualified to participate, 
and can testify from experi- 
ence that the rewards will 
be well worth the time spent. 

Until we can see you per- 
sonally, let this serve as a 
welcome to Millsaps, and as 
a sincere wish for your en- 
joyment of what promises to 
be an outstanding year, both 
for your class and for your 
school.

regular eight page tabloid 
although this one issue is 
larger. 

We feel that by changing 
sizes we will publish a 
more easily readible paper 
—most students commented 
favorably on the con- 
venience of the size when 
we experimented once last 
spring. Also, we can en- 
large our news coverage 
with the larger paper. 

With the change in size 
comes a change in printer. 
We were gratified to learn 
that most students ap- 
proved of our handling of 
the P & W in the fall, and 
a good percentage of the 
complaints we had centered 
mainly around the printing 
end. 

We are now printing with 
Thornton Publishers, one 
of Jackson's outstanding 
firms, who also publish 
such newspapers as the 
Mississippi Collegian, the 
Belhaven Clan Call, the 
Methodist Advocate, Bap- 
tist Record, and Episcopal 
Church News among 
others. 

We are looking forward 
to a long and pleasant rela- 
tionship with Thornton 
Publishers. 

Another change regards 
the dates of publication. 
Hertofore we have pub- 
lished on Tuesday's, except 
for special editions, but this 
fall the Purple and White 
will be printed for Thurs- 
day release. 

There may be other 
changes, too, but we'll have 
to wait until our staff is as- 
sembled, or as athletic 
coaches term it, until we 
get our personnel lined up. 

Luckily, most of our staff 
of associates returns. In 
the spring, we were blessed 
with a fine group of co- 
workers, and we're delight- 
ed to have nearly all of our 
"top dogs" back. 

Please do not hesitate to 
comment on our publica- 
tions, favorably or unfavor- 
ably. We can only profit 
from our mistakes. Letters 
to the editor are always 
solicited —our address is 
P. O. Box 15424, Millsaps 
College. 



We would like to offer a 
special thanks to Jeanne 
Burnet for helping us out 
with the trying task of an 
orientation edition, and are 
sincerely grateful to 
columnists Emily Compton, 
Barry McGehee, and 
Ronald Goodbread for com- 
ing through with early 
columns. 

To put out an orienta- 
tion edition by oneself is 
no easy matter — we hope in 
some way that our efforts 
have been worthwhile. 

Again, welcome to Mill- 
saps to all — now let's get 
down to the rugged routine 
of study mixed with fellow- 
ship and recreation, and 
here's hoping everyone has 
a real great year.

Freshman s Handy-Dandy Guide To Millsaps College Politics 



(EDITOR S NOTE: The 
views expressed in the politi- 
cal column of the Purple and 
White, whether by Mr. Good- 
bread or by a guest columnist, 
are those of the columnist 
himself and no not necessarily 
reflect the opinions of the 
editor and staff of the 
P & W.) 

By RONALD GOODBREAD 
Political Editor 

When I was a freshman, 
having lived near Millsaps 
College most of my life, I 
quit attending Orientation on 
the second day, inspite of the 
fact that Carolyne Mozingo 
was my counselor. As a re- 
sult my college career has 
been a miserable failure — look 
at me: a political hack for 
the P & W! To save the class 
of '69 from a similar fate, we 
in SYMPOSIUM would like 
to offer a little advice to 
those who are entering our 
Ground Zero for the first 
time. This is merely factual 
advice and, as the frat rats 
will be glad to know, is not 
intended to sway the new 
student in any way (much). 

The new student will doubt- 
less be most interested in the 
Administration first. Let us 
consider them in the order he 
will most likely become asso- 
ciated with them. 

"The first thing •! learned 
when I came to Millsaps," I 
heard one of my classmates 
say, "is to become friends 
with Dean Christmas." A very 
good principle by which to 
live ,1 might add. While he 
is the friend of almost every- 
one on campus you had better 
make it your business to see 
to it that it stays that way. 
It will not be very hard. We 
are very proud of him. 

The same is true of Dean 
Pate. She is selflessly devoted 
to her job at Millsaps College 
and like Dean Christmas is 
unswervingly dedicated to the 
well-being of her students. 

Prof Hardin is a working 
English professor. I say he 
works because he is our very 
efficient and very likeable 
Registrar. The English class 
he teaches because he enjoys 
it. You are fortunate if you 
are in it. 

What can one say of Dean 
Laney? That he is a master 
at his job of Academic Dean? 
That he is a first-rate history 
professor? That he personifies 
the proverbial "academi- 
cian?" Yes, one could say all 
of these things with unbiased 
truthfulness. But there is 
something more to Dr. Laney 
—something you can't quite 
put your finger on. He is not 
the outgoing friend of the 
student that Dean Christmas 
is. That is not his job. He is 
there to content with the 
"higher ups." But never let 
this discourage you from 
seeking out his advice and 
council; while he is a very 
busy man with the "matters 
of state", he will always find 
time to help those who seek 
it. 

The year I played baseball 



at Millsaps I remember see- 
ing scrawled on a blackboard 
in the dressing room the 
credo, "When the going gets 
tough, the tough gets going." 
It is this principle that re- 
minds me of our new presi- 
dent, Dr. Graves. We lost a 
good man in Dr. Ellis Finger 
but we gained an excellent, 
nay, a superior man, in Dr. 
Graves. When he came to the 
presidency, the going got 
tough; since then he (and 
Millsaps) have got going. 

Already dormitories have 
been air conditioned, build- 
ings are in the final stages of 
planning, and we have got rid 
of Mrs. Stott. Things have 
definitely changed for the bet- 
ter and they will get still bet- 
ter before they get worse. 
Whether you ever get the 
chance to do so personally, or 
not, every student at Millsaps 
College should offer him a 
"Thank you, Mr. President." 

So much for Olympus. Now 
we turn to bringing the new 
student in contact with those 
in the Forum: the Student 
Government. Government at 
Millsaps College took a tre- 
mendous step forward during 
the 1964-65 year under the 
Administration of president 
Gary Fox and vice-president 
Gerald Jacks. 

I wish you could have been 
here to see it (and I have no 
sympathy for those who were 
here and did not choose to 
see it). But this year— this 
year — we have the promise of 
even greater things. In your 
president, Larry Adams, you 
have a mind unmatched in 
its development, and a char- 
acter that is beyond reproach. 
His ability and potentials are 
so tremendous that I will not 
attempt to predict or forecast 
what will happen under the 
Adams Administration, for 
fear of having it show me up. 

One of the reasons I have 
had the utmost confidence in 
the success of the Student 
Government under president 
Adams is because of the tre- 
mendous asset he has in his 
vice-president, Jerry Duck. 
He ran a campaign for vice- 
president tht sparkled, of the 
success he could make of the 
job he was seeking and de- 
feated some of the best in the 
business. 

Now he has the opportunity 
to organize elections proce- 
dures so that the vast 
majority of the students can 
and will vote. As soon as he 
took office, more people voted 
in the first election following 
his inauguration than in any 
that year. He is an able man, 
destined for greater things in 
Millsaps politics. 

Back with us for a second 
term in the Secretary's Of- 
fice is Miss Jeanne Burnet, 
president of Phi Mu, and the 
best darned secretary in the 
business. It is unfortunate 
that this perfectly innocent 
young lady should be in the 
midst of such crusty old poli- 
ticians, but she brings with 
her one of her greatest as- 
sets: Bobby Luckett. 



"Scrooge" McDement is 
handling our money this 
year. You can bet that Miss 
Polly Dement will hold a pret- 
ty tight rein on our purse 
strings this year, because the 
last our sources were able to 
find out, the good oT Student 
Association is starting out with 
zero money. She has her job 
cut out for her but those of 
you who will get to know her 
will be confident that we will 
come out of next year in ev- 
ery bit as good 'financial 
shape as we are in now. 

Of course the real concern 
for the new student (although 
I'll never understand why) 
are the fraternities and so- 
rorities. So let us go from the 
sublime to the rediculous and 
let you know the "general" 
opinion of them all politics 
wise. Ladies first. 

First off are the KD's. 
There are a bunch of "cool 
looking heads" in the KD's 
and it would behove the 
shopping male to try to divide 
the KD material from the rest 
and make his plans accord- 
ingly. The head GDI doesn't 
have much gripe about tht 
KD's — they have some 
losers, but even the Yankees 
are losing this year. 

Next are the Chi O's. I am 
convinced some of the most 
beautiful girls in Mississippi 
are in the Millsaps Chapter 
of Chi Omega. They are, by 
and large, sweet, gentle, for- 
giving young ladies, with 
hearts of gold— but "all that 
glitters' . . ." etc. 

The .Zetas are definitely 
coming up in the world. Like 
the Republican Party, they 
have been rebuilding and they 
have a fine new house that is, 
from what I hear, the finest 
on campus. The Zetas are 
fast becoming a force to be 
reckoned with. Everyone, 
however, could stand a little 
housecleaning. 

Oh, ho, that leaves us with 
them. This writer does not 
feel qualified to evaluate the 
Phi Mu's. He has never ex- 
hibited anything but rotten 
judgment in his association 
with them, so I leave it to 
any interested party to in- 
vestigate at his or her own 
risk. I might suggest, how- 
ever, that their only apparent 
political asset is their Presi- 
dent. 

Now let's get down to busi- 
ness. This is, after all, a po- 
litical column. Women and 
hence sororities have very 
little influence or place in 
politics here and that is as it 
should be. Women are inferior 
animals in all but the most 
viscious of species, i. e., 
spiders, scorpions, praying 
mantisis, etc. The real polit- 
ical force is harbored in the 
fraternities at Millsaps Col- 
lege. The earlier you learn 
that the better — some of us 
took too long to learn it. 

THE faction to be reckoned 
with, is, of course, Kappa 
Alpha. Pledging God, Moth- 
er, Sectionalism, Women and 
Booze, they hardly ever fail 
in rush. This year especially, 



under the capable hands of 
Mack Varner and his col- 
league Brandnu House, we 
expect the KA's to do even 
better. Hence you future 
politicians take note. Culti- 
vate the local Tammany Ti- 
ger if you expect to get any- 
where or instead of living 
politics, you'll be writing 
about it. 

Next in line are the Sigs. 
Forever the nemisis of KA 
they get blamed for many 
things they didn't do. This 
hurts their feelings very much 
and they are very sorry that 
someone usually beats them 
to it. I saw a picture of the 
Sig's proposed new house. It 
is very nice, but it's still a 
picture. 

You just have to be Sig ma- 
terial to be a Sig, that's all 
there is to it. You've got to 
be tough, smart, (fairly, any- 
way) and be able to play 
football or basketball. If you 
can't call yourself any of 
these, see Jim Roberts and 
ask him how he got in. 

The Lambda Chi's are just 
down there anymore. Ever 
since Jim Carroll went inac- 
tive, and Graham Lewis was 
defeated for cheerleader, 
they have gotten so hard up 
they even had to take back 
Rabbi Ben Whatley! In all 
seriousness, they are definite- 
ly worth looking into. A bunch 
of real fine fellows live at the 
LXA house and they are cer- 
tain to have a brighter future 
this year in rush with Fog- 
horn Lewis at the helm. "Sail 
on O Purple Bathtub, O Chap- 
ter strong and proud. . . ." 

The zenith of Pike success 
was when Gary Fox was 
President of the Student Ex- 
ecutive Board. You don't hear 
much from them anymore, 
and they lost some good men 
with last year's senior class. 
Almost everyone likes the 
Pikes, I guess, but still wc 
must venture to observe that, 
politically speaking, it "looks 
extremely; rocky for the Mud- 
ville nine" today. 

Then you have that great 
and glorious organization, the 
LLOA, (Lobby Lurkers of 
America), sponsored by ev- 
eryone's friend, Coach Monty 



and headed by none other 
than Mike "The Blanket" 
Staiano. Among its members 
are the President of the SEB, 
the President of the Senior 
Class, the intrepid Nat "Thun- 
der Chicken" Ellis, the sure- 
footed Ron "Herbie" Hus- 
band, the quick-witted Sena- 
tor from Burton Hall, Charlie 
"Chicken" Varner, and Jim 
"Bird Legs" Waide among 
others. It is almost impera- 
tive that all of you (especial- 
ly you girls) get to know each 
one of the members of the 
LLOA personally. 

Some words of general ad- 
vice follow now. Avoid "Gimp 
Corner" in the grill. Eat as 
little in the cafeteria as pos- 
sible. Get on the good side of 
Dr. Moore. Join the Chapel 
Choir (if you are interested) 
so you can cut chapel. Go to 
Senate Meetings. Read 
SYMPOSIUM and the P&W 
faithfully. Watch out for 
"Captain Zoom." Keep an eye 
out for Ernie, the night 
watchman, before you try any 
midnight skulking. Do not be 
late for G. Galloway's class. 

Don't borrow money from 
Rabbi Steve Whatley. Don't 
listen to Jim Roberts' jokes. 
Don't wave to Paul Newsom 
with your left hand. Get Eu- 
gene Countiss to help you 
with your freshman English 
course. Beware of Benny 
'The Bruiser" Stone and tho 
MAFIA. Major in history. Do 
not ask Mr. Johnson how Ul 
spell ' tremendous." And most 
of all: beware of the 
SYMPOSIUM political editor. 
He is a terrible GDI (Indepen- 
dent). If you want a fair 
appraisal of him, ask any KA. 

This last word of warning. 
This is ordinarily a political 
column. Its format will be 
completely changed from the 
dry outside subjects that have 
been printed in it in the past. 
The major point of it from 
now on will be campus 
politics. No one is free from 
speculation. No one is safe 
from sarcasm. No one is able 
to avoid our probing eye. 
"Who knows what evil lurks 
in the hearts of men? The

Admissions Director 
Is European Authority 



Quite often, persons con- 
nected with colleges, whether 
they be students, faculty 
members, or administrative 
officials, have an opportunity 
to travel throughout the coun- 
try and world. However, not 
too many of the Millsaps fam- 
ily have had opportunities to 
share the extensive recent 
tours of Registrar and Direc- 
tor of Admissions Paul D. 
Hardin. 

In the past five years, Mr. 
Hardin has seen nearly all of 
Europe, making trips to Eu- 
rope each summer. 

Most of "Prof" Hardin's 
time has been spent in the 
British Isles, enjoying the 
scenic beauty of those coun- 
tries as well as picking up 
first-hand information regard- 
ing the English literature he 
has taught for several years 
at Millsaps. 

However, the trips have al- 
so included travel through 
Greece, France, the Scandina- 
vian countries, Switzerland, 
Germany, Austria, Italy, and 
most recently, Yugoslavia. 

What often makes "Prof's" 
trips more fascinating is that 
he often visits or boards with 
native families of the areas, 
as was the case this past

summer with his two - week 
stay in Yugoslavia, when he 
resided with a pair of profes- 
sional soccer players. This 
latest adventure, though Yu- 
goslavia has little in common 
with England and her sur- 
rounding area, certainly 
turned into one of the high- 
lights of Mr. Hardin's 
European vacations. 

"No student interested in 
history or geography could 
find a more interesting place," 
reports or registrar. The past 
unfolds itself — Greek, Roman, 
Venetian, Turkish, and Aus- 
trian marks all are evident. M 

The medieval towns of Du- 
brovnik and Trogir gained 
much of Mr. Hardin's atten- 
tion. Both are walled cities, 
the latter situated on a island 
and regarded as the outstand- 
ing example of a medieval 
town. A leading feature with- 
in its walls is a 13th century 
cathedral. 

Among other points of in- 
terest found by Prof Hardin 
were the Dalmation Coast, the 
icty of Split with its excellent 
beaches and high cultural de- 
velopment, and the mountain 
village of Mostar, a town 
which played a large role in 
the days of the fighting Turks 
and which, today, shows 
marked evidence of a large 
Turkish Mohammaden popu- 
lation. 

Of course, Mr. Hardin man- 
aged to find time to enjoy 
once again the wonders of 
England this past summer, 
but as he has said, each year 
he tries to see something he's 
never seen before. 

One can bet that very few 
freshmen knew that their 
"pen pal" admissions direc- 
tor, whose letter signature 
has no doubt become quite 
familiar, was also becoming 
an authority on his favorite 
subject: Europe

Eleven New Professors Join Faculty 



By EMILY COMPTON 
Society Editor 

Welcome to Millsaps! If 
you only knew how absurd we 
feel writing this as we sit on 
the beach in Pensacola, Flori- 
da, listening to the waves and 
burying our feet in the silvery 
sand!! Summer is vacation 
time except for the members 
of the Purple and White staff 
whose motto is 4 4 Reporters 
first, people last." 

Our two little sisters (whom 
many of you may remember 
from last year as the suppli- 
ers of many of our more out- 
standing jokes) have now de- 
cided to bury us in the sand ! ! 
This could be disastrous— but 
we shall try to write quickly 
so that you may get the social 
news of the summer!! 

Getting back to our little 
"welcome-to-Millsaps" at the 
beginning of this column, we 
seriously welcome everyone— 
sophomores, juniors, seniors, 
and especially the freshmen 
and transfers — to Millsaps 
College. We think it's a great 
school (although at times we 
do wonder) and hope that you 
will think so, too! 

Since this is the society col- 
umn, you should expect to 
read about the social events 
of the summer. You really 
should, but as we spent the 
majority of the summer on a 
neighborhood playground, our 
social contacts (with people 
of collegiate age level) have 
been rather limited. However, 
we shall do the best we can! 

Naturally, most of the fra- 
ternities and sororities on 
campus have been busy with 
rushing plans! The fraternities 
have had their summer rush 
parties— sorry we don't have 
all the places, dates, bands, 

Eudora Welty 
To Continue* 
In Millsaps Post 

Eudora Welty will continue 
to serve as Writer-in-Resi- 
dence at Millsaps College 
through the fall semester of 
1965-06. 

Miss Welty, Mississippi's 
foremost literary figure, 
served her first year-long res- 
idency at Millsaps last year. 

She teaches a semi-weekly 
course on the art of fiction, 
in which she encourages the 
students to write and helps 
them determine the charac- 
teristics of good writing. 
Work of the class itself and 
of established writers is dis- 
cussed and criticized. 

As writer-in-residence, she 
has presented a public lec- 
ture on "The Southern Writer 
Today" and a reading from 
a novel in progress. 



etc., about them. The sorori- 
ties held workshops during 
the last month of the summer 
to work out final plans for 
rush. 

This next week will certain- 
ly be hectic for everyone con- 
cerned. To the students who 
are going out for rush, we 
say this: Relax!! The fra- 
ternity and sorority members 
are more nervous than you 
(and we should know). So re- 
lax, have fun, and choose the 
group with which you best fit 
in! 

Summer is a wonderful 
time for love ! But, just as the 
summer fades, so does love. 
With this sad but true thought 
in mind, we will wait until 
the next issue to check up on 
all the romantic developments 
of the summer! 

The sand is being piled up 
higher and higher around us! 
It is getting a little more dif- 
ficult to write and we believe 
that we are a little water- 
logged, too. Our little sisters 
are getting too carried away 
with this idea of burying us in 
the sand— it's up to our neck 
now! 

The remaining sentences of 
this column are being dictated 
to our little brother who is 
laughing with glee at the 
prospect of seeing us buried 
in the sand. Our mouth is 
slowly filling with sand, but 
this column must be fin- 
ished. . .it must be. . .choke, 
choke. . .we must fulfill our 
respon. . .choke, cough. . . .

New Student Orientation 
Guided By Monk, Duck 



New students who begin- 
ning today will go through 
five days of valuable orienta- 
tion at Millsaps have many 
students to thank for their ef- 
forts. However, carrying by 
far the brunt of the work and 
coming through with flying 
colors are this year's co-chair- 
men, Sherry Monk and Jerry 
Duck. 

Sherry, a senior from Jack- 
son, is majoring in elementa- 
ry education. She is highly 
experienced in orientation 
proceedings — last year she 
was chairman of the retreat 
committee, while the previous 
year she served as an orien- 
tation counselor. 

Miss Monk is a member of 
Zata Tau Alpha sorority, is 
president of the M i 1 1 s a p s 
chapter of the Methodist Stu- 
dent Movement, and has been 
an officer in the Majorette 
Club and Eta Sigma Phi, La- 
tin and Greek honorary. 

She is a member of Sigma 
Lambda, women's leadership 
Honorary, is a member of 
the Chapel Choir, and has 
served as chairman of the Stu- 
dent Union Committee. 

Co - chairman Duck is the 
new vice-president of the Mill- 
saps student body. Jerry a 



member of Lambda Chi Alpha 
fraternity, is a pre - medical 
student. He is a junior from 
Purvis. 

Also an orientation counse- 
lor last year, Duck has ac- 
tively participated in the 
school intramural program 
and has been on the all-star 
team in basketball. Jerry is 
pledge trainer for Lambda 
Chi Alpha. 

Handling the transfer end 
of orientation is George Pick- 
ett, political science major 
from Jackson and a member 
of Kappa Alpha fraternity. 

Pickett has been active in 
a number of campus ac- 
tivities — he was a member of 
the Millsaps Troubadours who 
toured Europe two summers 
ago on a U.S.O. sponsored 
tour. George is a member of 
the Concert Choir. 

Other high committee mem- 
bers are Martha Byrd, pub- 
licity; John Grayson, physi- 
cal arrangements; Peggy Ann 
Lawrence, correspondence; 
Mary Neal Richerson, non- 
rush activities; Mary Ina Jor- 
dan, group schedule; James 
Golden, Greek relations; and

With Relatively Few Changes 




ADMISSIONS COUNSELORS— Sam Cole, seated, and Gerald 
Jacks have been appointed to new positions of admissions 
counselors at Millsaps. 



Admissions Posts Given 
Two Recent Graduates 



Two recent Millsaps Col- 
lege graduates have been ap- 
pointed to newly-created posi- 
tions during the past summer. 
Samuel G. Cole and Gerald 
Jacks are currently serving 
as admissions counselors in 
the area of student recruit- 
ment and admissions coun- 
seling. 

Cole, 1964 graduate of Mill- 
saps with a major in history, 
is a former editor and busi- 
ness manager of the Purple 
and White and received many 
honors. while at Millsaps. He 
was an officer in Kappa Al- 
pha fraternity. 

Before accepting the posi- 
tion, Cole was serving as 
manager of the Communica- 
tions department of the Jack- 
son Chamber of Commerce. 
He was one of eight young 
men across the nation chosen 
to participate in the first 
management-trainee program 
of the United States Chamber 
of Commerce in 1963. 

Jacks, a 1965 graduate and 
a political science major, also 
claimed many honors while 
in college. A member of the 
Concert Choir, Millsaps Play- 
ers, and the football squad 
while at Millsaps, Jacks was 



vice-president of the student 
body last year. 

Jacks, while at Millsaps, 
was president of Kappa Sig- 
ma fraternity, vice-president 
of the Inter-Fraternity Coun- 
cil, a campus favorite, and a 
member of the M Club. 



Lawrence Rabh 
I> Chosen Head 
Of Alumni Group 

Lawrence Rabb, a 1942 
graduate of Millsaps from 
Meridian, was elected presi- 
dent of the Millsaps Alumni 
Association in a ballot-by- 
mail election last spring. He 
assumed his duties on July 1, 
succeeding Dr. Robert Mayo 
of Raymond. 

The announcement was 
made on Alumni Day, shortly 
before the end of the spring 
semester. 

Other officers elected were 
John Awad, '56, Jackson, Dr. 
William E. Riecken, '52, Kos- 
ciusko, and Dr. Jessie L. Wof- 
ford, '43, Jackson, vice-presi- 
dents; and Miss Carolyn Buf- 
kin, '47, Jackson, secretary. 

1,100 ballots were returned 
in the election. 



With this orientation edi- 
tion, the present "executive" 
administration of the Purple 
and White turns into the home 
stretch, the second of two 
semesters at the ol' grind. 

Although there are many 
positions still to be filled, 
most of last semester's top 
brass remains intact. 

Harry Shattuck reassumes 
the task of editor-in-chief, al- 
so commonly known as 
"slave-driver." A political sci- 
ence major from Bay St. 
Louis, Shattuck served as 
sports editor before being se- 
lected for his present position. 

George Pickett returns to 
"haunt" the merchants of 
Jackson in his position of busi- 
ness manager. Pickett, politi- 
cal science major from Jack- 
son, formerly served as 
assistant business manager. 

Polly Dement returns as a 
valuable assistant editor. Al- 
ready holding nearly every 
honor a Millsaps lady can ob- 
tain, Miss Dement adds to 
this semester as treasurer of 
the student body. Polly, an 
English major from Vicks- 
burg, occasionally puts her 
"poisonous pen" to work in 
the form of editorials, but is 
also a tremendous help in 
those "behind - the - scenes" 
jobs very few people pay at- 



tention to: make-up, headline 
writing, etc. 

Marie Smith, another politi- 
cal science major from Pas- 
cagoula, retains her challeng- 
ing, time-consuming position 
of news editor and is respon- 
sible for "digging up" most of 
the news you'll read in the 
weeks ahead. 

Ben Mitchell, physics ma- 
jor from Cleveland, returns to 
our upper Student Union 
suite in two capacities: sports 
editor and leading P & W of- 
fice paper-ball hitter. Ben has 
exclusive charge of the sports 
pages and words of praise 
(as well as any gripes) re- 
garding our sports coverage 
will be warmly received by 
Mr. Mitchell. 

Two of our three col- 
umnists are back again with 
their words of wisdom: 
amusements editor Barry Mc- 
Gehee and society queen Emi- 
ly Compton (provided the lat- 
ter recovers from a somewhat 
unfortunate mishap on the 
beaches of sunny Florida — 
see society column). They are 
joined by a new face on the 
wall of heroes, political editor 
Ronald Goodbread. 

McGehee, from McComb, is 
no idle critic of the arts: be- 
sides offering his opinions 
on the talk of the day, Barry 



manages to appear in most of 
the Millsaps Players produc- 
tions, sings in the Concert 
Choir, and even weasled his 
way into one Little Theater 
production in Jackson: Came- 
lot. 

Miss Compton, otherwise 
known as the sheik of the 
burning sands, is well quali- 
fied for her post. Before work- 
ing as a reporter for the P & 
W, Emily was editor-in-chief 
of her high school paper in 
Vicksburg. 

Goodbread, though only in 
this issue assuming the offi- 
cial post of political editor, 
is no stranger to regular P & 
W readers (or is there such a 
thing). Ronald has written on 
several instances guest col- 
umns throughout his years at 
Millsaps. He is a history ma- 
jor from Jackson. 

Ernest Rucker returns as 
photographer. A sophomore 
from Lorman, Ernest also 
photographed for the Public 
Relations office last year. 

Sorely missed will be for- 
mer managing editor and fea- 
ture editor Sara Ann Wier, a 
genuine newspaper pro, who 
is spending this semester at 
American University in Wash- 
ington, D. C, as part of a 
political science program. 




Bill Croswell, Millsaps senior and Brady's collegiate representative 
is demonstrating one of a broad selection of the newest in fall fashions 
at Brady's of Meadowbrook Mart. Larry Adams is pictured in a sport 
coat chosen from a wide variety which would please the most exacting 
tastes in fine clothing. Slacks, shirts and accessories are all included 
in the best styles. Make sure to go see Bill and add a mark of dis- 
tinction to your fall wardrobe.

Rebuilt Majors Open Pre-Season Workouts; 
Six Lettermen Bolster Squad Of Thirty-Two 



By JIMMY GENTRY 

Diamond Anniversary 
Scholarship grants to 32 men 
will provide the spark for the 
1965 Millsaps football team. 

With six returning letter- 
men and three returning 
squadmen, head coach 
Harper Davis and assistant 
Tommy Ranager are working 
with 23 new boys. The boys 
reported for practice Tues- 
day, August 31, 18 days be- 
fore their first game which 
will be Friday, September 18 
at Austin. 

The 1965 Majors will be 
marked by increased size, 
speed, and depth, as well as 
experience with 14 junior col- 



lege transfers on hand. 

Offensively the Majors will 
retain their basic wing-T of- 
fense, occasionally using the 
double wing and man in mo- 
tion. The defense will feature 
the Tennessee style six man 
front with a three deep 
secondary. 

Six halfbacks, two quarter- 
backs, and three fullbacks 
will man the backfield. 

Heading the list of half- 
backs is Edwin Massey, a 
two-year letterman from Lau- 
rel who is Vl¥\ 180. Massey 
was last season's second lead- 
ing ground gainer and was 
also second in punt returns 
and kickoff returns. The fast- 



est back on last year's team, 
Massey made All Big 8 as a 
high school halfback and is a 
catcher-outfielder in baseball 
for Millsaps. 

David Morris, 5'10'\ 155, of 
New Albany is the other let- 
terman in the backfield. Mor- 
ris was fourth leading ground 
gainer last year. 

Jerry Huskey, 5' 10", 175, of 
Redwood is one of the four 
junior college transfers at 
halfback. He played at Hinds 
Junior College, where he also 
ran track. 

Troy Lee Jenkins, a WT*. 
170, halfback from Utica, was 
an All State Junior College se- 
lection at Hinds. 



WHAT THE STUDENTS AT 
MILLSAPS LIKE TO WEAR 





JIMMY GENTRY wears a McGregor Blazer of wool flannel. Jimmy 
selected a new burgandy from the selection of ten popular colors avail- 
able in this blazer. The colorful blazer was coordinated with Kent- 
field's No-Iron slacks. Of course, a striped oxfordcloth button-down 
collar shirt with the young man's most popular tie— a paisley print 
adds greatly to this outfit. Jimmy is wearing Pedwin's Roadrunner 
Shoes.

Notes 



by 
Shattuck 



11, 1965 



PURPLE & WHITE 



Pace 9 



If you're wondering wheth- 
er this sports columnist is 
any relation to the Purple 
and White editor-in-chief, 
you're right — they're one and 
the same. At least for this is- 
sue. 

Although the sports pages 
of the Purple and White will 
again be in the capable hands 
of Ben Mitchell this semester, 
we are handling the athletic 
coverage for this premier edi- 
tion and, being a ham, will 
give readers a little indica- 
tion of what might be ex- 
pected on the Millsaps foot- 
ball field this fall. 

This year marks the begin- 
ning of a new era in Mill- 
saps athletics. For the first 
time, the men out there on 
the field will have an incen- 
tive other than just "play for 
the glory of good ole Mill- 
saps." As this is being writ- 
ten, 32 boys are sweating it 
out on the practice turf and 
all 32 have some form of ath- 
letic scholarship. This is, we 
might add, 32 more than had 
financial assistance a year 
ago this time. 

Head coach Harper Davis, 
beginning his second year as 
head football coach, is opti- 
mistic about his team's 
chances this year although, 
with only two days practice 
completed as this paper went 
to press, it was a bit too 
early to make any definite 
statements. 

"We think things look pret- 
ty good," commented Davis. 
,4 The men are catching on to 
the plays real fast, and they 
all hustle which is real en- 
couraging. Our size is a good 
bit bigger than last year, and 
we're a good bit faster, too." 

Only six lettermen return 
from last year's club which, 
though losing all eight games, 
made games close enough to 
win statistically in five con- 
tests. Four additional squad- 
men return and are joined by 
22 newcomers, all on scholar- 
ships and many with junior 
college experience. 

Asked about his offense 
plans, Davis commented that 
the Majors would run again 
mostly from the Wing T and 
would also run a lot again 
from the double wing. 

"Other than that, our plans 
depend upon our personnel," 
the coach continues. "If we 
have a person who can throw 
and someone who can catch 
the ball, we'll try to take ad- 
vantage of that. We played a 
possession game last year be- 
cause that was the only type 
game we could play. This 
year we'll probably be more 
wide open." 

The club has already spent 
several days preparing for 
both the Austin and Sewanee 
games which open the sched- 
ule. Davis expects these two 
contests to be the roughest of 
the year and Georgetown, the 
Majors' third rival, is only a 
stride behind. 



Millsaps coaches hoped to 
bolster the roster to 35 before 
the start of school. The team 
worked out twice daily until 
Thursday when one - a - day 
workouts started. 

With so many new players, 
the club could have trouble 
getting together at the start, 
but before the season is over 
fans should see a vastly im- 
proved, interesting and win- 
ning Millsaps team. 

The coaching is there, the 
material is there, and given 
practice together, some of 
those lopsided scores of the 
past few years are going to 
be lopsided again. . .in the 
other direction. 




MILLSAPS 1965 FOOTBALL SQUAD 



Phil Goodyear Picked By Coaches 
To Ail-American Archery Team 



Millsaps has produced one 
of its few athletic All-Ameri- 
cancs the past year: Phil 
Goodyear, of Gulfport, who 
was recently named to the 
All - American College Arch- 
ery Team. 

Goodyear ranked third in 
the nation among college and 
university archers during the 
past year. He was selected 
for the Ail-American team by 



the National Collegiate Arch- 
ery Coaches Association. 

Millsaps has just completed 
its second year of archery 
competition on an intercol- 
legiate basis. Sponsor of the 
Millsaps team is Dean John 
Christmas. 

Goodyear, in the past two 
years, has swept awards at 
many tournaments while rep- 
resenting the school.

New Players Add Strength To Cage Squad 



By JEANNE BURNET 

Basketball coach James A. 
Montgomery anticipates an 
"interesting" basketball sea- 
son this year with five return- 
ing lettermen, three return- 
ing squadmcn. and ten new- 
comers for the 1965-66 cam- 
paign. 

Returning lettermen are led 
by Bobby Luckett, 6'3", 190, 
senior forward from Loretto, 
Kentucky. Last season's Most 
Valuable Player, Luckett 
transferred to Millsaps from 
St. Leo Junior College in 
Florida where he was team 
captain. 

Ronnie Husband, 6'2", 180, 
is a senior forward from 
Pearl. Husband was named 
Most Improved Player last 
year. Hap Wheeler, last 
year's Most Inspirational 
Player, will be a 511", 175, 
sophomore. Wheeler plays 
guard and is from Mobile, 
Alabama. 

Another returning letter- 
man is Dick Lee, 5'11", 170, 
guard, from York, Pennsyl- 
vania. He served last year's 
squad as permanent captain 
and played for York Junior 
College before coming to Mill- 
saps. 



Doug Greene, a 6'1", 180, 
senior, is a letterman at for- 
ward from Oliver Springs, 
Tennessee.

Tom Kopplin, a 5'10", 160

185, from Vicksburg, center. 

In addition to the five re- 
turning lettermen, Coach 
Montgomery hopes to get a 
better look at these three 
squadmen who were hamp- 
ered by a lack of physical 
training and unfamiliarity 
with offense and defense sys- 
tems as they transferred in 
second semester. 

Newcomers include five 
junior college transfers and 
five freshmen. Charles 
Rosenbaum, 6'4", 180, from 
Lindsey Wilson Junior College 
in Kentucky, is a transfer at 
forward, and is from Valley 
Station, Kentucky. A team-

man at guard. He served as 
team captain at Hazlehurst. 

Coach Montgomery antici- 
pates a team much stronger 
on rebounding and defense 
than last year's. The team 
should also display a great 
deal more playing experience 
with the Junior college trans- 
fers on hand. 

The basic offense will in- 
clude a lot of fast break with a 
patterned offense and a man- 
to-man defense. 

This season the Majors face 
a tough but attractive sched- 
ule with 13 home games. 
Every team on the schedule 
had a winning season last 



year. 

The highlight of the pre- 
Christmas action will be the 
Magnolia Tournament in the 
Coliseum with prospects of 
playing Mississippi College 
and /or the University of 
Southern Mississippi. 

Games with the University 
of Mexico and the University 
of Tampa will add spice to 
the home schedule.

(Continued from page 8) 
sippi State, Richardson was 
Millsaps' leading varsity 
baseball pitcher last year. 

Commenting on the first 
day's practice, Davis noted 
that everyone had reported in 
good shape and that it was 
one of the best first days of 
practice he had ever had. 

The Majors held twice a 
day workouts for the first 
week, being in shorts in the 
morning and pads in the aft- 
ernoon. 

Coach Davis' main problem 
rests in having to take a 
group of boys who have nev- 
er played together before, 
teach them the offensive and 
defensive systems, and weld 
them into a team with only 
18 days before the first game. 

According to Athletic Direc- 
tor James A. Montgomery, 
"This team will embody the 
most football experience seen 
on a Millsaps field since the 
post Korean War days when 
Coach Sammy Bartling's 1954 
team swept the Dixie Confer- 
ence for the third time in 
four years." 

On the subject of the schol- 
arship grants, Dr. Montgom- 
ery has pointed out that, 
"We're trying to equalize our- 
selves with our competition 
without minimizing the aca- 
demic purposes of the 
school."

On Extra-Curricular Activities 



Student interest and participation in 
extra-curricular activities will seem to 
a few students to be a petty thing to 
write an editorial about. But we deem 
it a matter of extreme importance be- 
cause such interest and participation 
is vital to the lifeblood of a college. 

The well-rounded student in 1965 is 
not a person who spends all his waking 
hours in a library or domitory room 
studying out of a book. Studying and 
learning from books is important, but 
only so much can be learned from the 
printed word. 

Students at Millsaps who take the 
normal load of 15 academic hours per 
semester find that they must have a 
certain number of extracurricular hours 
to go along with these academic hours 
in order to graduate in eight semesters 
without extra work. This is good! 

We feel that each student, regardless 
of the extra load or summer school 
courses he takes, should be required to 
have a certain number of extra-curricu- 
lar credits. 

Participation in the Millsaps Singers, 
Madrigals, or Chapel Choir, active 
work with the Players or on the de- 
bate team or the athletic fields, donat- 
ing of services to publications, or par- 
ticipation in other campus activities 
help to make a better well-rounded stu- 
dent and add to the enjoyment of col- 
lege for the entire student body. 

We are proud to say that at Millsaps 
extra-curricular participation by stu- 



dents is probably unequaled by any 
other school in Mississippi. Millsaps will 
always point with pride at her academ- 
ic records, but good showings by Mill- 
saps students go further than high test 
scores. 

Millsaps singing groups have gained 
national and even international ac- 
claim; the Millsaps Players are gen- 
erally regarded as one of, if not the out- 
standing amateur theatrical groups in 
the state; our debate teams annually 
come home from tournaments through- 
out the South with top ratings; last 
year's Bobashela, the campus annual, 
was as fine a publication of its type put 
out anywhere in the state; and, finally, 
how many other schools can you think 
of in Mississippi where (before this 
year) college men were willing to take 
time for football, basketball, baseball, 
and other sports just for the love of the 
game. 

This fall, we have had about 40 fresh- 
men express interest in joining the 
Purple and White staff. We hope more 
will do likewise. And we understand 
that the Bobashela as well as other 
groups on campus have found a similar 
interest in their work. 

We hope Millsaps students never 
lessen their interest in extra-curricular 
activities. We have a record to be proud 
of, a record which stands tall along 
with our academic achievements as a 
symbol of quality education. 



Retrospect . . . 



Movie Attracts Morbid Curiosity; 
Players Schedule First Production 



By BARRY McGEHEE 
Amusements Editor 

After spending a far from 
delightful dinner hour at the 
Jade Pagoda (which I have 
appropriately dubbed Chaing 
Chi Shakey's) I took myself 
to see a picture which I had 
already seen, but to which I 
felt drawn, not by any desire 
to see a great work of art, but 
by a morbid curiosity that I 
think there is a little bit of 
in aU of us. In fact, curosity 
is the only reason I can think 
of that would induce anyone 
to see Mondo Cane in the first 
place. 

The narration or prologue, 
call it what you will, explains 
that the movie is shocking, 
but then consoles the audience 
by informing us that so is 
life, so don't be too surprised. 
That, aside from any given 
performance by Leo G. Car- 
roll (U.N.C.L.E.'s uncle), was 
the understatement of the 
year. In fact, the most exag- 
gerated claim Mondo Cane 
could have made was to have 
been representative of life. 

What the picture was, how- 
ever, was a series of recorded 
happenings that make up the 
extremely weird side of life, 
and the great achievement of 
the moviemakers was to 
make the audience feel that 
they were, as advertised, the 
real, everyday occurrences 
that happen every day some- 
where in the world. That they 
do, but those somewhereas! 

On a more domestic note, 



the Players have already 
had tryouts for the opening 
show of the season, Arthur 
Miller's The Crucible. No 
doubt, the Millsaps campus 
was well able to produce the 
crop of self righteous Pruitan 
hypocrytes and witches that 
the script demands figuritive- 
ly speaking, of course.) 

The Crucible is a highly 
electric and historically ac- 
curate dramatization of the 
infamous Salem witch trials 
of the mid-seventeenth cen- 
tury. From having read the 
play no less than five times, 
I suspect that this production 
will be one of the most easily 
cast as well as one of the 
most powerful Players pro- 
ductions in a long time. 

The Millsaps Singers also 
are looming large on the do- 
mestic cultural horizon this 
semester. I have always felt 
that the Singers left a great 
hole in their reputation by 
neglecting the excellence of 
their performances in the 
Jackson area. 

While building notable rep- 
utations in Memphis and New 
Orleans, they (and here I 
speak as amusements editor 
rather that a member of the 
Millsaps Singers) have not 
given a Jackson performance 
of note lately, and have left 
this fertile ground to the ad- 
vances of the group of Bel- 
haven College. Certainly, the 
performances given last year 
at the Feast of Carols and at 
the Mississippi Fine Arts 



Festival were no demonstra- 
tion of the work of which the 
Singers are capable. 

I say all of this to make 
the following point clearer. 
The Singers are actually 
planning a Jackson perform- 
ance this fall, and I, as a 
Singer, will be more anxious 
about it than many that have 
been done elsewhere. The 
work is an impressive one, 
the Schubert Messe E dur — 
a little performed mass that 
I think should have greater 
recognition than con- 
temporary choral aggrega- 
tions choose to give it. 

Needless to say, this per- 
formance will be by way of 
re-introduction of the Millsaps 
Singers into the Jackson 
music world. I hope the policy 
that seems to be prevalent 
among the powers that be will 
continue (with, of course, 
those wonderfully exciting 
side trips for which the 
Singers are famous.) 



Juniors, Seniors 
To Fill In Cards 

All juniors and seniors who 
have not yet filled out an ac- 
tivities card, have been asked 
to do so at once in the Stu- 
dent Personnel Office. These 
cards will be used by the var- 
ious honoraries for tapping 
purposes and by a student- 
faculty committee who will 
nominate candidates for 
Who's Who in American Col- 
leges and Universities. 



IDEAS 



AND 

OPINIONS 




Now comes one of the 
major tests of the new Mill- 
saps athletic program as far 
as this editor is concerned. 
Under a new scholarship 
plan, the Major footballers 
have gone down to two de- 
feats at the start of the sea- 
son and now face the far from 
likeable prospect of taking to 
the road for the next three 
contests. 

Ironically, that "test" to 
which we are referring is not 
so much concerned with a 
challenge to the football 
squad themselves as it is to 
the student body of Millsaps. 
Our gridders have lost two 
games in a row, true, but 
looking closer at those losses 
we notice a couple of things: 

First of all, the defeats 
were at the hands of the 
toughest opponents who will 
face the Majors all season; 
second, the losses, though a 
loss is a loss, were not as bad 
as the unmentionable scores 
piled up against the team in 
the same two contests last 
year. 

Now, the big question in 
our mind which needs to be 
answered is whether or not 
the student body will continue 
to support the Majors through 
the coming road games and 
the remaining two home con- 
tests. 

Millsaps coaches Harper 
Davis, and Tommy Ranager, 
athletic director James 
Montgomery, and the entire 
squad have worked too hard 
this fall to allow a couple of 
extra-tough games spoil a 
season. The student body 
should have the same outlook. 

We hope that all students 
who can possibly do so will 
attend one or more of the up- 
coming road games on the 
schedule. We would like to 
see enough student interest in 
the Majors to make feasible 
the possibility of one or more 
student busses being taken to 
a couple of the road games. 
If there is enough interest 
among the students, plans 
could probably be worked out 
that would be economically 
reasonable to the students at- 
tending. 

Having student backing at 
an out-of-town game would 
certainly have a good effect 
upon the players and coaches. 
We doubt if many football 
teams spend an entire fall at 
hard practice just to enable 
their student bodies to read 
about their games in a news- 
paper — they want and de- 
serve active encouragement. 

We have spoken to SEB 
president Larry Adams about 
the possibility of student 
busses and he has assured us 
that the matter will be dis- 
cussed at the first Student 
Senate meeting this week. 
But what can you do? Let 
your interest in such a project 
be known — president Adams 
has suggested that students 
inform their newly - elected 
student senators of their will- 
ingness to participate. 

Millsaps will not lose all its 



football games this year— the 
squad is vastly improved over 
a year ago and will be play- 
ing hard-nosed football the 
rest of the season. We hope 
the student body will continue 
to give the team and coach- 
ing staff its encouragement 
and, if possible, its active at- 
tendance in the coming 
month.

Sherry Monk and Jerry Duck. 

We've heard many fresh-

By RONALD GOODBREAD 
Political Editor 

Now it comes. No sooner 
had the bids been picked up, 
than I heard the old fraterni- 
ty intonement "Go to hell — l M 
echoing through the halls of 
Buchingham Palace (known 
to the bourgeoisie as Burton 
Hall). 

The freshmen that came 
here as strangers and became 
a special kind of friends for 
the first week, went through 
rush together sharing hopes 
and opinions, are now 
pledges. They are now divid- 
ed into sectional "fraterni- 
ties." 

They will henceforth go 
through their pledge service 
together, learn all there is to 
know about their fading fra- 
ternity system, be beaten, 
carried nude to the Trace and 
left there, become the servant 
of the actives, until they will 
reach at last that glorious 
day when they will be put 
through a pagan initiation 
ceremony, all in the name of 
"brotherhood." 

Need we say as much for 
the sororities? Only God and 
their long line of third semes- 
ter pledges can appreciate to 
what they must be subjected. 
So much for the stagnant GDI 
observations about fraternity 
life which all have come to 
expect from this writer. 

It is hardly worth noting the 
eventual outcome of these 
pledges classes from a socio- 
political point of view: The 
Sig pledges will quit buying 
socks, the KA pledges will 
now have to get bigger hats, 
the LXA pledges will run a 
so-so career in college poli- 
tics, and the Pike pledges will 
carry on as if nothing had 
happened and quietly fade in- 
to the academic life of Mill- 
saps College. 

This is the matter of course 
which takes place every year, 
but it should be pointed out 
that this will be true only of 
most of the pledges. Discount- 
ing the ones that will drop 
their pledges (as several 
have already done), those that 
will fail to make their grades, 
flunk the pledge manual 
exam, or get fed up with the 
whole affair, these men and 
women of our fine social 
groups will be left with the 
hard-core bitter - enders who 
will make good fraternity 
men and women by and large 
(although being a good Greek 
is a debateable quality). 

From these shall come the 
leaders that were spoken of 
so much in rush. For this 
they shall be recognized, how- 
ever, not as members of their 
respective fraternities and so- 
rorities, but as individuals (as 
opposed to those who couldn't 
make it to active status, and 
those who did make it and 
faded away afterward). 



They will be noted as having 
that quality of, yes, independ- 
ence. This is what makes po- 
litical success on this cam- 
pus. To the voter, what the 
candidate has done for his 
fraternity or sorority is of 
very little consequence, for it 
too often entails doing some- 
thing against the other social 
groups to enhance his own 
cause. The voter wants to 
know what the candidate can 
and will do for Millsaps Col- 
lege. 

I will admit that the out- 
come of rush as far as the 
frats are concerned did sur- 
prise me to some extent. The 
Sigs made a remarkable 
showing, and quite frankly, 
did better than I (and most 
others) expected. 

I think, however, that spe- 
cial attention should be given 
to Mack Varner of Kappa Al- 
pha who did the best, at least 
number-wise. I had the privi- 
ledge of attending the last 
KA rush party and it was a 
tremendous success. In much 
the same way as Vice-Presi- 
dent Duck (through his own 
merits) increased his already 
great presidential prospects 
through his work in Orienta- 
tion, so has Mr. Varner, I 
think, opened up a door to a 
political career on the Mill- 
saps Campus. 

Indeed, all of these rush 
chairmen — Kirk Nelson, 
Graham Lewis, John Black- 
ledge, and Mack Varner — 
have made quite an impres- 
sion on those who have 
watched them work. 

Although it may be a little 
early to make a prediction, it 
seems to me, that this year 
may mark the advent of a 
change of the political tide 
away from its present mas- 
ters. In short, the era of the 
"Alphas" may be drawing to 
a close. 

I suppose that a word 
should be said about our fine 
young ladies in the sororities, 
because I believe with Sir 
John Suckling that "Women 
are the baggage of life: they 
are troublesome, and hinder 
us in the great march, and 
yet we cannot be without 
'em." 

What could have been more 
impressive (or ridiculous, if 
you choose) than watching 
the girls take their bids to the 
house of their choice on Sat- 
urday last. The long and anx- 
ious walk down Sorority Row 
under the hopeful eyes of the 
activities and the wistful eyes 
of the men assembled there I 
should imagine is a memora- 
ble event in the career of 
these girls. 

The chanting and clapping 
of the KD's and Phi-Mu's did 
remind me, I must say, of 
the Nebraska farmer herding 
pigs or sheep. It was almost 
as if they thought that the 
girls had not already made 
up their minds when they ar- 
rived and that the singing of 
these Sirens could lure the 
prospective pledge vessel into 
their home port. I was much 
more impressed with the sim- 
ple dignity of the Chi Ome- 
ga's and the solemn if some- 
what gloomy patience of the 
Zetas. 



Someone asked Emily 
Compton during this pande- 
moneum who the KD's had 
pledged and pointing to the 
KD house, her beaming, mat- 
ter-of-fact and proud reply 
was, "You name them, they 
are there!" Standing out in 
front of the Chi O House, Sus- 
an Tenny had a motherly look 
on her face as she was sur- 
rounded by her brood of very 
respectable pledges, as if to 
say, "Let them rave; I know 
we got the best of the lot." 

The Phi Mu's and the Zetas 
shut themselves up when I 
got there, so my observations 
on them are not worth repeat- 
ing. 

It has been said that there 
are three creatures which 
seem to be going when they 
are coming, and vice- versa: 
politicians, women and crabs. 
Unfortunately this is too of- 
ten true, especially in the 
case of a crabby woman poli- 
tician (not that I am suggest- 
ing that any of our ladies of 
political distinction are crab- 
by). 

It seems to me, however 
unfortunate you may consider 
it to be that the women — at 
least the sororities — on this 
campus are taking more of 
an interest in politics than 
ever before. 

When this writer ran for 
vice-president last year, one 
of the t h i n g s he failed to 
overcome was the tremen- 
dous support that the women 
on this campus gave to the 
candidate of their choice. 
There are no harder work- 
ers — or sorer losers — than 
women. This may be a valua- 
ble observation, especial- 
ly with the quality of this 
year's sorority pledges. 

As I mentioned before, how- 
ever, what success any Greek 
has in politics on this cam- 
pus will be due to his or her 
qualities of individuality rath- 
er than his or her success as 
a member of a particular so- 
cial group. For this reason, I 
could never understand the 
purpose behind, for instance, 
the granting of the charter to 
Gamma Gamma, the new 
Greek Honorary. So far as I 
know it has done absolutely 
nothing, although I shouldn't 
complain to this extent, for 
when you stop to think about 
it, what is there for it to do in 
the first place? What is it 
good for? To make Greeks a 
member of another Greek or- 
ganization, so that we may 
have Greek Greeks? This is 
somewhat like making Geron- 
imo an Honorary Indian, or 
Ross Barnett an Honorary 
White Man. 

But lest I be branded as the 
vile and treacherous attacker 
of an unsuspecting group of 
successful Greeks, let me 
slack off for a bit. Too, often, 
I think, the people on this 
campus, take what I have to 
say about fraternities and so- 
rorities as being solely de- 
pracatory. 

While I can find very little 
excuse for these social organ- 
izations per se, I by no means 
find them reprehensive. Most 
of the time it is only 
some of the people in them. 
This is a misconception I 



tried hard to correct during 
rush week. As a political 
columnist, and as an individ- 
ual, I have a great deal of 
respect for their socio-politi- 
cal influence and work on the 
Millsaps Campus. Were they 
to be removed, political life 
would be a lesser thing and I 
would probably be out of a 
job (which I may be anyway 
before long). 

My own opinion on the mat- 
ter is that I can and do have 
more respect for the person 
who can become Business 
Manager of the Annual, or 
Editor of the P&W, or Sena- 
tor, or President of the Stu- 
dent Executive Board on his 
own merits, rather than either 
depending upon the record or 
asking for the support of a 
fraternity or sorority which 
he has had very little hand in 
building. 

Now, let me say a word 
about this column and this 
newspaper. I have been criti- 
cized, and I think it is a valid 
criticism, in that some have 
felt that I have overstepped 
the bounds of this column in 
criticizing, or at 1 e a s t ap- 
praising, the social organiza- 
tions of this campus. 

This is, after all, a political 
column. But I feel that 
what I have had to say has 
been more interesting to the 
Millsaps student than say 
Afro-Asian politics, or some 
other far-fetched topic, used 
by previous authors of SYM- 
POSIUM. There is a fine line 
between socio- and political 
influence and it is neither 
good newspaper coverage nor 
good politics to ignore either. 

I am going to leave the re- 
porting of social events on 
this campus to our distin- 
guished social editor, Miss 
Compton (isn't that nice of 
me?) but I am going to cover 
the effects and influence of 
them myself. This is my job, 
as I see it. I will never apolo- 
gize for what I write in this 
column. It is a simple fact of 
life: I am in one position, you 
are in another. I write; you 
read. I give my opinions as a 
newspaperman and if you 
don't like them, why, we run 
a letters-to-the-editor column 
every week. But really it is 
not as simple as that. A 
newspaper writer who writes 
as I do can afford to make 
enemies only as a newspaper 
writer—not as a person. 

For the kindness, respect 
and appreciation I have re- 
ceived from those who have 
read this column I -am grate- 
ful. But I shall continue to 
call a spade a spade, a KA a 



KA and a Zeta a Zeta. "It is 
the duty of the chronicler to 
report the truth, not to color 
it." But as I say, I am here 
and I will do my job in much 
the same spirit as did the 
Roman Emperor Sulla did 
when he said, "No man has 
ever wished me well or done 
me ill, that I have not repaid 
him in full." 

Now concludes the serious 
statements of policy and poli- 
tics that most of you aren't 
really interested in reading 
anyway. I think there are 
some general observations 
worth making at this time, 
which might prove a little 
more entertaining and inter- 
esting to the readers of Sym- 
posium. 

I have noticed lately, espec- 
ially since the previous arti- 
cle by this writer, that when 
I pass by a group of Pikes 
there emerges some peculiar 
noise. HISSING at newspaper 
men is not very sweet, boys, 
and I hope that this little 
lesson in manners will make 
it obvious that it is neither 
very profitable . We in 
SYMPOSIUM are sure that 
from now on we will get along 
much better, and are most 
anxious to do so. 

Several honors have come 
to me during this last week. 
Nearly all the fraternities ex- 
tended personal invitations to 
this writer to come by their 
house during rush for a visit. 
I was quite honored and im- 
pressed by the reception giv- 
en me at the LXA, KA, and 
KS houses. The Pikes did not 
invite this writer — an honest 
mistake, I'm sure. 

I also have been informed 
that my name was mentioned 
(in one capacity or another) 
at the KA chapter meeting on 
Friday last— an honor I hold 
in high appreciation. 

But perhaps my greatest 
achievement during this past 
rush week (and perhaps in 
my years at Millsaps) was 
earning the unofficial order 
of the PINQUE PHINQUE 
(in the language of us riff- 
raff and "hoy-paloy," that's 
pronounced "Pink Fink.") 
named after their no doubt 
flushed complexious over last 
week's column and so select- 
ively rendered by the gracious 
ladies of Phi Mu. 

At this I am speechless, but 
I am reminded of one of my 
favorite quotations by Presi- 
dent Truman, which may be, 
I think, very well applied in 
this instance and to those oth- 
ers of have complaint with 
SYMPOSIUM: "If you can't 
stand the heat, stay out of 
the kitchen.

September Finds Life 
Busy On The Campus 



By EMILY COMPTON 

•Try to remember a day 
in September" . . . when one 
wasn't busy orientating or be- 
ing oriented, having his head 
shaved or shaving them, go- 
ing to rush parties and worry- 
ing about the impressions one 
made, when one wasn't trying 
out for cheerleader, running 
for a class office, or putting 
up signs, when one had a few 
free minutes (other than those 
long minutes spent in the 
grill) to write a letter home 
or listen to the radio or stereo 
or sleep late in the mornings. 

We tried and we can't re- 
member one day at all. Even 
Sundays are jam-packed es- 
pecially with that long cafe- 
teria line! And all signs point 
to an even busier month of 
October! 

Perhaps it would be appro- 
priate to begin this column 
with a sincere congratulation 
to all the pledges of the var- 
ious fraternities and sorori- 
ties! So . . . congratulations! 
A list of the eight pledge 
classes will be found (we 
hope) elsewhere in this paper. 

Now, as promised in an ear- 
lier edition of the paper, we 
shall publish the official list 
of the couples who got 
dropped, pinned or engaged 
during the summer vacation 
or in isolated cases this past 
week. Beginning the list of 
those dropped (parents have 
a definite misconception of 
this word and usually exhibit 
a feeling of pity towards the 
young girl so honored) are 
Susan Duquette, a sophomore 
KD from Sommerville, Ten- 
nessee, and Bill Mayfield, a 
junior KA from Taylorsville. 
Congratulations to Marilyn 
McDonald, a sophomore ZTA 
from Tunica who is dropped 
to Steve Whatley, junior 
Lambda Chi from Vicksburg 
who got dropped (on the 
front porch of Franklin Hall) 
in an infamous purple bath- 
tub filled with a concoction 
of ketchup, perfume, cigarette 
butts, and ivory liquid.

Being "pinned-down" isn't 
so bad, especially if you ask 
Lynne Robertson, junior Chi 
O from New Orleans and Ben- 
ny Stone, senior KA from 
Laurel. Congratulations also 
to Sandy Hill, senior KD from 
Gulfport and Kirk Nelson, a 
senior Kappa Sig from Stark- 
ville, who got pinned this sum- 
mer. 

Of special interest is that 
Sam Cole, former student and 
now at Millsaps and Ruth 
Pickett, KD at Millsaps and 
now a teacher in Atlanta, 
Georgia, are pinned. 

Congratulations to Anna 
Dennery, a senior Chi O from 
Jackson, who is engaged to 
David Meadows, KS at the 
University Medical Center. 
Also to George Pickett, a jun- 
ior KA from Jackson, and 
Lynne Krutz, 1965 graduate 
of Millsaps from Belzoni, who 
are engaged! 

Welcome back to Billy Cros- 
well and his harem, Nancy 
Underwood, Janice Williams, 
Wanda Weems, Ann Middle- 
ton and Jo Oliver from 
France. Gone to take their 
places in Europe are Britty 
Merritt, Beverly Humphries, 
Julia Ward, David Pointer. 
We will expect firsthand 
(although probably censored) 
reports of the social life 
abroad soon! 

Although you are probably 
getting weary from reading 
this rather lengthy column 
we have one most important 
item to stress— and that is 
SUPPORT THE MAJORS. Be- 
cause of a new and nasty 
(for us in the social world) 
press deadline, we are unable 
to report about the success of 
the Sewanee game and the 
barbeque supper and dance 
following it . . . but we know 
it was great. We hope you 
went to the game! 

Ending on a light note: 
some people enjoy getting 
things for free or jypping pay 
machines . . . but not us. We 
put our clothes in the washer 
at one in the afternoon and 
they washed for six hours — 
non-stop! We have the clean- 
est clothes on campus! 



We have to know when to 
lead and when to follow. — A

David Pointer Spends Year 
In Vienna History Program 



By BARRY MCGEHKK 

For years Millsaps students 
have been basking in the 
French sun under the guise 
of studying abroad. Finally, 
however, the Millsaps interna- 
tional community has moved 
to higher if not greener pas- 
tures. This year, David Point- 
er, Millsaps junior and Jack- 
son history major, has taken 
up residence in one of the 
most history-oriented cities in 
the world, Vienna, Austria. 

Primarily, the program, 
sponsored by the Institute of 
European Studies, is designed 
to give the American student 
the specialized courses in sub- 
jects concerning the cultural 
or political aspects of Euro- 
pean civilization that he would 
not be able to receive in his 
home university. 

For example, David is en- 
rolled in courses in Gothic 
painting and sculpture, in a 
detailed history course tak- 



ing its sources from the By- 
zantine culture, and a history 
of political thought taught 
by Honorary Professor of 
Modern History Dr. Friedrich 
Engel-Janosi of the University 
of Vienna, whom many Mill- 
saps students know is the fa- 
ther of Mrs. James M. Mc- 
Mullan of the Millsaps history 
department. 

The entire curriculum for 
David's studies abroad was 
worked out by David and Dr. 
Ross Moore, and all credits 
are transferable toward ap- 
plication for a degree at Mill- 
saps. 

Supplementary to his regu- 
lar courses, David will be 
making field trips that are ac- 
tually extended lectures. The 
first such excursion has an 
itinerary that includes Lon- 
don, Oxford, Burges, Brussels, 
Paris, Aachen, Bonn, Munich, 
and Salzburg. A second field 
trip during the Easter vaca- 
tion follows a route through 
Italy and climaxes in a visit 
to Rome at the end of Holy 
Week. 

During the Christmas holi- 
days, the group is scheduled 
to spend a few days in a 
ski lodge In the Austrian

Alps where the students can 
meet and talk on a less for- 
mal basis. 

Yet, it would seem that all 
the time spent away from 
Vienna would be little attrac- 
tion of the city itself as a 
place of study, which would 
be a grave error indeed. Vi- 
enna, the ancient and baroque 
capital of what was once the 
greatest Empire in the world, 
acts as though she were still 
just that, as well she 
may be, for among the cul- 
tural centers of the world, Vi- 
enna is the ruler — the undis- 
puted master (though Paris 
makes some weak claims) of 
the cultural empire. 

Thus, it would seem logical 
that this city would be the 
first to offer courses of 
instruction to the Institute of 
European Studies. The Uni- 
versity of Vienna, the sponsor- 
ing institution, so to speak, 
along with the Sorbonne in 
Paris and the Universities of 
Madrid, Nantes, and Frei- 
burg, offer faculty and 
courses to American students 
participating in the program. 

The courses are taught in 
English, although a year of 
German is required to be ac- 
cepted for the course, with 
some German courses taught 
for those who feel capable. 

As to the cost of so extrava- 
gent a year, one can get away 
with it for less than the cost 
of a year at Millsaps, includ- 
ing travel. Therefore, since 
the deadline for application is 
May 10, I suggest that all 
prospectives Herr's and Frau- 
lines get with their advisers 
immediately. See you in Vi- 
i!

Famous Personal Collection

David Atwood look over portions of the Lehman Engel per- 
sonal collection now at Millsaps along with librarian. 

Dr. Graves Speaks On 
"Nature Of Education" 



By MARIE SMITH 

Stressing the importance of 
the involvement technique in 
the process of education, 
President Benjamin Graves 
delivered an address before 
chapel Thursday, Sept. 16, en- 
titled, "The Nature of Edu- 
cation. 0 

He said that true education 
is much more than a regurgi- 
tation process— that it de- 
mands immersion of the stu- 
dent in his total college en- 
vironment, not just what 
takes place in the classroom. 
Involvement, he said, is go- 
ing on in the coffee shop, in 
the libraries, in the dormi- 
tories, in organizations, and 
in bull sessions. 

The president listed the es- 
sential steps in the involve- 
ment process as 1. a decision 
on the part of students that 
there is something to be 
gained here and a willingness 
to give and get; 2. a reason- 
able degree of aptitude; 
3. strong motivations; and 4. 
willingness to expend some 
energy in pursuit of these 
motives. 

The president also spoke 
briefly on the matter of free- 
dom and resonsibility, re- 
minding the student body of 
the very small margin sepa- 
rating freedom and anarchy. 
Expressing fear that we have 
crossed the lines of freedom 
in some sectors and have en- 
tered an area of anarchy, he 
cited several examples— the 
recent happenings in Los An- 
geles and on the University 
of California campus at Berk- 
ley, the shooting of a Jack- 
son minister, and the dyna- 
miting of an automobile in 
Natchez. 

"Such acts are not only 
despicable, but they vent the 



energies of our people in a 
wholly negative direction," he 
said. Stressing that the ob- 
jective at Millsaps is educa- 
tion and anything that inter- 
feres with this process is an 
unfortunate burden, President 
Graves admonished all stu- 
dents to look upon one an- 
other as individuals and noted 
bits of evidence on this point. 
The first was the performance 
of last year's senior class on 
the Graduate Record Exami- 
nations, which are part of the 
written comprehensive here. 
They performed at the 62.5 
percentile nationally, which 
means that Millsaps students 
did better than almost two out 
of every three persons on a 
national scale, despite the 
fact that in most instances 
they were competing against 
only those persons who were 
anticipating going on to grad- 
uate school. 

The second bit of evidence 
was a recent study done by 
Dr. Allan Cartter, vice-presi- 
dent of the American Council 
on Education. The president 
said that Dr. Cartter, using 
the percentage of undergrad- 
uates awarded fellowships in 
selected programs as an in- 
dex to measure the quality of 
Southern University Educa- 
tion, shows that Millsaps 
ranks thirty-fifth among ap- 
proximately 2100 colleges in 
the United States, and ahead 
of such institutions as Johns 
Hopkins, Tulane, Cornell, 
W e 1 1 s 1 e y, Dartmouth and 
many others which might be 
considered superior. 



A wish to provide current 
and future generations of Mis- 
sissippians with the musical 
reference source which was 
lacking when he was a child 
has led composer-conductor- 
author Lehman Engel to con- 
tribute a large portion of his 
personal collection to the Mill- 
saps library. 

The collection contains the 
original manuscripts of some 
of his own compositions as 
well as of other composers, 
framed autographs, personal 
correspondence between Mr. 
Engel and other famous per- 
sonalities, letters from famed 
composers, documents signed 
by historical charac- 
ters, books and phonograph 
records. 

The collection is housed in 
the Faculty Lounge of the 
Millsaps-Wilson Library. Mr. 
Engel has said that he will 
continue to add to the collec- 
tion through the years. Upon 
his death all of his books, 
music, and manuscripts will 
go to the Library. 

Mr. Engel, a Jacksonian 
who has achieved great suc- 
cess as a composer and as a 
conductor, recently received 
the Bellamann Foundation 
Award. He has been con- 
nected with such Broadway 
hits as "What Makes Sammy 
Run?" and "Bajour." He is 
president of Arrow Music 
Press, a publishing company 
which was founded by Mr.

lishes but is connected with 
the British concern Boosey

Arrow's music. 

Among the items in the col- 
lection are photostatic repro- 
ductions of all the music of 
the late Charles Ives, a com- 
poser who has become recog- 
nized as very original and 
distinctly American. Mr. Ives, 
a wealthy stockbroker who 
lived in semi-seclusion, 1 e t 
Arrow publish his music at 
his own expense. The revenue 
from his music, Mr. Ives 
stipulated, was to be used to 
publish the work of poor com- 
posers. One of the letters in 
the collection is one from Ives 
to Engel which has been pub- 
lished many times. 

The collection contains let- 
ters written by Wagner, 
Verdi, Offenbach, Brahms, 
Strauss, and other composers, 
and documents signed by 
such personages as Frederick 
the Great, Louis XIV, and 
Alexandre Dumas. There are 
letters to Mr. Engel from per-

others.

estimates that his final col- 
lection will contain from 3,000 
to 5,000 record albums which 
will include music of every 
variety. 

The books contributed range 
from technical volumes on

Also included are Arrow

says are hard to come by 
now. 

Mr. Engel is currently en-

will be a serious analysis of 
musical theatre from his point 
of view as both composer and 
conductor. He is also the 
author of PLANNING AND 
PRODUCING A BROADWAY 
SHOW and other books. He 
has composed incidental 
music for a number of plays, 
including "A Streetcar Named 
Desire," "Macbeth, " and 
"Hamlet." 

He considers his most ex- 
citing project two workshops 
in which he teaches profes- 
sional composers and lyric 
writers to adapt their work 
for the musical theatre.

Majors Downed 19-0 
By Sewanee Tigers 




SEWANEE POWER PLAY: Jimmy Waide penetrates into the 
Sewanee backfield as two of their backs prepare to block him. 



Millsaps Opens Year 
With Loss To Austin 



By ROD BARTLETT 

Sewanee's dynamite, partic- 
ularly in the form of Bill 
Johnson, was too much for 
Millsaps to short circuit and 
Sewanee romped to a 19-0 win 
over the Majors. 

It wasn't long after the 
opening kickoff, when an ex- 
change of punts put the 
Sewanee in a hole on their 
own 12 yard line. Bill Johnson, 
on the first play pulled the 
Sewanee single wing to the 
left and, showing uncommon 
broken field ability to go along 
with his brute strength, went 
88 yards to score. Church- 
hill's kick hit the uprights, 
leaving Sewanee with a 6-0 
lead. 

With the exception of Mas- 
sey hitting well to the left 
side, the Majors showed no 
offense and Sewanee took 
over. With Millsaps still feel- 
ing from the Tigers' last sud- 
den score, Johnson hit his 
right end and simply bowled 



over Majors until Stanley 
Graham, showing good pur- 
suit from his defensive tackle 
position made a last ditch 
stop on Johnson at the Major 
7. 

Sidetracking Sewanee's ex- 
press was temporary, how- 
ever, as Johnson completed 
the effort on the next play. 
Underwood converted on this 
attempt and Sewanee held a 
13-0 lead shortly after the end 
of the first quarter. 

The Majors' offense seemed 
to be matching their defense, 
and with no evident passing 
game, the Sewanee defense 
continued to stack up the 
Majors' backs. After an ex- 
change of the ball, Sewanee 
punt and Massey's runback 
was stopped within the Mill- 
saps 10 yard line. Again Mill- 
saps got nowhere and 
Sewanee took over after the 
punt at the Major 48. 

Showing that they could 
pass as well as run, Gignilliat 



threw to Mike Knichelbine, 
all alone, with nothing but the 
goal line ahead, but Knichel- 
bine obligingly dropped the 
ball. Then Gignilliat kicked 
badly to the Major 27 yard 
line. Sewanee's generous 
repreive, seemed to awake 
the Major offense, as Neely, 
0-3 passing at the time, hit 
Troy Lee Jenkins going full 
speed on a look-in pattern, and 
before the Tiger defense could 
catch him, he had eaten up 
45 yards. 

Good running by Jenkins 
and Bobbins picked up one 
first down and left the Majors 
a fourth and four on the 
Sewanee 12. Neely rolled to 
the left side, but got no help 
and Sewanee took over. Aided 
by penalties, the Major de- 
fense toughen, and a good 
rush by Jimmy Waide left 
Sewanee a 4th and 20 situa- 
tion. 

Giugilliat made his second 
straight bad kick that stopped 
on the Tiger 29. After one un- 
successful pass attempt, 
Neely scrambling away from 
four Tiger linemen had two 
men wide open at the goal 
line, but the Millsaps nemesis, 
Bill Johnson came out of no- 
where to deflect the ball at 
the last possible second. 

Millsaps gave up the ball on 
downs and again Bill Johnson 
hit his right side on the Tigers 
first play, went around, over, 



By JIMMY GENTRY 

SHERMAN, Texas — A 1 1- 
American quarterback Jerry 
Bishop combined his passing 
with the running of fullback 
Mike Maloney for a 32-0 Aus- 
tin College victory over the 
Millsaps Majors here Satur- 
day afternoon. 

Bishop hit 18 of 30 passes 
for 203 yard while Maloney 



and through Major defenders, 
for 72 yards and a 19 - 0 
Sewanee lead. Again the PAT 
failed, as Ted Weller and Bill 
Milton tore in to block the at- 
tempt. At half time, Johnson 
had scored 18 points and 
Sewanee had a 19-0 lead. 

As the second half opened 
Ed Massey took the Kickoff 
(Continued an page 7) 



totaled 92 yards in 15 carries. 

Austin started the scoring 
in the first quarter when they 
drove 52 yards to score with 
7:10 left to play. Key plays 
were a 21-yard pass from 
Bishop to end Gerald Thomp- 
son and a 15-yard scoring 
thrust from Bishop to Dick 
Hill. Joe Johnston's PAT kick 
was good. 

Austin scored again with 
1:43 left in the first quarter 
after driving 45 yards with 
Bishop passing two yards to 
end John Menfee for the 
score. A 24-yard screen pass 
from Bishop to Bob Smith 
aided in the drive. 

With 10:52 left in the second 
quarter the Kangeroos scored 
again on a Bishop to Hill pass 
for 19 yards. A pass intercep- 
tion by Fred Maples had given 
Austin the ball on the Mill- 
saps 40 yard line. 

The Majors defense stiffen 
in the second half and the of- 
fense drove to the four yard 
line before a fumble killed the 
drive. 

Austin scored their last TD 
in the Fourth quarter when 
Curtis Tillett threw a 33 yard 
pass to Gary Carver for the 
score. A 35 yard pass play 
one down earlier set up the 
score. 

For Millsaps, Edwin Mas- 
sey led in rushing with 46 
yards on 13 Carries. Gerold 
Robbins picked up 34 yards 
and Troy Lee Jenkins added 
26.

Volleyball Preview Sees 
Five Strong Contenders 



Welcome to another year of 
sports with the Millsaps Maj- 
ors. The sports staff, Ben 
Mitchell, editor, and the rest 
of the gang will try to keep 
you up to date on the coming 
events as well as the results 
of all varsity and intramural 
contests. We will also be add- 
ing our two-bits on matters of 
sports interest. 

Comments from responsible 
students regarding sports 
events, comments appearing 
in this column, and articles 
in this section are invited by 
the staff. 

We hope to keep everyone 
up to date on the Majors, as 
that is our primary function. 
During the year, however, 
there will be a full schedule 
of intramural sports for stu- 
dent interest and participa- 
tion. These sports include vol- 
leyball and ping pong in the 
fall, with basketball, softball, 
tennis and track in the spring 
for the men. Coach Mont- 
gomery will also hold his in- 
vitational basketball tourna- 
ment again this year. The 
girls may participate in the 
sports of volleyball and ten- 
nis in the fall, and basketball, 
softball, tennis, and badmin- 
ton in the spring. 

The fall schedule for volley- 
ball should be announced this 
week, or will appear shortly. 
These will be issued along 
with other notices of impor- 
tance concerning intramurals. 

Looking back to the f i r s t 
game of the year we see the 
old familiar name in the loss 
column, but after last year I 
suppose we should be used to 
it. Never the less, the outlook 
is definitely brighter this 
year. Thanks to the new Dia- 
mond Anniversary Scholar- 
ships, which among other 
things provide for a certain 
degree of financial assistance 
in sports, Millsaps potential 
has been boosted. This year 
there are 26 men on football 
scholarships. Of these, 15 are 
from junior college, and have 
at least two years of playing 
experience under their belts. 
They are all talented as the 
Junior college circuit is a 
rugged one, and the players 
and schools participating nev- 
er get enough credit, but that 
is another story. 

My opinion, as well as that 
of some of the players, con- 
cerning the game with Austin 
is: first, the boys were just 
not "up" mentally for the 
opener, and second, they had 
not had enough experience 
playing together. Given stu- 
dent support and backing 
combined with a few more 
work outs they should be in 
fine shape. 

We have a veteran coach 
this year, at least he seems to 
have weathered the first year 
in fine shape. This is an ac- 
complishments in its self, as 
in the last six or seven years 
Millsaps has had no less than 
five head football coaches. I 
watched a practice session 
the other day and he really 
put the men through their 
paces. If we lose games its 



not because the players don't 
know the basic fundamentals 
or have not worked at 
practice. 

Now I would like to say 
something to each and every 
student on the Millsaps 
campus. School spirit is the 
responsibility of everyone. 
The players may do the run- 
ning on the field and take all 
the bumps, but the fans are 
just as important to the game 
as these players. Without sup- 
port from the students the 
players spirits drop. It is a lot 
easier to charge into that line 
when you know someone real- 
ly cares whether or not you 
get through and it is a lot 
easier to get up after being 
knocked down and run over 
for the hundredth time if you 
can hear someone cheering 
for you. If you don't believe 
me just ask any of the men 
on the team. Winning should 
be just as important to every 
student as to every ball play- 
er. Let's all go out to the 
games and yell for the boys; 
if you do, they will do their 
best to give you something 
to yell for. 



Did you know? The first 
home basketball game this 
season is December 1 against 
Huntingdon College in B u i e

The men's Intramural sea- 
son will be underway some- 
time next week with the be- 
ginning of volleyball action. 
Last year's competition ended 
in a tie, with Kappa Alpha 
and Kappa Sigma holding 
the top berths. Both are ex- 
pected to field strong teams 
again this year. 

Kappa Alpha will be rely- 
ing mostly on their four re- 
turning all-stars and other 
capable veterans. Back from 
last years team that lost only 
once, to the Sigs, are all-stars 
Scott Coffield, Ward Van Ski- 
ver, and Tommy Davis, while

Major 48. Tough, hard-hitting 
running by Massey, Bobbins, 
and Jenkins brought the 
Majors inside the Sewanee 15 
only to lose the ball on a fum- 
ble. The Majors showing real 
good defense held Johnson and

ger defense toughened when it 
was necessary. After stopping 
the Majors with a fourth and

brothers who are anxious to 
move in on some of the veter- 
ans. As a whole the team is 
expected to be improved over 
last year's with a good 
chance for a better record. 

The Kappa Sigs would like 
nothing better than to beat 
the K.A.'s after two straight 
years of deadlock. This year's 
team will be led by All-Stars 
Doug Green and George Wil- 
liamson, but will miss stal- 
warts like Paul Miller and 
Lee Lewis. The Kappa Sig 
pledge class will surely yield 
some outstanding performers 
to fill these vacancies. The 
Sigs should be tough to beat, 
as usual. 

The loss of standouts Joel 
Levi, Ricky Fortenberry, and 
Buddy Birdsong has definite- 
ly lessened the Lambda Chi 
Alpha's chances for a good 
year. Jerry Duck is the lone 
All-Star performer, but he will 
have strong support from vet- 
erans Frank Wells and Chuck 
Hallford. The Lambda Chi's 
are expecting a lot of help

According to Pike spark- 
plug Bill Lamb, the word to 
describe their team is inex-

transfer hurt the Pikes and 
the burden is expected to rest 
on Murf Evans and Jimmy

needed from the pledge class, 
but the Pikes' season will be 
made or broken by their in-

The Independent team un-

Stiano is always a force to be 
reckoned with. Last years 
team was extremely crippled 
by lack of participation and 
organization. If the Independ-

could have a real good year. 

It promises to be a very 
exciting season with five

Chemistry Study 
Now In Progress 

A Chemistry In-service In- 
stitute, designed to improve 
the backgrounds of teachers 
using or interested in using 
the new CHEM Study, ap- 
proach to the study and teach- 
ing of chemistry, is now in 
progress at Millsaps. 

The text which is the basis 
for this new approach is 
Chemistry, An Experimental 
Science. The Mississippi State 
Department of Education has 
adopted this as one of its 
tests in chemistry for the 
academic year 1965-1966. It is 
being used by two Jackson 
high schools. 

The institute, which is lim- 
ited to persons presently 
certified to teach chemistry 
in the Mississippi secondary 
schools and are presently em- 
ployed, is being financed 
through a National Science 
Foundation Grant. 

Twenty teachers are pres- 
ently attending the institute, 
though the grant provides 
money for thirty. No fees are 
being charged by the college 
and the participants have 
been given text books and 
educational materials. Travel 
expenses to and from the 
college are also being paid. 

The class, consisting of lec- 
tures, lab, and demonstra- 
tions, is currently meeting on 
Saturday morning from 9:00 
to 12:00. The teaching is being 
handled mainly by the staff 
of the Chemistry Department. 
Dr. C. E. Mansfield is the di- 
rector of the institute. 

Participants complet- 
ing both sessions will receive 
six semester hours credit in 
Chemistry from Millsaps.

State Linguists 

Any student who would like 
to take an occasional break 
from the English language 
and at the same time polish 
up on his French or Spanish 
conversational ability should 
take note. The French and 
Spanish tables will be re- 
served again this year in the 
northwest corner of the main

All interested linguists have 
been invited by Mr. William 
Baskin, head of the Language 
Department, to bring their 
lunch trays to this area at 
12:30 p.m. each Thursday. 
Language professors who will 
take turns meeting with the

Major Cage Squad 
Begins Workouts 



By CHRIS KELLY 

Monday, September 20, 
marked the beginning of what 
is probably the most intensive 
pre-season conditioning the 
basketball team has gone 
through in several years. 
Coach James A. Montgomery 
began putting his team to 
work with dual and individual 
isometrics, warm - up exer- 
cises, and cross-country run- 
ning over 2110 yards of the 
Millsaps Golf Course. 

The boys were divided into 
three groups with alternate 
groups wearing ankle weights. 
The groups rotated every few 
minutes exercising on the 
rope, with the medicine balls, 
the chin - up bar, the re- 
bounder, and various other 
conditioning devices. The re- 
bounder is one of the new 
pieces of equipment being 
used this year, and Manager 
Mike Staiano said the team 
was expecting to receive new 
uniforms later. 

Returning lettermen Doug 



Greene, Dick Lee, Hap Wheel- 
er, Ronnie Husband, and Bob- 
by Luckett were among the 
18 boys who showed up for the 
first afternoon of conditioning. 
The team will continue condi- 
tioning until October 15.

Construction To Begin 
On New Dormitories 



FRESHMEN CLASS OFFICERS — Chosen to lead the fresh- 
men class this semester are, from left, Gus Rushing:, president; 
Richard Bundy, vice-president; and Diane McLemore, secretary. 

Frosh Pick Rushing, 
Senators Selected 



By DARRELL BUSH 

Chosen in last week's elec- 
tion to lead the new fresh- 
man class were Gus Rush- 
ing, president; Richard Bun- 
dy, vice president; and Diane 
McLemore, secretary. 

Rushing, a Cleveland High 
School graduate, was presi- 
dent of his senior class, vice 
president of the National Hon- 
or Society and a member of 
the student council for 2 
years. Other honors include 
being chosen Mr. Cleveland 
High School and serving as 
captain of the football team. 

Miss McLemore, a KD 
pledge, was secretary of the 
student council, news editor 
of the paper and president of 
Y-Teens at Gulfport High 
School. Serving in numerous 
other capacities, Diane, also 
a member of the National 
Honor Society, was chosen to 
represent her school at the 
SCOPE conference last year. 

There was no additional in- 
formation available about Bun- 
dy who is from Gulfport. 

Also chosen in last week's 
elections were 4 student sena- 
tors -at-large. From a ballot of 
about 15 candidates the top 
four were Henry Chatham, a 
sophomore from Meridian; 
Jim Carroll, a junior from 
Hernando; Freddy Davis, a 
Jackson junior; and Paul 
Newsom of Macon, also a 
junior. 

Student senators were also 
elected among the Independ- 
ents — a representative from 
each dorm. These senators in- 
clude: Harriet Phillips, a 
freshman from Yazoo City, 
representing Founders Hall; 



Beverly Brooks, a Jackson 
freshman — Whitworth Hall; 
Darrell Bush, Jackson junior 
—Sanders Hall; and Helen 
Reid, Memphis sophomore — 
Franklin Hall. 

Among the boys were chosen 
Charles Varner, a junior from 
Louise — Burton Hall; James 
McWilliams, a Holly Ridge 
senior — Galloway Hall; and 
Prentiss Smith, a Union 
Church junior— Ezelle Hall. 

Also included in the Inde- 
pendents were Waverly Lyles, 
a senior from Pensacola, Fla. 
—the married students' repre- 
sentative and Dan Weems, a 
Biloxi senior— the commuter 
representative. 

Since some of the fra- 
ternities and sororities have 
not yet elected their represen- 
tatives, these will be an- 
nounced at a later date. 



By SHIRLEY CALDWELL 
PR OFFICER 

Construction will begin im- 
mediately on two new dormi- 
tories at Millsaps College 
which officials describe as a 
new concept of student hous- 
ing. Contracts were signed 
Friday. 

Designed by R. W. Naef and 
Associates, the modular type, 
air - conditioned dormitories 
will be ready for occupancy 
at the beginning of the 1966-67 
school year. They will house 
a total of 338 students. 

Officials said the dormi- 
tories had been designed with 
the express needs of college 
students in mind. The final 
plans are the result of study 
and a great deal of research 
by the architect, Dean of Stu- 
dents John Christmas, and 
Dean of Women Mrs. Henry 
Pate, in cooperation with 
groups of students who served 
as advisers. 

Described as "modular 
type" dormitories, the new 
buildings will be constructed 
in units which will each house 
sixteen students. A special 
feature in the Millsaps dormi- 
tories will be rooms that are 
designed for two students with 
a divider which will allow one 
student to study undisturbed 
while the other sleeps or en- 
tertains friends. 

The women's dormitory, 

Juniors, Seniors 
To Fill In Cards 

All juniors and seniors who 
have not yet filled out an ac- 
tivities card, have been asked 
to do so at once in the Stu- 
dent Personnel Office. These 
cards will be used by the var- 
ious honoraries for tapping 
purposes and by a student- 
faculty committee who will 
nominate candidates for 
Who's Who in American Col- 
leges and Universities. 



which will house 176 students, 
will be located to the west 
of the current women's com- 
plex. It will be divided into 
four three-story units. 

In addition to a large lobby 
for receiving guests, the dor- 
mitory will feature an infor- 
mal lounge for television 
viewing, a study room, a 
small kitchen unit, and an 
area for concession machines. 
A laundry room will be cen- 
tral to the units on each floor. 

In both men's and women's 
dormitories each room will be 
subdivided into a study-dress- 
ing area and a sleeping area. 

Each room will have its 
own heating and cooling con- 
trol. 

In the men's dormitory, 
which will be located near the 
North President Street exten- 



sion and will house 162 stu- 
dents, each unit will be a sep- 
arate entity and will contain 
its own individual facilities. 
Each unit will have a lounge, 
with a large lounge connected 
to the housemother's apart- 
ment, and concession ma- 
chines will be available. 

Both dormitories will con- 
tain apartments for house- 
mothers. 

The modular type dor- 
mitory has been researched 
and recommended recently on 
an international scale. 

Officials said that Millsaps 
dormitories were filled to ca- 
pacity this year. The new con- 
struction will allow an in- 
crease in enrollment of out- 
of-town and out-of-state stu- 
dents, as well as local students 
who wish to live on-campus. 



Freshmen ACT Scores 
In Top One Per Cent 



The average score of the 
1964-65 Millsaps College fresh- 
man class on the American 
College Test was in the top 
one per cent as compared 
with the average scores of all 
other freshmen classes of par- 
ticipating colleges. 

Three hundred twenty-nine 
colleges throughout the nation 
participated in the ACT pro- 
gram last year. The scores of 
the Millsaps students placed 
Millsaps among the top three 
of the 329, although exact po- 
sitioning was not revealed. 

Did you know? October 30 
will be the date of a college 
football doubleheader in Jack- 
son with LSU playing Ole 
Miss and Mississippi State 
meeting Alabama. 



Scores of some 150,000 stu- 
dents enrolled as freshmen at 
the colleges were ranked. 

Dr. Russell Levanway, 
chairman of the Millsaps psy- 
chology department, said that 
the mean score of Millsaps 
students was in the 99th per- 
centile both on the ACT and 
in terms of high school rec- 
ord. 

High school seniors taking 
the ACT are tested in Eng- 
lish mathematics and are giv- 
en reading tests in social stud- 
ies and the natural sciences. 
Grades are given in each of 
these areas. 

An acceptable ACT score is 
a requirement for admission 
to Millsaps. 

Statistics for the 1965-66 
freshman class have not yet 
been compiled. 



Scientists Pick Leader 



Academy Elects Mr. Bell President 



Rondal Bell, chairman of 
the Millsaps biology depart- 
ment, has assumed his duties 
as president-elect of the Mis- 
sissippi Academy of Sciences. 

Bell will serve as president- 
elect during the current year 
and as president in 1966-67. 

He was chairman of the 
Science Education Section of 
the Academy in 1963-64. He 
served as state director of the 
Outstanding Biology Teacher 
Award Program of the Nation- 
al Association of Biology 



Teachers in 1964 and will do 
so again in 1966. 

A member of the Millsaps 
faculty since 1960, he recent- 
ly obtained for the biology de- 
partment a $7,000 National 
Science Foundation grant for 
an undergraduate research 
participation program on the 
study of the disease polyarte- 
ritis nodosa. 

Bell is a member of the 
American Institute of Biolog- 
ical Sciences, the Society of 
Mammalogists, the National 



Association of Biology Teach- 
ers, Theta Nu Sigma science 
honorary, and Alpha Epsilon 
Delta premedical honorary. 

He is the author of 21 sew 
entific papers which have ap- 
peared in state, regional, and 
national journals. 

Biology majors at Millsaps 
compiled the most outstand- 
ing record in the history 
of the biology department last 
year. Average score of the 20 
seniors who took the Gradu- 



ate Record Examination in 
March ranked in the 85th per- 
centile nationally. One of the 
graduates scored in the 99th 
percentile, scoring 740. The 
highest score on the ranking 
chart is 720. Eleven of the 24 
students who took the G.R.E. 
this year scored in the 90th 
percentile or above, which 
means that they are included 
among the top ten per cent of 
all students taking the exam 
in the nation during 1965.

School Spirit Is Evident 



Don't know about you folks, but that 
Millsaps-Sewanee game the other week- 
end did something good to us inside. 
That muchly-battered concept — school 
spirit — welled up inside higher than — 
well, than since before the ol* high 
school superintendent handed us our 
diplomas and the band played "Pomp 
and Circumstances.' 1 

And now, as the Millsaps Band plays 
our "Fight Song", somebody seems to 
be taking notice! Swinging further into 
our '65 football season, it is these some- 
bodies to whom the Purple and White 
wishes to express its admiration and 
gratitude. 

Making football here more like the 
traditional American sport, the Band 
has stirred up long-latent enthusiasm. 
The cheerleaders— sparking the pep ral- 
ly and the game, making posters, and 
only Coach Monty and the cheerleaders 
know what all — also deserve extra spe- 
cial mention. 

Did you notice, too, the work of art 



between the goal posts? Yes, Zeta Tau 
Alpha contributed this sign for the Ma- 
jors' pre-game entrance. Perhaps other 
somebodies will make this possible 
precedent an established tradition. 

Pikes and Lambda Chi's also added to 
the general excitement with Go-Majors- 
type signs and banners. What a differ- 
ence a dozen or so more banners and 
signs at the next game would make! 

Anticipation of the barbecue and 
dance ... all of these factors served to 
heighten the spirit for the Majors, and 
to make that 19-0 score a win, not a 
loss. The outstanding teamwork of the 
football players, combined with this stu- 
dent participation, certainly has scored 
up one of the strongest victories on Mill- 
saps' record. 

So to all of you "somebodies" we ex- 
press a heartfelt thanks from the Purple 
and White, and from many of your con- 
temporaries. (And if we have omitted 
a major contributor, forgive please . . . 
we'll be on the lookout! )

Why Ban Hugh Hefner? 



(Editor's Note: The following editorial is reprinted 
from the College Profile, Hendrix College, Conway, 
Arkansas.) 

We think that in spite of the rapid 
growth of Hendrix in the past few 
years H. F. Buhler library has done 
as much as could be expected to keep 
up the standards of the college. There 
is one point, however, that we think 
could be improved. In browsing through 
the shelves of the magazine section, we 
have run across many publications, 
both popular and technical, but in all 
of our ramblings we have never run 
across a copy of one of the most popu- 



lar magazines in America, and certain- 
ly on the Hendrix campus, Playboy. 
Several times in the past there have 
been requests for this magazine, and 
every time the request was ignored or 
shelved in some other way. We are not 
trying to prove that Hendrix is "Vic- 
torian" or anything else. We do, how- 
ever think that a magazine of Playboy's 
calibre rates a place in the library. If 
there is no money for a subscription a 
collection might be taken. Such a popu- 
lar magazine should not be ignored. If 
we have others, why not Playboy? — 
H. M. L. 



Letter Criticises Policy 
Of Symposium Column 



Dear Sir: 

This letter concerns the 
Symposium column in your 
newspaper, written by Ronald 
Goodbread. 

For a starting point, let us 
consider Mr. Goodbread's in- 
sinuation that Gamma Gam- 
ma, the new Greek honorary, 
has as much purpose as hon- 
oring Geronimo with Indian 
citizenship or making Ross 
Barnett an honorary white 
man. This is completely false. 
Mr. Goodbread's error lies in 
his apparent ignorance on 
that quality called brother- 
hood — the tie that united a 
group of boys in brotherly 
love. To paraphrase the col 
umnists own analogy, then, 
Gamma Gamma is really like 
making Geronimo chief of the 
Indians, or Barnett governor 
of the white men. The fra- 
ternities quite understandably 
wish to honor their most re- 
spected brothers. 

Quite frankly, I am in doubt 
about Mr. Goodbread's under- 
standing of his position as a 
columnist. No legitimate 
newspaper column ever has 
as its sole purpose the expres- 
sion of one man's views. On 
the contrary, a column by 
rights should contain (1) 
Views or opinions which ap- 
peal in 



to the reading audience (i.e., 
which stimulate rational 
thinking); (2) facts or state- 
ments to support these opin- 
ions; and (3) interesting com- 
ment relative to the subject 
of the column. Mr. Good- 
bread's cup runneth over with 
the third item, but runneth 
not at all with the first two. 

Perhaps a reconsideration 
on his part, or on yours as an 
editor, would result in a bet- 
ter Symposium column. 
Sincerely, 
Alec Valentine

ball coach Harper Davis was

IDEAS 



AND 

OPINIONS 




by 

Shattuck 



It is a rare occasion when, 
in one newspaper, we have as 
many good things to report as 
in this issue. A few of these 
items merit some extra 
words. 

The scores recorded by this 
year's freshman class on 
their ACT tests given while in 
high school speak quite high- 
ly of M i 1 1 s a p s. An article 
elsewhere in this paper indi- 
cates that our freshmen rank 
in the upper one per-cent of 
the entire nation based on av- 
erage scores of this test. 

Millsaps annually attracts 
the "cream of the crop" and 
appears this year to have 
claimed a banner group. 

"Good thing" number two: 
Note the article in this week's 
paper regarding the plans for 
two new dormitories for 
which construction will start 
in the very near future. 

These dorms represent the 
epitome of comfort and should 
provide an excellent atmos- 
phere for s t u d y, recreation, 
and relaxation. This is yet an- 
other in a long series of signs 
indicating the progressive ad- 
ministration now at Millsaps. 

"Good thing" number 
three: an article on the front 
page announces the election 
of a Millsaps professor to the 
position of president of the 
Mississippi Academy of Sci- 
ences. To Mr. Bell we offer 
congratulations on behalf of 
this newspaper— this is quite 



an honor. 

Although we hope that there 
is other interesting reading in 
this issue of the P & W, we 
call your special attention to 
these articles because they in- 
dicate that perhaps we do 
have "something special" at 
Millsaps. 

Oh, yes, one other "good 
thing" — SYMPOSIUM this 
week probably is tame 
enough to avoid much of the 
controversy which has begun 
to weaken our hearing system 
of late, what with the number 
of comments we have re- 
ceived on the articles. We 
might add that 80 per cent of 
the remarks we've received 
have been favorable to 
the SYMPOSIUM column, but 
nevertheless we look forward 
to a week in which (we've 
got our fingers crossed) per- 
haps nobody will do any irate 
complaining. 



This note is primarily for 
our new staff members but 
may also answer a question 
in the minds of some other 
students — if you are a mem- 
ber of our staff and wonder if 
we know about you because 
you don't see your name on 
the staff listings below, do 
not worry: in time we'll get 
the complete listings compiled 
and your names will, indeed 
be in print. We might even 
erase our own name while 
making the addition! 



Millsaps Singers Select 
Music, Begin Practices 



By DARRELL BUSH 

The three Millsaps choirs 
are once again in full swing 
with lots of hard work ahead 
of them. 

Replacing Mr. Joseph 
Rawlins as director of the 
Chapel Choir this year is Mr. 
McCarrell Ayers. Mr. Ayers, 
a graduate of Eastman 
School of Music at Rochester 
University and the University 
of Indiana, stated that he is 
well pleased with his choir. 
He added, however, that he 
still needs more basses and 
tenors. 

The Madrigals, directed by 
Richard Alderson, began 
this year by attending choir 
retreat along with the Con- 
cert Choir. The retreat, held 
at Camp Bratton-Green, north 
of Canton, lasted two and one- 
half days, September 7-9. 



Mr. Alderson plans to have 
his group sing on Sunday 
nights at various churches in 
the Jackson area. The Madri- 
gals have been working on 
some material suited to give 
in high schools, which they 
plan to do later in the year. 

The Concert Choir, after 
putting three weeks worth of 
work into the 2Vfe days at 
choir retreat, came back to 
Jackson to give a short con- 
cert at Galloway Methodist 
Church. The audience consist- 
ed of Methodist ministers in 
the Mississippi and North 
Mississippi Conferences at- 
tending a special meeting 
called by the Bishop. 

Mr. Byler's plans for his 
choir are indefinite at present 
but they are working on a 
Schubert Mass which he 
would like to present before 
Christmas.

Afterthoughts On The Results And Effects Of Senatorial Races 



(EDITOR'S NOTE: The 
views expressed In the politi- 
cal column of the Purple and 
White, whether by Mr. Good- 
bread or by a guest columnist, 
are those of the columnist 
himself and do not necessarily 
reflect the opinions of the 
editor and staff of the 
P & W.) 

Edgar W. Howe once said, 
"The people are always worst- 
ed in an election." In the re- 
cent Senate election I'm sure 
that this was not the case. 
As we go to press, the run- 
off's for Freshman Class Of- 
ficers have not yet been held, 
and unfortunately I will have 
to limit my comments to only 
the Senate elections. But their 
say will come. 

This writer interviewed 
each of the Senators-elect 
and found them all quite un- 
communicative. I was not 
sure whether they actually 
didn't have anything to say, 
or whether they were loathe 
to provide a target for the 
poison pen. 

Paul Newsom said simply 
"No comment" to nearly ev- 
ery question, lost his temper 
once or twice afterward; Hen- 
ry Chatam appeared totally 
unprepared for a news con- 
ference (but I'm sure his abil- 
ity will sharpen with experi- 
ence); Freddy Davis skillful- 
ly fended off all attempts to 
press him into a corner, like 
the old professional politician 
that he is, and Jim Carroll 
told me in effect, "where to 
get off." 

Surely these gentlemen 
have the political bearing to 
maintain friendly relations 
with the press. Surely they 
don't think the SYMPOSIUM 
editor would turn their un- 
sure, unsteady, and uninspir- 
ing statements into a political 
albatross to be tied around 
their neck so tight that it will 
drag them down into the 
ignominious depths of political 
oblivion? Surely they don't 
think that! 

What type of men are these 
four Senators who represent 
the entire student body — fra- 
ternity, sorority and independ- 
ents alike? How important is 
their job? I really can't say- 
yet. But both the reader and 
the incumbants may rest as- 
sured that while this writer 
serves in his capacity as Par- 
liamentarian of the Senate, he 
will keep his notepad close at 
hand. This is not merely for 
their own benefit but for the 
well-being of all the Senators. 
We don't want them getting 
any kind of bad reputation for 
not doing their jobs in the 
Senate so we will just make 
sure that they are on their toes 
all the time. 

In much the same manner 
as the chicken walking down 
the middle of the road, I'm 
going to lay it on the line 
about these new Senators. 
They all have redeeming 
qualities but their combined 
experience in the Senate is 
one year; of that year Sena- 
tor Davis claims 365 days. 
But they will be expected to 
work as if they are hardened 
veterans. Let's take a look at 



observer did not feel any over- 
whelming surge of expect- 
ancy in the candidacy of Hen- 
ry Chatham. His campaign 
was launched too early, had 
no glamour at all, was slow, 
hampered, lost under the tons 
of campaign literature, and 
had, by all political stand- 
ards, no chance whatsoever 
of succeeding. Probably what 
did it for him was that KA 
pledge pin he has recent- 
ly started wearing. Too many 
independents didn't know he 
had pledged— but the KA's 
did! 

About the only thing I am 
qualified to say about Senator 
Chatham's political acumen 
is that the Independents wave 
lost a good third baseman to 
the KA's this year. But there 
is one thing I failed to figure 
in his campaign, and that 
was the desire to win. He had 
it. And now he's got it. 

Running on a "States 
Rights, Racial Integrity" plat- 
form, I cannot say that Paul 
Newsom had my full support. 
Again, I was wrong about his 
chances to win. Newsom has 
too much of the KA air about 
him; he can act as foolish as 
the ordinary Joe College but 
those swift and cutting eyes 
of his will always tell you 
that he is dead serious when 
someone has degraded some- 
thing he holds sacred. 

Since the first day I met 
him when we came here as 
freshmen, I have taken care- 
ful pains to stay on his good 
side and I am proud to say 
that not only have I done that 
but I have also become his 



good friend. Here you will 
have a Senator who will be 
always at the center of 
things; here you have a man 
of action; in Paul Newsom 
you have the catalyst that 
may entirely change the Sen- 
ate atmosphere this year. I 
look forward to working with 
him. 

What can one say of the old 
battle->scajTed veteran Fred- 
dy Davis. Few (if any) ob- 
servers felt that he had to do 
more than put his name on the 
ballot (and show his plaque) 
to win. Recovering from an 
upset defeat in the race for 
Vice - President Duck's job 
last year, the Senator came 
through with a smash- 
ing 60.7% victory in a cam- 
paign in which he did little 
more than turn in his letter 
of candidacy. 

There is something about 
Freddy Davis that makes 
him acceptable to all voters. 
He calls it "desire and abili- 
ty"— I call it the best politick- 
ing of the entire campaign. 
Though this writer may doubt 
the real value of a few of 
his contributions in the Sen- 
ate last year, I do not doubt 
the value of his service. 

There can be no doubt that 
in Fred Davis, this student 
body has, for one time, any- 
way, elected a man who is 
completely capable of the job 
he has won and worthy of 
the confidence bestowed upon 
him. Senator Davis is not by 
any means doomed to the life 
of a Senator — even the most 
outstanding one of them all. 



Senator Jim Carroll came 
out from the political oblivion 
that two former unsuccessful 
campaigns had condemned 
him to and pulled an upset 
victory. No one thought that 
he had a chance to win as 
those in the Elections Com- 
mittee were drawing close to 
the end of the counting. Yet 
when the results came in one 
by one from the tally sheets, 
Carroll pulled up steadily and 
passed three other candidates 
who might have won other- 
wise. 

It was only the night be- 
fore the election that he an- 
nounced his candidacy and 
then only after urging by the 
Vice - President (his trusted 
political friend) and some of 
his close confidents. Although 
expressing the opinion that he 
could not win, he campaigned 
vigoriously. Over in that cam- 
paign he exhibited the charm 
that has taken until this year 
for him to perfect in public. 

He can put on the shy, lit- 
tle boy grin of his and cut 
his blue eyes to the un- 
suspecting young freshman 
girl or he can put a stone 
tics with any man on campus 
I have seen him in debate 
with that country lawyer style 
of his, mixed with those city 
slicker clothes he wears. I 
have seen him exhibit a 
persuasion equalled by few I 
have been associated with on 
that circuit. 

It is a soft persuasion, but 
I have seen it explode into 
a Teddy Roosevelt— Theo Bil- 
bo mixture of thunder and 
eloquence until he at last 



comes down on his opposition 
like the proverbial bat out of 
hell and levels that pointing, 
accusing finger of his with as 
much menace as a man 
brandishing the barrel of a 
shotgun. 

It is only a small part of a 
complex man who can be as 
loyal to his friends as he is 
treacherous to his enemies. 
And 1 might warn his ene- 
mies, that now that he is 
elected, now that he has a 
political base from which he 
can and will make a tremen- 
dous career-look out! And I 
might add as a cry factor in 
his victory, the maxim of 
Somerset Maugham when he 
said, "The greatest asset a 
politician can have is a 
blameless record as far as 
women are concerned." 

I have said good things 
about good men. This is only 
reasonable. To them I wish 
the best of luck. But there 
are those who would be disap- 
pointed if I didn't crucify 
someone on the SYMPOSIUM 
Column. 

But who is there? Everyone 
has behaved himself in the 
last week! What a shame. Yet 
lest I be branded for being 
overly complementary to the 
KA's or the Senators, I would 
invoke upon you the patriotic 
fervor inscribed forever in 
the lines of F. Scott Fitz- 
gerald's poetry as my genuine 
feelings about the outcome of 
the election: 

Breathes there a man with 

Soul so dead 
Who never to himself, hath 

said, 
"Not bad!"

Boosts Fight Song? 
To Support Majors 



Band Reorganizes; 
Sets World Record 



By EMILY COMPTON 

"Go forward, Millsaps, on 
to victory 

And win another time! 

Go forward, Millsaps, and 
we'll show them how 

Those Majors hold that 
Line! (Fight! Fight!) 

And as we fight for Purple 
and for White 

And as we give our all, 

We'll tell the world we 
stand unyielding, 

And we'll never fall! 
(Fight! Fight!) 

Now you don't have an ex- 
cuse for not knowing the 
words to the Millsaps Fight 
Song! Just cut out the above 
and memorize, digest, devour, 
learn those words now ! ! 
Next time we (or any of our 
friends in purple outfits) see 
you we may ask you to sing 
the Fight Song for us! (The 
moral of this is to beware of 
the eight little girls in purple 
suits!!) 

Seriously, we hope that you 
were in the large crowd that 
attended the Millsaps — Se- 
wanee game Saturday, Sep- 
tember 25. The spirit was 
great and the Majors did a 



fine job on the field! Special 
thanks go to the Zeta Tau 
Alphas who made the "Go 
Majors" sign that stretched 
between the goal post. 

We wish the Majors the best 
luck against Georgetown this 
week-end! Be sure to go see 
them off Friday night at 
10:00 at the Jackson airport! 
Just hope that Coach doesn't 
check into those equipment 
bags too closely! 

Congratulations to the 
pledge class officers! Officers 
of the Chi Omega pledge class 
are Jebby Burleson, presi- 
dent; Carolyn Wiggers, vice- 
president; Zoe Andrews, sec- 
retary; and Gayle Kastorff, 
treasurer. Leading the Kappa 
Delta pledge class are Tootie 
Sims, president; M e 1 i n d a 
Glassco, vice-president; Caro- 
lyn Meachum, secretary; and 
Sarah Ann Knox, treasurer. 

Phi Mu pledge class offi- 
cers are Diane Leggett, pres- 
ident; Linda Bowman, vice-

officers of the Zeta Tau Alpha 
pledge class are Dianna Car- 



penter, president; Mary Lain 
Mills, vice-president; Sharon 
Dascomb, secretary ; and Lin- 
da Sheppard, treasurer. 

The members of Zeta Tau 
Alpha are havin an open 
house Sunday, October 10. Ev- 
eryone is invited to come 
have a "look-see" at their 
new house of which they are 
quite proud! 

Last week - end being an 
open week-end was quite a 
busy one on the social cal- 
endar. Friday October 1, the 
Lambda Chi Alphas had a 
party. (That's all we could 
find out as of the Wednesday 
before the Friday when this 
column was written. Confus-

what we go through to find

Millsaps Debate Team 
Announces Plans, Trips 



By HENRY CHATHAM 

Sojourning to its first tour- 
nament in late October, the 
Millsaps debate team is under 
the direction of Mr. O. 
E. Hooker, this year. The na- 
tional topic concerns the in- 
vestigation and prosecution of 
crime. 

Returning varsity debaters 
Paul Newsom, Jim Carroll, 
Ronald Goodbread, Kathleen 
Scott, and Lee Makamson 
are backed up by newcom- 
ers Mary Ann McDonald, Ed 
Schwartz, Tim Carroll, and 
Larry Brooks. 

These nine will be arguing 
the statement, 1 1 Resolved : 
that law enforcement agen- 
cies should be given greater 
freedom in the prosecution of 
crime." 

Some ten to fifteen trips 
are planned, possibly includ- 
ing a sentimental journey to 



the University of North Caro- 
lina where Mr. Edward Col- 
lins, former degate coach at 
Millsaps, is currently on the 
faculty. 

In addition to competition 
at Berry College in Georgia 
and Alabama College, the 
highly-acclaimed Millsaps In- 
vitational Debate Tournament 
will be held the second week 
in January- 
Prospects for the men's 
teams are excellent with 
fierce competition expected 
for v a r s i t y positions. How- 
ever, the distaff size is lack- 
ing number, and at least two 
more good female debat- 
ers are needed. 

Mr. Hooker invites all inter- 
ested persons to come out for 
debate. At least 13 debaters 
are needed — the squad meets 
two days a week for one 
hour's extracurricular credit.

Guest Columnist Offers 
Of Movie, "Zorba The 



Review 
Greek" 



By GARY CARSON 

"Zorba the Greek" is a 
beautiful and moving tale. It 
speaks of man and his ulti- 
mate dilemma, but it speaks, 
too, of the triumph of the indi- 
vidual human spirit. 

It is good, you say, but 
why? The mingling of plot, 
character, and setting is near- 
ly perfect, and the acting is, 
in short, superb. There is 
something for everyone here, 
for there is love and hate; 
tenderness and violence; 
blood and beauty. There is 
even a richness of symbolism 
for the literary dilettante. 
Yet, "Zorba the Greek" is 
more than a special kind of 
smorgasbord; it is an entity 



called art. 

Zorba is, of course, the 
common denominator in all of 
this, and he is a curious man. 
Call him old, a savage, or 'not 
quite the kind I would like to 
know socially, 1 as someone 
said of Faulkner's characters. 
But still, it must be granted 
that he is strong and magnet- 
ic. 

Zorba' s world is a harsh 
one, the rugged land of Crete 
and its equally rugged peo- 
ple; it is a world which will 
allow no weakness. But, the 
Greek is at no disadvantage 
here, for he is not a weak 
man. Zorba has a sense of 
strength and defiance, for he 
shouts at the mountain, " You

JACKSON'S MOST COMPLETE MUSIC STORE 
Is eager to serve YOU. Call 366-9073 or go by 
2708 North State, For All Of 
YOUR MUSIC NEEDS 



bastard mountain, I will eat 
your guts." 

At times, his world seems 
paradoxical and unfeeling. 
The young widow is killed be- 
cause she loved, and the 
cheerful madame can not be 
buried by the church because 
she crossed herself with four 
fingers instead of two. If Zor- 
ba has a sense of his strength, 
then he also realizes his limi- 
tations. With this understand- 
ing of life, he is able to face 
stoically the cruelty of the 
people of Crete. 

An important theme in 
"Zorba the Greek" is the 
plight of the sensitive man 
(the young writer in the 
movie) in a cruel and unfeel- 
ing society. But Zorba will 
neither whimper nor philoso- 
phize. He says of mankind, 
"I spit on their agony." And 
he has a special remedy when 
life crowds him in too tight 
a corner. "When I am full," 
says Zorba, "I dance."

In this issue "Silhouette" 
will not concern a blackened 
figure, but a clean-cut profile 
of freshmen spirit and activi- 
ties. 

Correspondence: It is not often 
that this writer includes ex- 
cerpts from personal letters; 
however, I did receive one 
which merits the undivid- 
ed attention of all interested 
freshmen. 

Malcolm Baird, freshman at 
Vanderbilt University, wrote 
a letter in which he described 
frosh activities at the begin- 
ning of school. Mr. Baird 
writes, "We were supposed to 
get the word tonight about our 
having to wear rat caps, but 
we took over the campus ra- 
dio station, kidnapped the 
school mascot (a hound dog 
named "George") and some- 
body hand-cuffed himself to 
Mr. Commodore (a guy in uni- 
form who leads the pep ral- 
lies) and forced the upper- 
classmen to dispense with rat 
cap wearing requirements." 

Mr. Baird has no doubt 
penned a somewhat exagger- 
ated account of Freshmen 



mischief at Vandy, but what- 
ever portion of his account is 
fact and whatever part fic- 
tion is for him to know and 
for us to find out (the same 
apparent attitude of a rapid- 
lecturing professor). 

After stating that Com- 
modore freshmen "forced the 
upperclassmen to dispense 
with rat cap wearing re- 
quirements," he asked if I 
were getting any hair. Well, 
this columnist is as proud of 
his lavender beanie as the 
next fellow, but I have yet to 
find any vivacity at Millsaps 
comparable to that at Vander- 
bilt. 

This writer does not sug- 
gest a "Cain Mutiny" as un- 
doubtedly took place at Van- 
derbilt, but does ask that Mill- 
saps freshmen examine close- 
ly their grand entrance into 
the wild and wooly world of 
wine, women and studies. 

I make no reference to the 
excellent orientation program 
headed by Sherry Monk and 
Jerry Duck. It is suggested, 
however, that Freshman Day 
and the extent of spirited par- 
ticipation at football games 
were far from par 265 and 
do merit a few words of rec- 
ommendation. 

A college need not be com- 
pared in spirit to a university, 
but the aforementioned analo- 
gy was intended merely as 
"food for thought" which is 
seldom digested. Neverthe- 
less, spirit and freshmen ac- 
tivities are added to "Silhou- 
ette's" September menu. 



Major Center Position Held Down 
By Gus Rushing, Tommy McDamel 



By CHRISTOPHER KELLEY 

The Millsaps College Ma- 
jors are fortunate this year 
to have two very able cen- 
ters on the football squad. 

Tommy McDaniels, a 5'11", 
185 lbs. sophomore from Co- 
lumbia, is presently playing 
first team center for the Ma- 
jors. Tommy is a converted 
guard who lettered two years 
at Columbia High School, re- 
ceiving honorable mention on 
the All Big Eight Team. Be- 
fore coming to Millsaps, he 
played for one year at Pearl 
River Junior College. Tommy 
has played baseball at Mill- 
saps and is a member of Kap- 
pa Sigma Fraternity. 

The Majors' alternate cen- 
ter is Gus Rushing, a fresh- 
man from Cleveland. At 5'H" 
195 lbs., he lettered four years 
in football, made the All Del- 
ta Valley Conference Team, 
was selected the most out- 
standing lineman, and served 
as captain of the Cleveland 
High School team. Gush also 
lettered two years playing

saps basketball team will play

baseball. 

Coach Ranager is proud of 
the performances of both 
boys. McDaniels is doing a 
"terrific job blocking," and 
movies of the Sewanee game 
show he blocked his man 90% 
of the time. Gus has been 
used primarily as a defensive 
linebacker, and Coach Rana- 
ger is pleased with the 
"young, upcoming" freshman.

Little Brown Keg 
Won Again By 
Sigma Actives 

By TALLY KELLEY 

Sunday afternoon, Septem- 
ber 22, at Alumni Field the 
Kappa Sigma pledges chal- 
lenged the Kappa Sigma 
Actives to the twenty - third 
annual pledge vs. active foot- 
ball game, and for the twen- 
ty - third consecutive year, 
the actives retained the cov- 
eted Little Brown Keg. 

Overcast skies and comfort- 
able racks kept a few actives 
from the game, but the pledg- 
es turned out in full force. 
The actives divided into two 
teams: the players and the 
referees. 

Receiving the kick-off, the 
actives returned the ball up- 
field with the help of 3 con- 
secutive penalities against 
the pledges. The superb de- 
fense of the pledges con- 
tained the actives and the 
surging pledge offense scored 
early in the first quarter. The 
actives retaliated in the sec- 
ond quarter, tightening their 
line and supplementing refer- 
ees. At the end of the half, 
the actives led by a score of 
13-6. 

The second half saw the ac- 
tives dominating the action. 
Demonstrating his two-hand- 
touch form, active Ben Nich- 
ols sent pledge quarterback 
Richard Bundy to the ground 
more than once. Ben "the 
Beard" Mitchell did a fine 
job confusing both teams with 
his sideline pass patterns. 
Other stand-outs for the ac- 
tives were Jerry Harris, Ray- 
mond Jones, Doug Greene 
(referee), George Williamson, 
Roger Lowery, Reid Bingham 
(referee) and Alec Valentine, 
who stood out on the sidelines 
the whole game. 

The pledge team, reminded 
that they must report to the 
house that night, refused to 
be outstanding and submitted 
gamely to the actives 25-12.

The Millsaps Majors play 
the first of three straight road 
games as they travel to 
Georgetown, Kentucky for 
Saturday's game with George- 
town College. Georgetown has 
an enrollment of 1300 students 
and football team that is un- 
defeated in two games. The 
Majors will be the third team 
to face the Kentuckians who 
have recorded victories over 
Franklin and Hanover. 

Georgetown coach Lester 
Croft has twenty-five return- 
ing lettermen from last 
year's team that won four and 
lost four. Depth and experi- 
ence are two factors that 
have contributed to the 
team's successsofor this 
year. For the first time in his 
six years at Georgetown, 
Coach Croft does not have any 
freshmen on either of his 
starting units. 

The backfield, especially at 
the quarterback slot, is well 
supplied with experienced per- 
formers. Croft can call on any 
one of his three qualified sig- 
nal rollers to lead the team 
on the ground or in the air. 

The guard slot seems to be 
the strongest spot in the 
Georgetown line. The return 
of all of last year's guards 
gives both experience and 
depth to this position. Lack- 
ing only depth at the offensive 
and position, the Georgetown 
line is definitely well manned. 



Power plays are especially 
effective for Georgetown, but 
they can pass. They utilize the 
run option quite frequently as 
well as the pro-set type of- 
fense. In two games this of- 
fense has produced 41 points 
which the defense has held 
the opponents to 6 points. 

The Majors have had two 
weeks to prepare for this 
game and are expected to be 
at full strength. It promises 
to be our best game to date 
and possibly our first victory 
in about two years. I will ven- 
ture a prediction: Millsaps 13, 
Georgetown 0.

Alumni Honor "Pop" King, 
Founder Of Millsaps Singers 



By HELEN PERRY 

Prior to his departure on 
Saturday for a retirement 
home in Hesston, Kansas, Dr. 
Alvin Jon "Pop" King, emeri- 
tus director of choral music 
at Millsaps, was honored Sept. 
26 at an open house in the 
Student Center. 

The open house was given 
by the Millsaps Alumni As- 
sociation. 

Shortly after joining the 



Millsaps faculty as director of 
choral music, Dr. King organ- 
ized the Singers in 1935 and 
directed the a cappella choir 
until his retirement in 1956. 
He directed choral music in 
the Jackson public schools for 
more than 25 years. 

An outstanding Mississippi- 
an, he was chosen in 1953 by 
the Jackson Exchange Club 
as the first winner of the 
Golden Deeds Award, pre-

Congratulations to the new

Congratulation also to Bon-

certainly not ours!

favorites as "In 1865," "KA

sented annually to a commu- 
nity leader. His choral work 
has been termed "one of the 
greatest influences for the de- 
velopment of music apprecia- 
tion and the building of char- 
acter in youth the state has 
ever known." 

A native of Ohio, Dr. King 
came to Jackson in 1926 to 
instruct choral music in the 
public schools. He introduced 
the city to the Feast of Carols, 
now a traditional Christmas 
celebration. 

For the past few years, he 
has lived in Ridgeland. He 
will live near a favorite cous- 
in in Hesston. 

Speaking of this well-loved 
Mississippian, James J. Live- 
say, director of alumni and 
public relations, says: "I got 
to know Pop when I was in 
his choir here at Millsaps. He 
has always had the ability to 
get through to people, be- 
cause he has deep interest in 
every human being. His life 
has been one of unselfish 
service to others." 

Mr. Livesay adds, "Pop 
told me that he doesn't want 
to be too presumptous, but 
that after he gets settled in 
the retirement home, he 
wants to play hymns on the 
piano in order to decide who 
has a good voice and who 
doesn't. He says that then 
maybe he will form a chorus 
and they will invite the towns- 
people out for a Feast of Car- 
ols there." 

"Pop's creativity, his love 
for people, and his desire to 
use his talents for as long as 
he is able were shown," says 
Mr. Livesay, "by these re- 
marks of his."

Sunday in his honor. Standing behind the honoree are, from

New Senate Group 
Holds First Meet 



Please pardon the small pa- 
per this week, and also the 
lack of spicy editorial ideas. 
Your editor has had the same 
problem facing many students 
of late: a first-class cold 
which, at this writing, feels 
more like pneumonia. Any- 
way, since we are publishing 
a larger regular paper this 
year than previously, we 
thought we'd better spend 
more time recuperating and, 
at the same time, allow stu- 
dents an opportunity to obtain 
a paper of the size distributed 
regularly a few years back. 

* * • ♦ 

We don't know how many 
students share this opinion, 
but we sure wish the Millsaps 
grill would stay open a little 
later on Friday and/or Satur- 
day nights, at least when there 
is either a high school or col- 
lege football game in town. 

This week, for example, 
finds Murrah and Central 
playing football at Newell 
Field across from the campus 
tonight and quite a number 
of Millsaps students will be 
attending that contest. To- 
morrow night, Provine plays 
a home game. 

The high school games 
usually end shortly before ten, 
and dozens of students and 
non-students walk right past 
the grill just as the doors are 
being locked. And, never is a 
college grill a more welcome 
sight than immediately follow- 
ing a football game. Many 
people park on the campus, 
thus are in the area. 

The same will hold true 
Saturday night when 0 1 e 
Miss and Tulane play at Mis- 
sissippi Memorial Stadium. 
The Millsaps grill could prob- 
ably do enough business fol 
lowing that game to merit 
staying open an extra hour or 
so. 

We certainly think it is 
worth a try for the grill to 
stay open perhaps until 11 p. 
m. on Friday or Saturday 
nights, at least when there is 
a football game in town. We 
believe that such an action 

would pay for itself. 

* * * * 

We think it is a real shame 
that the Millsaps cheerleaders 
are not allowed to attend all 
of the football contests out of 
town, compliments of the 
school athletic budget. The 
cheerleaders are a vital part 
of our athletic program and 
add a lot to every game. We 
think it only fair that they 
officially attend as a group 
each of the Majors' road 
games.

Present plans do not include 
a Homecoming dance, but 
senators discussed the possi- 
bility of having one. The ques- 
tion of whether there would

I- Attorney General Speaks 



Patterson Talks On Constitutional Rights 



PR RELEASE 

State Attorney General Joe 
Patterson told Millsaps Col- 
lege students Thursday morn- 
ing that a mob is a mob, 
whether led by a leader of the 
Ku Klux Klan or by Martin 
Luther King. 

"I do not condemn one and 
condone the other," he said. 
"They are both equally 
guilty." 

Patterson was the speaker 
at the regular Thursday 
morning chapel program at- 
tended by Millsaps students 
and faculty members. His 
topic was "The Constitutional 
Rights of Law-Abiding Socie- 
ty versus the Constitutional 



Rights of the Law Violaters." 

"A mob cannot be justified 
in the name of civil rights, 
freedom, or Constitutional 
rights," he said. "It defies 
constituted authority, law, 
and order." 

Constitutional rights do not 
give citizens the right to form 
a mob to take over the streets 
in order that the mob may ex- 
ercise its Constitutional 
rights, he stated, admitting 
that in his views he is out of 
step with modern criminolo- 
gists, sociologists, and legisla- 
tors. 

Patterson told the students 
that every Constitutional 
guarantee carries with it a 



corresponding obligation to 
respect the Constitutional 
rights of others and an abid- 
ing obligation to be a law- 
abiding citizen. 

"Do not the rights of law- 
abiders transcend those of a 
mob led by professional agi- 
tators?" he asked. 

He pictured law enforce- 
ment officers as objects of at- 
tack by law - breakers and 
Communists, which he said 
was expected, "but," he con- 
tinued, "we do not expect 
such treatment from the 
highest courts of the land." 
The courts, he stated, have 
made the job of law-enforce- 
ment officers virtually impos- 



sible through decisions which 
have eliminated the effective- 
ness of confessions. 

"The American public 
spends millions to enforce the 
law, but the state must pro- 
vide the best of counsel, the 
strongest witnesses, all with- 
out cost to the law-break- 
ers," he said. He blamed an 
apathetic public which 
sympathizes with the crimi- 
nal. 

Patterson is one of a series 
of speakers designed to give 
Millsaps what President Ben- 
jamin B. Graves described as 
"the best one-hour, non-credit 
course on the campus."

Letter Criticizes Speaker 
Before Chapel Assembly 



Dear Editor: 

The philosophy of the chap- 
el program has been, I un- 
derstand, to accord speakers 
freedom of speech and ex- 
pression, while we, the stu- 
dents, submit willingly to 
compulsory attendance. The 
matter I pose, though, bears 
on the assumption of some 
responsibility by the admin- 
istration and the speaker to 
not take license with this lib- 
erty. 

This Thursday in chapel the 
Attorney General of Mississip- 
pi addressed the student 
body, presenting his opinions 
and politics in the manner to 
which any Mississippi boy is 
repeatedly subjected, and as 
before, no one now takes op- 
position with his right to be 
heard. What I do oppose is 
the extreme discourtesy 
to which some of our students 
were subjected. The Attorney 



General implied that these 
students were here on some 
nefarious motive; I believe 
the language used was "in- 
filtrated" and this was spiced 
with "Communist" to suggest 
that Millsaps is now a goal of 
the Communist Conspiracy & 
certain students are agents in 
achieving this goal. I was ap- 
palled that people were sub- 
mitted to such an attack — not 
able to defend themselves, 
and having to simply sit and 
"take it". To add to this 
came the overwhelming ap- 
plause of fellow students at 
the conclusion. How can the 
college demand that a student 
must attend a chapel pro- 
gram and then publicly attack 
and humiliate him? 

Scholastically Millsaps may 
be 35th. in the nation, but in 
reality we don't stand very 
high at all.

If Not For Honor . . . I'd Rather Walk 



By RONALD GOODBREAD 
Political Editor 

Senator Davis took his hon- 
ored position on the front row, 
as the senior senator. Senator 
Chatham was absent. The 
Founder's Hall representative 
was hopelessly stuck back in 
the dormitory with a skin 
rash. You could pick the eight 
KA's out as if they were lab- 
elled. W. C. Fields temporari- 
ly represented a Pike Chapter 
that was tardy in holding its 
elections. The Editor of the 
P&W was understandably de- 
voting his time to putting out 
a newspaper. Jeanne Burnet 
was there as the symbol of 
continuity and confidence in 
the success of our governmen- 
tal system. All in all it was a 
pretty impressive affair, the 
first meeting of the Senate on 
Tuesday last. 

President Adams immedi- 
ately took the leadership with- 
out any hesitancy and issued 
both statements and precend- 
ents. He was very impressive 
as he mastered the Senate 
with a firm, but kind and 
guiding hand. Vice-President 
Duck had an air of pride about 
him as he looked over the 
Senate that was the results of 
his own work and that of his 
Elections Committee. 

Polly Dement displayed the 



bearing of confidence that 
won her the position she holds. 
She almost personfies the pro- 
verbial ^fiscal responsibility." 
It is becoming apparent both 
from her and her predecessor 
that a precedent is being set 
which not only requires that 
the treasurer be female (they 
can add and count, you know) 
but that she must also be very 
pretty. 

If you have never beheM the 
sight of a student government 
that looks the part and radi- 
ates success then you should 
pay a visit to the Senate next 
Tuesday; it is an outstanding 
body. It is truly representa- 
tive of Millsaps College and 
its student body. If you are 
not easily impressed, then it 
might behoove you to be like 
Mother Goose and take a 
gander. 

Breaking it down by sexes, 
there are 22 men and 13 wom- 
en in the Senate. Although I 
think it would be better (safer 
anyway) to have a two-to-one 
ratio, this will suffice. On the 
men's side the campus is ably 
represented in the following 
denominations : KA , eight ; 
GDI, seven; KS, three; LXA, 
three; PKA, one. 

As for the women, they are 
scattered about in the follow- 
ing proportions: XO, three;

PM, three; GDI, three; KD,

These are divided by their 
membership in the social 
groups on campus, not by 
what or whom they represent. 
I think this is an interesting 
assortment that space will not 
permit me to discuss at this 
time. But someday soon, per- 
haps. 

A former candidate for high 
office (whose opinions I re- 
gard very highly) told me 
recently, "I don't think there's 
much use for a student gov- 
ernment if there's nothing 
here for it to do." Of course 
he is entitled to his opinion, 
but at this point I would dis- 
agree with him. 

The value of this Senate is 
not in what there is for it to 
do at this time, but rather in 
what it can do. With the out- 
standing group that we have 
here assembled there is no 
phase of campus life that now 
remains uneffected by the de- 
cisions and actions of this 
year's student government if 
the occasion called for it. I 
am very proud of this Senate. 
I think the Administration is 
too. 

The Senate is secure. I wish 
some other things were as 
well off. At this time I would 
like to take an opportunity to 
thank those millions of our 
faithful readers who have tak- 
en the time to correct us on 
the several mistakes and mis- 
statements we have made in 
SYMPOSIUM. As I so point- 
edly learned from Mrs. Mc- 
Mullan's lecture to Senior 
Seminar last Wednesday, a 
writer owes one of his great- 
est debts to his critics. 

It is said that during h i s 
second year in office, the late 
President Kennedy said,

How to begin this column 
is a question that torments us 
each Wednesday (occasional- 
ly Thursday when we are be- 
hind schedule) about this 
time! Actually we have so 
many ideas that we just can't 
decide which opening to use- 
so we'll take the advice of 
the gatekeeper in "The Wiz- 
ard of Oz" and begin at the 
beginning and "follow the yel- 
low brick road!" 

Speaking of yeilowbrick 
roads, just take a look at what 
used to be the yeilowbrick 
road in front of Franklin 
Dormitory! Gone are the side- 
walks, streetlamps, even a 
gas pipe, trees, grass, bushes! 
Girls don't have to worry 
about little men jumping out 
of the bushes anymore — a 1 1 
they have to watch out for is 
a bulldozer backing up the 
hill at thirty miles an hour! 

Seriously speaking, and 
when we speak seriously it's 
usually about affairs of the 
heart, we'd like to congratu- 
late the couples who recently 
got dropped! Congratulations 
to Jeanne Burnett, senior Phi 
Mu from Jackson, and Bobby 
Luckett, senior Kappa Sig 
from Lorette, Kentucky; to 
Mary Margaret Boyles, soph- 
omore KD from Laurel, and 
Ed Morrison, freshman Kappa 
Sig from Laurel. 

Last Thursday marked the 
beginning of the pledge swaps 
between the fraternities and 
sororities! (Actually we feel 
that the actives get in on a 
good bit of all that "swap- 
ping"). The Chi Omegas and 
the Kappa Deltas visited the 
Kappa Alpha and Lambda 
Chi Alpha houses while the 
Kappa Sigmas and the Pi 
Kappa Alphas hosted the Phi 
Mus and the Zeta Tau Alphas. 
Climaxing the big night, the 
cheerleaders had a big "Beat 
Georgetown" pep rally in 
front of the grill.

like to put in an encouraging 
word or paragraph about go- 
ing to the Southwestern game 
this weekend! We hope you 
are going whether by car or 
bus, plane, or walking be- 
cause it's going to be great! 
The Majors deserve your sup- 
port and we certainly ought 
to do our very best to give it 
to them! See you at the 
game! 

Today we witnessed a very 
unusual sight. A tall, young 
man wearing a white shirt, 
black tie, a black suit, and 
black-frammed glasses was 
seen removing an American 
flag (large size) from a car 
of unrecognized (by us) 
model. The shocking part was 
that it was raining — and thus 
the flag should have been left 
in shelter. 

Can we let this injustice 
and mockery to our flag go 
unnoticed or unavenged? No, 
we must stand firm— thus we 
move for the impeachment of 
Ronald Goodbread, our dis- 
tinguished and infamous Sym- 
posium Editor. 

Last weekend was rather 
quiet on the Millsaps campus 
(except for those bulldozers, 
etc.) Many students journeyed 
to the Ole Miss and State cam- 
puses for homecoming. Too 
bad they were both on the 
same weekend! 

As promised last week, here 
are the lists of the fraternity 
pledge classes: 



Kappa Alpha — president, 
Bruce Stafford; vice - presi- 
dent, Pat Amos; secretary- 
treasurer, Kelsey Van Every; 
sargent-at-arms, Ted Weller.

ligion Speaks to the Egg-

"To many", said Mr. Hook-

ar is a contradiction of terms. 
One can either be religious or 
be a scholar but not both. 
Jesus, speaking to an egg- 
head lawyer, said the great- 
est commandment of all is to 
love God. 

"Religion makes three de- 
mands of the egghead: (1) 
Stop before conforming; (2) 
Look before becoming too 
comfortable; (3) Listen be- 
fore compromising." 

Mr. Hooker spoke of Bonn- 
haefeur, a German theologian 
who was hung by the Nazis. 
He symbolized Christianity 
because he did not conform, 
find comfort, or compromise.

Majors Lose Heartbreaker, Face Southwestern Sat. 



By JIMMY GENTRY 

GEORGETOWN, Ky.— Fall- 
ing short in the final minutes, 
the Millsaps Majors were top- 
ped 10-7 by the Georgetown 
Tigers here Saturday after- 
noon. 

After a slow first half, 
which featured defense, an 
exciting second half de- 
veloped in which Millsaps and 
Georgetown traded scores. 

Georgetown's only first half 
score came when Tom Seals 
kicked a 28-yard field goal 
with 10:03 left in the first 
quarter. 

Another Tiger scoring 
threat was stopped when the 
Majors' defense held the 
Tigers on fourth-and-one on 
Millsaps' six-yard line. 

Alter a scoreless third 
quarter, Millsaps got their 
first score of the year when 
Junior quarterback Danny 
Neely threw 68 yards to jun- 
ior halfback Troy Lee Jenkins 
on a third-and-seven situa- 



tion. 

Paul Richardson added the 
extra point with 13:39 left in 
the game. 

Georgetown countered with 
8:52 left to play when Larry 
Treece ran 15 yards for the 
score. Millsaps blocked the 
first PAT attempt but was 
offside and Seals' next try 
was good. 

Millsaps threatened again 
with four minutes left when 
they drove from their forty to 
the Georgetown 36-yard line, 
but a pass interception with 
41 seconds left ended the 
threat. 

Outstanding in the game 
was Neely who completed 
nine of 14 passes for 139 yds. 
and one TD. Jenkins caught 
three passes for 78 yards. 
Jenkins also gained 33 yards 
rushing in 10 attempts.

day. A large crowd of Major 
supporters is expected to 
flock into Memphis hopeful of 
seeing Coach Harper Davis* 
squad end a long victory 
drought which is currently in 
its third season. 

Southwestern, a Presbyteri- 
an school with an enrollment 
of 1030 students, came to 
Jackson last season to spoil 
Millsaps homecoming festivi- 
ties by defeating the Majors 
20-0. The Majors will be look- 
ing to return the favor as 
they provide homecoming en- 
tertainment for the Memphis 
college this weekend. 

Southwestern head coach 
Jesse Jordan has 25 return- 
ing lettermen from a team 
that posted a 3-5 record in 
1964. Nine of these are two- 
year lettermen. Another men- 
tionable fact is that nine of 
last year's starting eleven 
can be found on this season's 
roster. 

Only the center slot appears 
inexperienced for Southwest- 
ern in the line. Six letter win- 
ners return at end including 
two of the best past receivers 
and one of the top defensive 
ends in the College Athletic 
Conference of which the 
Lynx are a member. Four let- 
termen return both at tackle 
and guard, and Southwestern 
tackles average in at 220 lbs. 

In the backfield, however, 
the Lynx are not so experi- 
enced. The top Southwestern 
quarterback gave up football 
after last season, leaving a 
definite weakness. There is 
also a shortage of experi- 
enced personnel at fullback 
and Coach Johnson has made 
several lineup changes in an 
effort to find a winning com- 
bination. 

Southwestern, though a 
winner last season, will quick- 
ly admit the ability of Mill- 
saps to play football. Sev- 
eral of the top Lynx players 
were injured in that game 
last season and Southwestern 
did not win again in '64, los- 
ing four straight.

Majors End Dry Spell With 21-12 Win 
To Spoil Southwestern Homecoming 



By JIMMY GENTRY 

MEMPHIS — Millsaps Col- 
lege blasted Southwestern of 
Memphis here Saturday by a 
score of 21-12 to ruin the 
Lynx* Homecoming festivities. 

Paced by the running of 
halfback Jerry Husky and 
quarterback Danny Neely plus 
the alert defensive work of 
linebacker Timmie Millis, the 
Majors picked up an early 
lead, then held on for the win. 

It was a matter of coming 
up with the big play at the 
right time which brought Mill- 
saps its first win of the year. 

After the game Millsaps* 
head coach Harper Davis ex- 
plained, "Everybody played a 
terrific game. I think this is 



what we need to get us start- 
ed on a good year." 

"We moved the ball con- 
sistently for the first time this 
year against a defense that 
had given up very few yards 
to their other three op- 
ponents," continued Davis. "I 
was especially encouraged by 
the way our boys hung in 
there when we had several 
tough breaks to go against 
us in the last half." 
INTERCEPTION COUNTS 

Defensive efforts netted the 
Majors their first score with 
12:28 left in the first quarter 
when Millis ran back an inter- 
cepted flat pass 30 yards to 
paydirt. Paul Richardson's 
PAT was good. 



The interception was caused 
when end Jimmy Waide hit 
the Southwestern quarterback 
and forced a wobbly aerial. 

The Majors scored early in 
the second quarter when they 
drove 70 yards with Troy Lee 
Jenkins culminating the drive 
by scoring from the one-yard 
line. Richardson was again 
accurate with the PAT. 

Neely had led the drive by 
passing her 40 yards with 
three tosses, with end Edwin 
Massey taking two for 30 
yards, and Jenkins grabbing 
off the other. 

Neely then ran 18 yards to 
the two to set up Jenkins' TD. 

The Lynx picked up their 
only score of the half when 



quarterback Randy McKean 
threw 10 yards to end Scott 
Arnold for the score with 4:04 
left in the half. 

A pass for the PAT failed. 
THIRD TD 

Neely scored the Majors' 
third TD of the game with 
3:52 left in the third quarter 
on a one-yard sneak. 

Richardson again added the 
extra point. 

Neely had engineered this 
drive by running for 30 yards 
and passing to Massey for 17 
more. 

Jenkins also added a 10- 
yard run to the effort. 

Southwestern's last score 
came with 15:51 left in the 
game when quarterback Bruce 



Cook passed two yards to end 
Fred Kuhl. 

A pass for the PAT was 
knocked down by Millis and 
Huskey for the Majors. 

The Lynx continued to ap- 
ply pressure with their potent 
passing attack doing most of 
the heavy work, but key de- 
fensive plays by the Majors 
and Gerald Robbins' pin-point 
punting kept the Cats con- 
sistently in the hole. 

ACCURACY 

Robbins had two kicks roll 
dead on the five-yard line. 

Millsaps drove inside the 
Cat five-yard line twice, only 
to be forced back by penalties.

Selection Of Court Altered 
For Millsaps Homecoming 



By MARIE SMITH 

Changes in selection of the 
Homecoming Court for 1965 
was the main topic under con- 
sideration at the Student Sen- 
ate meeting Tuesday, October 
12. 

Vice President Jerry Duck 
announced the following pro- 
posed change: The student 
body would elect five maids 
from a list of girls who peti- 
tioned for nomination. To 
have her name placed on the 
ballot a girl must have a total 
of thirty signatures on her pe- 
tion. For sorority girls, fifteen 
of the names may be from 
one Greek group, and fifteen 
from the rest of the student 
body. Independents can ob- 
tain the required signatures 
from the student body at 
large. 

From among the five maids 
elected by the student body, 
the M-Club and football boys 
will select a Homecoming 
queen. After a great deal of 
deliberation the proposal was 
accepted. 

The old method of selecting 
a queen was exactly opposite 
of the new. The football team 
chose five maids from whom 
the student body elected a 
queen. 

Vice President Duck read 
the definite Homecoming Day 
schedule, which is the same 
as printed in last week's 
P&W, with a couple of added 
features. One addition is the 
Homecoming Dance which 
will be held at 9:00 p. m. The 
other is the Spirit Displays, 
which each fraternity and so- 
rority and the Independents 
built last year. 



The Homecoming plans 
were determined by Mr. Live- 
say, Director of Public Rela- 
tions and Alumni Affairs, and 
the Special Entertainment 
Committee members, Polly 
Dement, Jeanne Burnet, Ben 
Mitchell, Steve Whatley, and 
chairman Jerry Duck. 

During Open Forum the fol- 
lowing business was dis- 
cussed. Senator Dan Weems, 
alluding to a recent P&W 
guest editorial, asked about 
the possibility of having Play- 
boy magazine placed on the 
library shelf. He was appoint- 
ed to check into the matter. 
Senator Weems also suggested 
that the Student Union Com- 
mittee see that the torn booth 
in the grill is repaired. 

Senator Maurice Hall re- 
ported that the library has 
improved on its closing time, 
but the grill is still closing 
too early.

Enrollment Stats 
Show Big Jump 
From Last Year 

By BEVERLY BROOKS 

An increase of 28.2% in the 
1965 - '66 freshman class 
makes this year's class the 
largest in the history of Mill- 
saps College. The freshman 
class has 134 men and 143 
women for a total of 277 stu- 
dents. 

There has been an increase 
of 8.9% in the enrollment of 
the whole student body for a 
total of 873 students enrolled 
in Millsaps. A breakdown on 
the number of students shows 
there are 277 in the freshman 
class; 184 in the sophomore 
class; 190 in the junior class; 
and 148 in the senior class. 
The total enrollment includes 
74 unclassified students. 

In our student body there 
are 262 Jackson residents, 470 
residents of Mississippi out- 
side of Jackson with 62 out of 
82 counties represented and 
141 students who are residents 
of other states and countries 
with 24 states and 2 foreign 
countries represented. 



An estimated two million 
Americans will sell their 
homes during the next twelve 
months, according to an Oc- 
tober Reader's Digest article.

Mission Of Importance 



A milestone in history was reached 
a few days back which went unnoticed 
by a number of Millsaps students "too 
busy getting an education' ! and which 
was passed off by others as just another 
event in a changing world. 

However, when Pope Paul VI visited 
the United States just two weeks ago 
to make a special plea for peace before 
the United Nations General Assembly, 
an important occasion did indeed exist, 
not just for Catholics but for people 
throughout the world. 

The mission marked the first time 
ever that a Catholic Pope had visited 
the United States. Perhaps a little 
thought is needed as to why the leader 
of the world - wide Roman Catholic 
Church never before has crossed the 
Atlantic to step on American soil. 

Is it because no Pope has ever felt 
it to be his duty or his place to travel 
away from the Vatican? Or is it be- 
cause no Pope has ever felt the necessi- 
ty of making such a trip? Is it because 
never before has there been a greater 
need for such a plea for world peace? 

We find our world today in a constant 



state of war— there is always either a 
Korea, a Congo, a Vietnam, or an India 
versus Pakistan. Perhaps a good num- 
ber of us do not realize how crucial the 
world situation could be because these 
conflicts are across the oceans from us. 

However, we had better wake up. In 
this advanced world, we cannot afford 
to have these little wars turn into big 
wars. No matter who is the stronger, 
the United States, Red China, the Soviet 
Union. . ., a war between the world 
powers of today would be a tragedy for 
all concerns. 

World peace is more essential today 
than ever before. We college students 
are the persons responsible for main- 
taining peace in the future. We should 
all keep ourselves better informed on 
world affairs — we should give it some 
thought and stand behind the leaders 
of our nation in quest of peace. 

We should all take an example from 
Pope Paul VI who broke with all tradi- 
tion to come to the United States in the 
hope that every Catholic, Baptist, Meth- 
odist, Christian or non-Christian can be 
insured peace. 



Letter s-To-Editor Offer Defense 
Of Chapel Speaker And Remarks 



Dear Editor: 

Since Mr. Makamson took 
it upon himself in the last is- 
sue of the P&W to criticize 
the choice of Mr. Patterson as 
chapel speaker, I would like 
to say a few words in defense 
of this choice. Judging from 
the applause, which even Mr. 
Makamson acknowledged, Mr. 
Patterson himself needs no 
defense. 

I believe that any fair-mind- 
ed person will agree that the 
majority of chapel speeches 
last year were somewhat 
slanted toward the liberal 
point of view. (Even Mr. 
Makamson should admit this, 
unless all those speakers 
seemed conservative to him.) 
It should be noted that con- 
servatives did not complain 
(at least not publicly) last 
year when the Indian profes- 
sor, Dr. Eddy Asirvatham 
castigated the U. S. for its 
role in Vietnam and said that 
the U. S. should admit Red 
China to the U. N. and 
abandon Nationalist 
China to the Communists. 
These statements were cer- 
tainly more repulsive to the 
majority of students than were 
Mr. Patterson's. Also, one 
might mention that the record 
of the . liberals during con- 
servative speeches was cer- 
tainly not without blemish, as 
upperclassmen who attended 
the speech of the lieutenant 
governor will remember. Per- 
haps Mr. Makamson should 
examine the record before he 
makes his statements. 

—Tom Wooldridge 

Dear Editor, 

In reference to Lee Ma- 
kamson' s letter in last week's 
P & W, I am reminded of an 
old adage which goes like 
this: "If the shoe fits, wear 
it." 

In his letter, Mr. Makam- 



son said, (quote) "The At- 
torney General implied that 
these students (Millsaps) 
were here on some nefarious 
motive; I believe the language 
used was "infiltrated" and 
this was spiced with "Com- 
munist" to suggest that Mill- 
saps is now a goal of the 
Communist conspiracy and 
certain students are agents in 
achieving this goal." (end 
quote) 

If Mr. Makamson hadn't 
been so preoccupied with 
hatching up a defense for an 
"attack" on himself and 
"some of our students", 
which the speaker didn't 
make in the first place, he 
might have heard what was 
actually said. What Patterson 
really said was that we at 
Millsaps are not like students 
at other institutions and that 
he didn't think we would en- 
gage in any subversive activi- 
ty. 

The attitude of intolerance 
which Mr. Makamson ex- 
pressed in his letter was the 
exact opposite of his seeming 
convictions last year when at- 
tempting to organize the Mill- 
saps Student Council on Hu- 
man Relations. At that time, 
he claimed to be a champion 
of freedom of speech, but his 
present attitude bears out the 
fears of some students that 
this freedom would be re- 



stricted only to radicals shar- 
ing his point of view. 

In attempting to get his or- 
ganization accepted and char- 
tered last year, he promised 
to allow such men as the At- 
torney General to alternate 
with COFO, and other such 
groups in sharing the Studo-it 
Council's platform. I am wor- 
dering if Mr. Makamson 
wouldn't have backed down 
on his word. 

In my opinion, it is fine for 
a person to have a "cause." 
But when that cause becomes 
his sole reason for existence, 
ne loses sight of his purpose 
and becomes, not a champion 
of the cause, but a thorn in 
the flesh of those who are 
really concerned. 

Personally, I really don't 
think Mr. Makamson knows 
what his cause is. I don't 
think he is much better than 
those people who have incited 
riots at such institutions as 
Berkley and Ole Miss. The 
only difference is that he is on 
the other end of the stick. 

In regard to his last state- 
ment that, "in reality we at 
Millsaps don't stand very high 
at all," I would like to say 
that if it weren't for students 
like him, we might all be able 
to stand a little higher. Per- 
sonally, I kinda like it here.

IDEAS 




AND 




OPINIONS 


by 




Shattuck 



We'd like to open this 
week's column by congratu- 
lating the Millsaps Majors on 
a terrific job in defeating 
Southwestern 21-12 Saturday 
for the Majors' first win since 
1963. 

In the past, Millsaps has 
had some big moments in the 
world of sports, but certainly 
Saturday's triumph over arch- 
rival Southwestern to spoil the 
Lynx' homecoming has to go 
down as one of the big- 
gest ever. Millsaps athletic 
fortunes have been way down 
lately, but as we and your 
sports staff have pointed out, 
things are definitely taking an 
upward turn. 

A good performance against 
nationally - ranked Sewanee, 
a near-win over undefeated 
Georgetown on the latter's 
home field, and Saturday's 
victory indicate that the Ma- 
jors are definitely an im- 
proved club with a fighting 
chance for a break-even or 
winning season and rosy pros- 
pects for the future. 

Just as encouraging, too, as 
the performance of the foot- 
ball team was the large num- 
ber of students and other sup- 
porters who attended the 
game and, so we under- 
stand, made as much noice 
as the home supporters. 

We hated to miss the game 
but had conflicting prior 
committments which kept us 
in town — however, we'll bet 
we probably broke some kind 
of record for pestering foot- 
ball scoreboard telephone 
services Saturday afternoon 
trying to get the score. Guess 
that's what a winning football 
team will do to you, though! 

Maybe we should label this 
P&W issue as a Special Foot- 
ball Edition, since the front 
page, sports section, political 
column, and this column all 
get around to the subject- 
however, at the moment we 
can't think of anything more 
deserving a special edition 



than our football squad. 

* * # 

Page eight of this issue is 
devoted to coverage of the up- 
coming M i 1 1 s a p s Players 
production of "The Crucible.* 
This is the last P&W sched- 
uled for printing before the 
play opens, and let us urge 
all readers to attend one of 
the performances as it should 
be excellent. 

* * 

It sure seems a shame that 
the already-too-high cafeteria 
prices seem to be on the up- 
swing again. At the first of 
the year, a few of the meat 
choices were sold for 45 cents 
instead of the usual 40 cents 
—however, that apparently 
was only an indoctrination 
program as it appears that 
more and more meat products 
are now 45 cents. Maybe the 
cafeteria has had financial 
problems, but we can't see 
paying 45 cents for three or 
four bites of food! Neither can 
a lot of other students! 

Boarding plan students are 
"special sufferers." First, the 
boarding plan price for the 
semester was raised from 
$162 to $212; now the stu- 
dents, despite paying the ex- 
tra $50, are getting even less 
of the same foods (this being 
because a limit is placed on 
how much boarding plan stu- 
dents can get per meal.) 

Maybe cafeteria finances 
will improve for the semes- 
ter — we certainly hope so. 
However, we've got a feeling 
that the second semester bal- 
ance sheets aren't gonna show 
up so well, 'cause a lot of 
students are going to give that 
boarding arrangement second 
thoughts next time around. 

* * * 
There will be no issue of 

the Purple and White next 
week as we will be busy at 
work on a special homecom- 
ing edition to appear for re- 
lease the following week, 
probably on Friday, Novem- 
ber 5.

By EMILY COMPTON 

Something has got to hap- 
pen on this campus and soon! 
Or else our society column 
will be taken over by the af- 
fluent Mr. Goodbread's Sym- 
posium. Would you want that 
to happen? (Actually please 
do not answer this as your 
answer may cause us ex- 
treme embarassment!) 

We suppose the week days 
have been exciting enough 
with ••little" tests, intramural 
volleyball games, club and 
committee meetings, but the 
weekends have been some- 
thing else. The last two week- 
ends have been void of social 
activities on the campus (al- 
though apparently a lot of 
"socializing" got done as evi- 
denced by the number of 
rings, pins, and drops handed 
out). 

First the Georgetown game, 
Ole Miss, State, and UT 
homecoming took away lots 
of people — and so the others 
went home! Last weekend 
everyone (everyone??) went 
to Memphis to the Southwest- 
ern game. So what do we 
have to write about this 
week? Read on and we'll see. 

Congratulations to Susan 
Tenney, Chi O junior from 
Grenada, who is engaged to 
Wayne Dowdy, KA at Millsaps 
last year and now at Ole 
Miss Law School, and to Ben- 
nie Lou Satterwhite, senior 
Phi Mu from Jackson, who is 
engaged to John Vance, Bel- 
haven senior from El Dorado, 
Arkansas. 

Congratulations also to 
Mary Fish Mansell, junior 
Chi O from Canton, and Ron- 
nie Rogers, senior Kappa Sig 
from Memphis who are 
pinned! 

Congratulations also to Ann 
Stephenson, senior KD from 
Raymond, who is dropped to 
Frank M a u p u s, KA at Ole 
Miss. Also dropped are Bren- 



da Davis, freshman Phi Mu 
pledge from Long Beach, and 
Rusty Hawkins, Lambda Chi 
transfer from Mississippi 
State. 

And special congratulations 
to Margaret Allen who was 
lucky enough to be invited to 
participate in the homecom- 
ing festivities at U.T. last 
weekend! 

The fair was the big event 
of the past week. Even though 
we only got to go for one 
hour, we managed to walk 
around the fair, eat a pronto 
pup, cotton candy, drink a 
coke, and buy a polka-dot 
balloon with Swissy Mouse in- 
side! We didn't win a teddy 
bear, though! If you won an 
extra one or something hap- 
pened that your girlfriend 
doesn't want it, why don't you 
put it in Box 15055 for us?? 

The pledge swaps two 
weeks ago seemed to be 
quite successful. Tonight the 
Kappa Deltas and the Chi 
Omegas visit the Pike and 
Kappa Sigma houses while 
the Phi Mus and the Zeta 
Tau Alphas visit the Kappa 
Alpha and Lambda Chi Alpha 
houses. 

The WSGA is sponsoring a 
fashion show with clothes 
from Freda K's Wednesday, 
October 27, at 4 p.m. in 
Franklin dormitory! Be sure 
to attend and see the latest 
thing in the world of fashion. 

This coming weekend of Oc- 
tober 22 and 23 might prove 
to be an outstanding one (so- 
cially and athletically we 
hope!) The Chi O "Owl Man" 
party will be Friday night 
with music by the Knights, 
and the KD party honoring 
their pledges will be Saturday 
night at the Knights of Colum- 
bus lodge with music by the 
Echos. Saturday, the Majors 
play Harding College in Sear- 
cy, Arkansas. . . .hope to see 
some of you there! 



Band Elects Captain; 
Stage Group Organises 



By BILL LAMB 

The fabulous Millsaps non- 
marching band continued its 
meteoric rise to fame this 
past weekend. Those of you 
who attended the Millsaps- 
Southwestern game heard 
Help performed for the first 
time ever by a 25-piece in- 
strumental essemble. Also, 
although it's not any kind of 
official record, we feel that 
the band should be commend- 
ed for traveling all the way 
to Memphis and back without 
losing Reid Bangham. 

Officers for the band were 
elected last week. Serving as 
band captain this year is 
Tommy Wooldridge, sopho- 
more from Grenada. Serving 
as lieutenant is Bob Kemp, 
freshmaft from Pascagoula. 

This week, following the 
football game, the stage band 



was organized. The personnel 
for the stage band include: 
saxes, Bob Kemp, Glenn 
Turnage, Maurice Hall, David 
Doggett, and John Tatum; 
trumpets, Troy Watkins, Brad 
Parker, and Bill Drury; trom- 
bones, Tommy Wooldridge, 
Reid Bangham, and Tom 
"Sparrow" Billups; piano, 
Bill Lamb; contrabass, 
George Hollings worth; and 
percussion, Jo-Jo Ellis. 

The personnel list of the 
stage band is quite flexible, 
so all aspiring stage band mu- 
sician are invited to come and 
try out. Not even the out- 
standing musicians listed 
above are perfect, according 
to band director Bill Lamb, 
"And who knows," BiU add- 
ed, "there may be money in 
it."

Symposium 



"The American (Football) Scholar" 



By RONALD GOODBREAD 
Politican Editor 

Sometimes one cannot help 
but believe with the late and 
beloved Will Rogers when he 
said in regard to our noble 
subject here, "I tell you folks, 
all politics is applesauce." 
Politics is an all-encom- 
passing field. It can include 
everything from social life to 
the highest ideals of man. 

For this reason the present 
writer has never felt that he 
should be restricted in what 
he has to say in this column. 
The public does not want to 
read about politics when there 
are more important and in- 
teresting things to read about. 
This week I think the impor- 
tant topic should be: Ameri- 
ca's answer to Rugby, good 
ol' rock 'em and sock 'em 
FOOTBALL. 

Andy Griffith once said the 
object of this particular game 
was to get from one end of a 
cow pasture to the other with- 
out either getting knocked 
down or stepping in some- 
thing. I must confess that I 
know little more of the actual 
rules of the game than this 
simple element. But I have 
observed the principles of the 
game— for it is a game with 
principles — and they are 
worth noting. 

What makes a man want to 
get out there and get smashed 
up day after day, to go out on 
the road and lose 11 straight 
games? What keeps them go- 
ing? Guts' I think not. Guts 
implies brute strength, ani- 
mal stupidity, brazen unthink- 
ing, unseeing force. 

I tell you it is, rather, prin- 
ciples. Principles have fore- 
sight. Principles are some- 
thing that can't get knocked 
out of you by a big number 



43 from Sewanee.— guts are. 
Principles go hand - in - hand 
with honor; honor goes hand- 
in-hand with pride. 

Have you ever bothered to 
take a close look at these 
men who run themselves rag- 
ged from something called 
"The Millsaps Spirit?" I 
have. Some refer to a foot- 
ball squad — any football 
squad— as "meats." True, it 
takes "meat" to make a line; 
it takes guts to make a back- 
field or a defensive squad — 
but it takes principles, it 
takes honor, it takes pride, 
to make a team. 

These men are not meats — 
they are standard-bearers of 
principles. We are not proud 
of them because they play 
football together — we are 
proud of them because they 
are themselves. We are proud 
of them because they are in- 
dividuals who work hard, 
fight hard, play hard, for a 
team, for a spirit, for a 
school, for a coach and for 
a heritage. 

These men are outstand- 
ing not because they do ac- 
tually get broken and bruised 
and scarred in practice and in 
games, but because of what 
they are off the field as well as 
on it. Almost to a man they 
have high aims and dedicated 
spirits. They are here to learn 
they want to contribute. Each 
man does so in his own way. 
One man learns by observing. 
This is good. Another man 
learns by participation. This 
is commendable. 

But these men — this foot- 
ball team - learn in both these 
ways and they add a third 
factor: devotion. They are de- 
voted to what they are doing. 

Remember that ques- 
tion: Why do they do it? What 



makes them go? Well, here 
you have it: devotion. 

Combine these three — ob- 
servation, participation, and 
devotion — and you will learn 
as they learn. They may not 
all be first-rate scholars (are 
you?) but they are first-rate 
men (are you?) This, dear 
reader, is why we are proud of 
them. This is why we support 
them. This is why we may be 
winning less, but we are en- 
joying it more. 

But even the best group of 
men amounts to no more than 
a group if they are left alone. 
How does a group become a 
team? By learning? Yes. By 
practice? Maybe. By dedica- 
tion? Yes. But this is not all, 
really. What else then? The 
answer is as simple as it is 
imperative: with leadership. 
They must have a coach. 

A coach must have every- 
thing a team has. He must 
have ability; he must have 
enthusiasm; he must have 
principles; and he must be a 
leader. We have all of that in 
Coaches Harper Davis and 
Tommy Ranger. 

But there is not a coach or 
a team that ever lived that 
could win — could even field a 
team— with all of these quali- 
ties if they lacked one thing: 
A coach and a team must 
have support. You gotta sup- 
port the team, Jack, if ya 
want 'em to win. You want a 
winning team — then give them 
a winning student body sup- 
port. 

I am proud of the Majors. 
I salute and commend each 
one of them. If you don't sup- 
port them, you stink. I wish .1 
knew each one of them per- 
sonally. Unfortunately I don't. 
But the ones I do know come

very highly recommended by 
this writer. 

This is because they sup- 
port me, because I am Mill- 
saps— you are Millsaps, the 
past is Millsaps, and what is 
ever greater, the future 
is Millsaps. I wouldn't trade 
that heritage or that future or 
that football team for any- 
thing in this world or that 
could ever happen— including 
seeing Mississippi College dry 
up and blow away in a rancid 
cloud of dust. 

These men also have faith in 
that future and I can't help 
but feel that they believe in 
that old verse that I can only 
hope is as valid as it is old 
and trite: 

When the Great Scorer comes 
to Mark beside your name 

He'll not write "won'' or 
"lost" but how you played 
the game. 

The Majors have played 
well — not as well as they're 
^'oing to if I know Coach Da- 
vis and Coach Ranager— but 
well. They have not only 
played well as a team but 
also excellently as men. What 
about you, fella?

ADVANCED LANGUAGE STUDENTS— Four of the students taking advanced language coi 
are shown with Mr. William Baskin. chairman of the Romance Language department. 

Thirteen Freshmen Linguists 
Enter Advanced Classes 



PR RELEASE 

Freshman language courses 
would have been a breeze for 
13 Millsaps College freshmen 
this fall. 

So they're going to skip 
them. Their head start means 
that they will be able to com- 
plete their basic language re- 
quirements in one year rather 
than two. 

Placement examina- 
tions given to entering fresh- 
men indicated that these stu- 
dents have the necessary abil- 
ity and background for ad- 
vanced courses in French or 
Spanish. They will bypass the 
elementary and intermediate 
courses in these subjects. 

The 13 who were assigned 
to advance classes will be al- 
lowed to complete their lan- 
guage requirements with six 
hours rather than the usual 
twelve, which is the basic re- 
quirement for all students for 
graduation at Millsaps. 

Seven students were as- 
signed to conversation 



courses, three in French and 
four in Spanish. The courses 
are designed to give students 
some fluency in the spoken 
language. Emphasis during 
the second semester will be on 
the civilization of the coun- 
tries. 

Six students were allowed 
to take a survey course in 
French or Spanish literature. 
Five will be in French and 
one will be in Spanish. In- 
struction and recitation in 
these courses is principally in 
the language being studied. 

The students are Lynn 
Clark, Central High School, 
Memphis; James Godbold; 
Brookhaven High School; Lin- 
da Kay Hall, Pascagoula High 
School; Kenneth Hathaway, 
Natchez-Adams High School; 
Thomas Hillhouse, Greenville 
High School; Charles Edgar 
Morrison, R. H. Watkins High

Perette, Green ville High

brough, East High School,

Rarely is such historical ac- critics as Mr. Miller's great- 
curacy 'injected into the con- est work, The Crucible owes 
struction of a play as Arthur part of its electrifying force- 
Miller has put into The fulness to the reality of the 
Currently listed by incidences and characters 



which it portrays. One, in 
reading the historical notes 
which Mr. Miller appends to 
the play, feels something of 
the sense of urgency, and 
even of the hypocracy that 
pervaded these most tragic 
miscarriages of justice in 
American History. 

Salem in the spring of 
1692 was pregnant for a great 
tragedy. The religious intol- 
erance on which the commu- 
nity, and the entire state of 
Massachusetts had been 
founded had had nearly a cen- 
tury to ferment, and produce 
the nauseating brew of nar- 
row-willed theocracy without 
which the Salem trials could 
never have proceeded to their 
shameful climax. 

The church was the politi- 
cal, social, legal, and indeed 
cultural and religious center 
of the community of Salem, 
and the minister of the day 
could have been held respon- 
sible for anything good or evil 
in the social order of the vil- 
lage. But, the minister who 
participated, indeed took an 
agitating, if not guiding hand 
in the t r i a 1 s, the Reverend 



Parris, seems to have been 
unable to inject himself into 
the community to the degree 
that he would have desired. 
It is not strange that most of 
the prominent characters in 
the play are related to him— 
Abigail Williams by blood, 
and John Proctor by hate and 
mistrust. 

Mr. Miller, for his own con- 
tribution to the story line, 
adds motive upon motive for 
the fervor with which the 
trials were carried on, one 
being the girl Abigail's love 
for John Proctor, and her de- 
sire to see Proctor's wife, 
Elizabeth hung for a witch. 
Another is John Putnam's 
greed for land, which he 
hoped to purchase after for- 
feiture by the accused 
witches. Both motives seem 
to have significance in that 
Mr. Miller makes Abigail Wil- 
liams and Ruth Putnam prin- 
cipal accusers, and imputes to 
them other than the most 
sacred of motivation. 

If any persons could be 
called "heroes" or, rather, 
protagonists, those men are 
John Proctor and Reverend 



Hale. Proctor, the ' simple 
farmer" type is brought into 
the conflict both because of 
his hatred for the arrogant, 
hellfire-preaching Parris, and 
because of his seduction of 
Abigale Williams, the princi- 
pal accuser. He is sucked 
further and further in until 
finally, accused of Witchcraft 
and sentenced to hang, he 
chooses to die rather than 
confess and corrupt his 
name. 

Hale, unlike Proctor, is in- 
amoured of the trials at first, 
but is taken in disillusionment 
by the unyielding belief of the 
deputy governor that he, and 
the trials, had an almost di- 
vine infallibility. The Players 
Production, presently in re- 
hearsal, will be presented 
opening Wednesday, Novem- 
ber 3, and running nightly 
through Saturday, November 
6. Tickets for this perform- 
ance are available at the 
door on Wednesday and

Tackle Spot Manned 
By Experienced Six 



By CHRIS KELLY 

Millsaps College has six 
outstanding tackles working 
with the Majors' squad this 
year. 

Richard Dambrino, junior, 
6' 1", 245 lbs., from Biloxi 
lettered three years at Biloxi 
High School and two years 
at Perkinston Junior College 
before tran f erring to Mill- 
saps. This year he is playing 
defensive right tackle for the 
Majors. 

Stanley Graham, who has 
been doing a good job as a 
defensive tackle, is a fresh- 
man from Jackson. A 6' 2", 
240 lbs., he played at Jackson 
Central for two years, was se- 
lected for the All State third 
team, and participated in the 
Mississippi High School All 
Star Game. 

Another junior from Biloxi, 
John Hart, 6* V\ 215 lbs., is 
an experienced lineman who 
played at Perkinston Junior 
College for two years and let- 
tered four years at Biloxi's 
Notre Dame High. Coach 
Ranager praised Hart, de- 
scribing him as an "excel- 
lent blocker.' 1 

Bill Milton, a junior, trans- 



ferred to Millsaps after let- 
tering two years at Southwest 
Junior College where he re- 
ceived an All State Junior 
College Honorable Mention. 
Bill, 6' 1", 220 lbs., is from 
McComb and has also earned 
letters in baseball. Milton has 
been doubling for the Majors 
as both defensive tackle and 
end. He has been doing ex- 
cellent work blocking. 

Tom Rebold, 6' 1", 190 lbs., 
played defensive tackle for 
the Majors last year. Filling 
the left offensive tackle posi- 
tion this year, Tom has been 
replacing Milton. He played 
about half of the game 
against Sewanee and the Ma- 
jors picked up good yardage 
behind him. Tom is from New 
Orleans and is a member of 
Kappa Sigma fraternity. 

Charlie Whitten is a junior 
from Hazelhurst. At Hazel- 
hurst High School, Charlie 
lettered two years in football 
and was chosen All Little 
Dixie. Whitten, 6' 1", 205 lbs., 
also lettered at Copiah-Lin- 
coln Junior College. Charlie 
substituted for Hart who was 
injured during the Sewanee 
game. 




It is apparent that the Ma- 
jors are improving as the sea- 
son progresses. The only 
trouble may be that the op- 
ponents are improving also. 
Still we have reason to be 
somewhat happy, the Majors 
scored their first touchdown 
of the season as Dan Neely 
connected with Tray Lee Jen- 
kins for 68 yards and pay dirt. 
Paul PichardSon booted the 
P.A.T. to give Millsaps an of- 
fensive total of 7 points for 
the year. It m i g h t be said 
here that Georgetown has not 
lost one of its previous three 
games this season, if this is 
any consolation. 

We came close, but a pass 
interception on the George- 
town 36 with only 41 seconds 
left ended a drive that began 
on the Majors own 40, it also 
ended the chances for a win. 

Dan Neely is a good quar- 
terback, I have watched him 
play for three years now. He 
was good in high s c h o o 1, at 
Hinds, and he is good now. 
The record of 9 out of 14 
passes complete last week 
looks good to me. 

It is not that we lack tal- 
ent, or a good coach. The Ma- 



jors may be weak in some 
places but on a whole the 
team is a strong one. Until 
now there has been an excuse 
of sorts that could be given 
for the Majors losing, now 
there is none. By the time this 
printed the game with South- 
western will already be his- 
tory. However I would be will- 
ing to say that Millsaps is go- 
ing to start winning with this 
game. Neely has found him- 
self now, Jenkins, Massey, 
and Bobbins can run (among 
others) and if the line keeps 
up its. work maybe we can 
win. Southwestern has won 
only 1 and lost 2 this year so 
this should help. 

Following another road 
game with Harding College at 
Searcy, Ark. the Majors have 
two home games, the first 
with Maryville on Oct. 29, and 
then Homecoming against 
Livingston State Nov. the 8. 
We. close out the season with 
Ouachita College at Arkadel- 
phia, Ark. on Nov. 13. That is 
five more games. We have 
lost only three. It is then pos- 
sible to have a winning sea- 
son after all. The ability is 
there, but it will only happen

if the players and all the stu- 
dents want it to happen. Let 
the men know how you feel. 
If you don't show it they have 
no way of knowing. Lets ev- 
eryone go to the pep-rally and 
Yell for the team. 

Looking at the major col- 
leges in Mississippi it would 
appear that the power has 
switched hands. The once 
football giant Ole Miss, has 
taken a back seat to the Miss. 
State Bulldogs. The Rebs 
have lost three games in suc- 
cession while the Bulldogs 
have won all four this sea- 
son. The season is yet young 
but things could get worse for 
the Rebs. I would be willing 
to say that State will win at 
least two or three more 
games. Namely over Mem- 
phis State and Ole Miss., 
while the Rebs will lose at 
least that many. Georgia 
seems to be ridding high now 
but trouble could hit at any 
time, I still think they have a 
good chance at the S.E.C. 
crown, so does Florida, 
L.S.U., and Miss. State. An- 
other team to watch this 
year is Miss. Southern. Play- 
ing heads up ball this year 
Southern is really going to be 
the power to contend with in 
their league. At present 
they are holding a 3 and 1 
record, the only loss was to 
Miss. State last week. 

Old arch rival Miss. Col- 
lege won its first game of the 
season by downing Florence 
State, 21-7. Delta State won 
its first game of the season 
by downing Troy State, 26 to 
0, to lead the Miss, small col- 
legees. 

In the Junior college 
circuit, from which a lot of 
Major talent comes, Holmes 
took sole possession of first 
place with a record of 4 and 
0. Perkinston downed East 
Central last week and now 
these two teams are tied for 
second place with records of 
4 and L 

From reports available on 
the intramural volleyball 
race, it looks as if Kappa Al- 
pha might reign as champs 
again this year. Last year 
they .tied for first place with 
the Kappa Sigs. 

The first session ends this 
week and the season will run 
for only three more weeks. At 
the season's end, an all-star 
team will be announced. 

Well, the Los Angeles Dodg- 
ers wrapped up the World Se- 
ries this year in an uphill 
fight. First, they had to beat 
the San Francisco Giants for 
the National League title and 
then come from two games 
behind to catch and pass the 
Twins. It was a good series 
going into the seventh and 
final game which the Dodgers 
won 2-0 behind the pitching of 
Sandy Koufax. 



All of us make frequent use 
of such safety equipment as 
turn signals, steering wheel,

ever we drive. Sometimes we

tant safety device, the rear

YOU use it?

Majors Meet Harding 
In Fourth Away Game 



By TOMMY DAVIS 

Searcy, Arkansas is the site 
of this week's Millsaps foot- 
ball game. The Majors will 
make their second straight 
homecoming appear- 
ance when they play the 
Harding College Bisons. 
Fifty-four men compose the 
Bison's squad leaving 1411 
students to fill the bleachers. 

John Prock is head football 
coach at Harding for his sec- 
ond year. He expects his 
team to score more and give 
up more than last years'. 

Harding's offensive is ex- 
pected to be very fast with 
two speedsters in the back- 
field. The offensive line is 
about average size with the 
exception of a 6'6", 24 



strong end. 

Prock bases his prediction 
of a more porous defense 
on the loss by graduation. 
Last year's defensive secon- 
dary nabbed 16 passes. Two 
of these men are back again 
this year. 

Of the 54 men on the Bison 
squad 24 are lettermen. Six of 
these are seniors, six juniors, 
and twelve sophomore. 

This game is the second 
homecoming invitation that 
the Majors have excepted in 
the last two weeks. We would 
certainly like to change our 
image with other colleges. 

I think that we can show 
them that inviting the Major's 
for a homecoming celebra- 
tion is a mistake.

The Majors looked like the 
Majors of yore last Saturday 
as they romped to a 21-12 vic- 
tory over arch - rival South- 
western. For the Lynx it was 
only a spoiled homecoming, 
but for the Majors it was the 
end of a win-drought that 
stretched way back into the 
middle of the 1963 football 
season. 

The victory was a long 
time coming, but it proved 
finally that Millsaps is not 
destined to just keep losing 
forever. 

After the game head coach 
Harper Davis, who finally 
reaped the laurels of a year 
and a half's work at Millsaps, 
was asked about the win. "It 
was a terrific team effort, and 
there was a lot of student 
support. I hope this sets a 
pattern for the rest of the 
year." 

Athletic Director James A. 
Montgomery, asked about his 
reaction to the win, replied, 
"Well, I had mixed reactions 
at winning. First, I was very 
pleased that we had improved 
enough to win over what I 
consider a very good team. 
Second, I was relieved that 
we had finally broken our

Intramural Play 

By REID BINGHAM 

Kappa Alpha moved into the 
lead with a win over the Sigs 
in Men's Intramural Volley- 
ball last week. After two 
weeks of play the KA's lead 
with 3 wins and 0 losses. 
Close behind are the Sigs and 
Pikes with 2 wins and 1 loss 
apiece. 

In the first week of games 
KA's showed quickly that they 
would be a team to contend 
with by knocking off the

losing streak, and third, I was 
satisfied that we can compete 
on more or less even terms 
with the remainder of our 
schedule." 

After the contest several 
members of the team were 
asked how it felt to finally 
win a ball game, and their re- 
plies were quite illuminating 
as to how it did feel. 

Captain Tim my Millis: 
"Wonderful!" 

Captain Danny Neely: "It 
beats the heck out of losing." 

Jerry Husky: "It's great, 
man!" 

David Morris: "It felt pret- 
ty damn good." 

Edwin Massey: "I have 
played at Millsaps three years 
and we've won two games. 
Winning is a helluva lot bet- 
ter than losing." 

Bill Milton, Prentiss Bellue, 
and Charlie Whitton: "Sur- 
prise, Surprise, Surprise!" 

Pat Amos: "Different." 

Steve MUes: "Well, like 
Frog said. ..." 

Gus Rushing: Well, it feels 
great, man!

YWCA Members

To "Adoptees" 

Little Sister Get-Acquainted 
parties have become an an- 
nual affair for the Millsaps 
YWCA. Last Wednesday 
night, fourteen girls from the 
Methodist Children's Home 
met with about fifty YWCA 
members on the patio outside 
the downstairs Student Union 
to roast w e i n e r s and to 
socialize. 

The YWCA Little Sister-Big 
Sister project was initiated 
several years ago. Each of 
the older girls "adopt" a 
younger girl for the year and 
spends as much time with her 
as possible. She can visit her, 
take her shopping, and call 
her occasionally to talk over 
any little problems the Little 
Sister may have.

George Self: I don't know,

When asked to what they 
attributed this momentous 
victory, their answers were 
equally illuminating:

mind on it, and there was 
real good support." 

Neely: "We played togeth-

Amos: "Harder work and 
student support." 

MUes: "Uh, like Frog said 

Rushing: "A good week of 
practice." 

Unchurch: "Our offense 
was clicking." 

So, the ballplayers, coaches, 
and everyone else in the stu- 
dent body thinks it was great 
to finally win, nearly every- 
one concurs that teamwork 
was the decisive factor in 
winning, and everyone, like 
Coach Davis, hopes a pattern 
for the rest of the year was 
set.

KA's Defeat Sigs 



Bishop Gerald Kennedy Speaks 
On "Education And Christianity ' 

By DARRELL BUSH 

Bishop Gerald Kennedy of 
San Diego, Calif., spoke in 
chapel Tuesday, Oct. 12 on 
the topic of "Education and 
Christianity." 

Bishop Kennedy has trav- 
elled and preached all over 
the world. In 1952 he was 
elected Bishop to the Los An- 
geles, Calif, area which in- 
cludes Southern California, 
Arizona, and Hawaii. 

Other honors include being 
elected as President of the 
Methodist Council of Bishops 
and having received 10 hon- 
orary doctorates. The Bishop 
also has written 23 books. 

Speaking of education as re- 
lated to Christianity, Bishop 
Kennedy told of two men talk- 
ing. One said: "The Lord 
doesn't need your booklearn- 
ing." The other answered: "I 
know that but He doesn't need 
your ignorance either." 

He continued by telling us 
education isn't the answer to 
all problems. Men with edu- 
cation sometimes can't under- 
stand their wives and can't 
talk to their kids. 

There are three things, he 
said, that are necessary for 
the Christian. These are (1) 
humility — being willing to 
learn from other people; (2)

Lambda Chi's. The Lambda's 
won the first game 21-13, but 
the Pikes came back to take 
the last two 21-16 and 21-19. 

The following night the KA's 
quickly polished off the Inde- 
pendents 21-9 and 21-15 be- 
hind the excellent play of 
Tommy Davis and Ward Van 
Skiver. In the second game 
of the night the Sigs with 
some trouble overpowered 
the Pikes 21-19 and 21-14. 
Some of the Sigs standouts 
were Doug Greene and 
George Williamson. 

The week ended with t h e 
Lambda Chi's dropping their 
second game to the KA's. 
The Lambda's played well as 
a team and could improve lat- 
er in the season. 

In last week's opener the 
Sigs rolled up their second 
victory at the expense of the 
Lambda Chi's. Again George

The Pikes showed superior

however, regained their com-

the Sigs dropped their first 
game of the season to the

close but the Sig defense fell 
apart in the second game to

Twenty-five geologists from 
19 states and two from 
Canada conducted a 20-day 
Conference on the Geology of 
Mississippi Sound this 
summer. 

The Conference was spon- 
sored jointly by Millsaps Col- 
lege, and Gulf Coast Research 
Laboratory at Ocean Springs, 
Mississippi. It was supported 
by $20,000.00 from the Nation- 
al Science Foundation as part 
of a nation wide Institute-Con- 
ference program designed to 
broaden the training of teach- 
ers in the smaller colleges. 

Correctors of the Confer- 
ence were Dr. Richard R. 
Priddy, Chairman of the Mill- 
saps Geology Department, Dr. 
David A. DeVries, Research 
Geologist at the Laboratory 
and Dr. R. A. Berry of the 
Millsaps Chemistry Depart- 
ment. Seven members of the 
staff of Gulf Coast Research 
Laboratory served as lectur- 
ers, explaining the research 
at the Laboratory which is di- 
rectly related to the Geology 
of the Sound. 

One highlight of the Con- 
ference was a 20-hour cruise 
of the western part of Missis- 
sippi Sound. The study was 
conducted by Dr. Larry 
Michel of Shell Development 
Corporation, Houston, Texas, 
an authority on the geologic 
history of the northern Gulf 
of Mexico, and by W. J. 
Demoran oyster biologist with 
the Mississippi Seafood Com- 
mission. 

Another highlight was a 3- 
hour Southern Airways flight 
from Gulfport southwest 
across the lower Mississippi 
marshlands to Timbalier 
Pass, east along the south 
coast of Louisiana to Port

Sulphur, down the lowermost 
Mississippi to its four largest 
mouths, and north along the 
Chandeleur Chain to Cat Is- 
land. 

Another leg of the flight was 
conducted by Dr. DeVries who 
flies Mississippi Sound several 
times each year. The plane 
was maneuvered in and out 
of the chain of barrier islands 
which forms the south limit 
of the Sound; Cat, Ship, Horn, 
Petit Bois, and finally, 
Dauphin Island at the mouth 
of Mobile Bay. 

The Conference participants 
could easily see the recent 
changes in the islands and 
could recognize the westward 
and southward shift of the is- 
lands these last hundred years 
as evidenced by the positions 
of the forts on Ship and 
Dauphin Islands. The last leg 
of the flight concerned the his- 
toric changes along the main- 
land from Mobile Bay to Pas- 
cagoula, to Biloxi, to Gulfport. 

Other geology 4 'field trips* ' 
were a trip to West Ship Is- 
land, west tip of Horn Island, 
and eastern Horn Island, and 
work in skiffs up the main- 
land bayous where the waters 
are surprisingly deep. Short 
trips to Marsh Point sandpit 
and to Bellefontaine beach en- 
abled the participants to see 
daily, even hourly changes 
wrought by tides, wind waves, 
and storm waves. 

A land trip to Dauhin Is- 
land showed parallel beach 
ridges which recorded 
changes in sea level, changes 
which are synchronized with 
repeated giaciations in higher 
latitudes. 

Lectures and laboratory 
work at Gulf Coast Research 
Laboratory completed the 
formal portion of the Confer- 
ence. The last several days 
the participants pursued their 
own interests— beach studies, 
chemical and physical analy- 
ses of both waters and sedi- 
ments, and measurements of 
tides, currents, and tempera- 
tures at the surface and at 
progressive depths. 

As can be seen, the pro- 
gram was designed for gen- 
eral use in teaching but it was 
also designed to permit the 
participants of the June 7 — 
June 26 NSF-Millsaps Confer- 
ence on the Geology of Mis- 
sissippi Sound to study some 
of those geological processes 
which have been so important 
in producing the geological 
record.

Conference On Ministry 
Scheduled At Vandy 



By JAMES HULSEY 

The Conference on the Min- 
istry, to be held at Vanderbilt 
University, November 18 - 19, 
will- include representatives 
from Millsaps. 

The purpose of the confer- 
ence is to provide interested 
students with the opportunity 
to meet and confer with facul- 
ty members at Vanderbilt on 
subjects ranging from col- 
lege preparation for theologi- 
cal study to the various forms 
of the ministry needed by the 
church. One of the featured 
speakers will be Dr. Paul 
Ramsey, a Millsaps Graduate, 
of Princeton University. 

Meals and lodging will be 
provided for those students 
who attend. Assistance with 
travel expenses will be given 
to group* traveling in cars. 

The Religion Department 
has also received material 
about seminary scholarships 
for a "trial year" in semi- 
nary. These scholarships are 
offered by The Fund for Theo- 
logical Education, Inc., under 
the Rockefeller Brothers 
Theological Fellowship Pro- 
gram and the Booth Ferris 
Fellowship Program. Scholar- 
ships are offered to those who 
are undecided about their vo- 
cation and who are not now 
definitely planning to attend 
seminary. 

Students interested in ap- 
plying for either of these 
awards should contact Dr. 
Reiff immediately. The dead- 



line for application is Novem- 
ber 11.

The first semester Tap Day 
program, sponsored by Omi- 
cron Delta Kappa, was held 
in chapel Thursday, Oct. 21, 
1965. 

After an introduction by 
ODK president Jim Gabbert, 
Dean Frank Laney award- 
ed the scholarship trophies to 
the Kappa Delta and Lambda 
Chi Alpha Social groups. First 
he revealed the over-all aver- 
age of the entire student body 
for last semester — 1.58 as op- 
posed to 1.55 for the same 
semester of the previous 
year. 

The men's average was 1.51 
compared with 1.42 for last 
year. The women's average 
was 1.66 — a drop from last 
year's 1.69. 

The average for fraternity 
men was 1.53 after 1.43 last 
year. Independent men 
jumped from 1.41 to 1.50. 

Sorority and Independent 
women both dropped with the 
former having 1.73 against 
1.78 and the latter 1.58 against 
1.60. 

Runner-up fraternity for the 
trophy were the Pikes with a 
1.56, while the Lambda Chi 
Alphas took home the cup 
with a 1.62. 

Second place sorority was 
Phi Mu with 1.71 and first 



place was Kappa Delta with 
1.87. 

Sigma Lambda, the leader- 
ship organization that repre- 
sents the ultimate achieve- 
ment for a Millsaps woman, 
tapped seven. These are Vir- 
ginia Alford, Margaret 
Brown, Martha Curtis, Polly 
Dement, Ina Jordan, Estelle 
Noel, and Bennie Lou Satter- 
white. Sherry Monk is presi- 
dent. 

Omicron Delta Kappa, the 
national leadership honorary 
for men, recognizes outstand- 
ing men on campus on the 
basis of service, leadership 
and character in five areas: 
scholarship, student govern- 
ment, social and religious or- 
ganizations, athletics, publica- 
tions, and arts. The tappees 
were Bill Mayfield, George 
Pickett, Gerald Lord, Johnny 
Morrow, Larry Adams, and 



Roger Lowery. 

The first honorary to tap 
was Alpha Epsilon Delta, a 
pre-medical fraternity. The 
organization's president, Bill 
Mayfield, announced the new 
tappees were Bill Lamb and 
Danny Harvey. 

Next, Alpha Psi Omega, 
with George Morrison as presi- 
dent, tapped Lester Furr and 
Barry McGehee. For mem- 
bership one must be an effec- 
tive participant in the Mill- 
saps Players. 

Pat Galloway, Chi Delta 
president, announced six new 
members for this women's lit- 
erary society. These were Me- 
lissa Darnell, Carol Moore, 
Ellen Walker, Pat Derian, 
Jane Petty, and Miss Eudora 
Welty.

1965 Maid Of Cotton Contestants 



By HELEN PERRY 

Applications are available 
on campus for any interested 
girls to enter the Maid of Cot- 
ton contest. 

The Maid of Cotton, cotton's 
prestige symbol in the field 
of fashion, has been cotton in- 
dustry's good will ambassa- 
dress since 1939. During her 
year's r e i gn, she models a 
cotton wardrobe, rides a float 
in the Cotton Bowl, appears at 
the Cotton Carnival, and flies 
on an intercontinental tour. 

The newly selected Maid 
will also appear in a ten min- 
ute motion picture with Doris 
Day, advertising Miss Day's 
latest film release. 

Applications are available 
in Dean Pate's office and 
from the sororities. Qualifica- 
tions include that a girl must 
be unmarried, between the 
ages of 19 and 25, at least 5 
feet 5Vfe inches tall, and have 
been born in one of the cot- 
ton producing states. The of- 
ficial application f^rm should 
be mailed with the required 
photographs to the National 
Cotton Council, 1918 North 
Parkway, Memphis. 

Early in December, 20 final- 
ists will be selected from ap- 



plications and photographs. 
Following two days of per- 
sonal interviews and appear- 
ances, the Maid of Cotton will 
he chosen by a committee of 
seven judges. Final judging 
is based on beauty, personali- 
ty, background, and training.

Millsaps will have its an- 
nual homecoming on Satur- 
day, November 6, this year, 
and as usual, many activities 
have been planned fos home- 
coming day. The first order 
of the day will be the judg- 
ing of the homecoming dis- 
plays to be constructed by the 
social organizations and the 
Independents. 

The amount of money to be 
spent in the construction of 
displays has been limited to 
$25.00 this year, so a toilet 
paper shortage in the dorms is 
expected. 

The second big event of the 
day is the variety show to be 



held in the cafeteria at 12:45, 
just before the game. Chair- 
man Freddy Davis says that 
the participants in the show 
cannot be revealed at this 
time, but to make plans to 
cat in the cafeteria around 
12:30. 

To cap off the day in grand 
fashion, there will be a home- 
coming dance from 9:00 until 
1:00 (Yes, Millsaps students 
are going to dance on Sunday 
morninc). This promises to be 
a gala event and we hope that 
all Millsaps sutdents make 
plans to attend. 

Also, the Millsaps football 
team is playing Living- 
ston State at 2:00 P.M.

Junior Proficiency Exam 
Slated For November 15 



The Junior English Profi- 
ciency Examination will be 
given on Monday, November 
15, 1965, from 4 to 6 p.m. The 
examination is required of all 
students of junior standing, of 
all senior transfer students, 
and of all seniors who may 
have failed the examination 
in their junior year. 

If any student for whom this 
examination is required 
misses the examination, he 
does so at his peril. The Eng- 
lish proficiency examination 
is given once each year. The 
English department will not 
give make - up examinations 
except for the most compell- 
ing reasons, reasons which 



must be attested to in writing 
by the Academic Dean. 

Room assignments will be 
made on an alphabetical 
basis. Watch the bulletin 
boards to determine the par- 
ticular room in which you will 
be expected to take the ex- 
amination. 

The examination will as 
usual consist of a 400-500 word 
theme on a s u b j e c t to be 
chosen from a list provided at 
the time of the examination. 
Students are to bring with 
them to the examination room 
only fountain pens and ink. 
All other material will be pro- 
vided.

Frederic Balazs, Hungarian 
born director of the Tucson, 
Arizona Symphony Orchestra, 
will present a violin concert 
in the Christian Center, Fri- 
day, November 12 at 8:00 p. 
m. 

Mr. Balazs, one of the most 
versatile musicians in Ameri- 
ca, has been guest conductor 
of such orchestras as the New 
York Philharmonic; the 
Grant Park, Chicago, Sym- 
phony Orchestra; the Oklaho- 
ma City Symphony ; ensemble 
of the Los Angeles and Dallas 
symphonies. In recent tours 
he has been in Mexico, Cana- 
da and Europe. 



Wanting the general public to 
recognize the heritage of folk- 
music and the contemporary 
composer, he organized in 
Tucson the American Contem- 
porary Music Center. 

Because of his deep interest 
in youth he was recently 
named chairman of the Youth 
Orchestras project for the Na- 
tional Federation of Music 
Clubs Convention. 

Other distinctions include 
being appointed regional 
chairman for the Metropoli- 
tan Opera Auditions and hav- 
ing honorary membership in 
the International Mark Twain 
Literary Society. 

Recently Balazs was named 
as Man of the Year, and was 
awarded the Liberty Bell 
Award by the Arizona State 
Bar Association Convention. 
Also his Tucson orchestra 
was given the coveted Alice 
M. Ditson Award for recog- 
nition of progressive work on 
behalf of the American com- 
poser. 

Presently Mr. Balazs is in 
the process of giving violin 
concerts in Pennsylvania, 
Virginia, Wisconsin and then 
Jackson. This tour is one of 
two away from his conducto- 
rial duties, the next one to 
be in February when he will 



be visiting Wisconsin, Ohio, 
Pennsylvania, and Nebraska. 
He has guest conducting en- 
gagements in Canada and 
Mexico City in between his 
regular orchestral concerts in 
Tucson. 

As composer, Balazs* 
works include a Concerto— 
"Symphonic Metamorphosis ' 1 
which Benny Goodman is 
scheduled to premiere. Other 
major works are "An Ameri- 
can Symphony", after Walt 
Whitman; "In Memoriam," 
performance dedicated to the 
memory of President Kennedy 
and the Sonnets after Eliza- 
beth Barrett Browning. 

Mr. Balazs, having come to 
the United States with his 
family during World War II, 
served with the Armed Forces 
for four years. Because he 
was stationed in Jackson dur- 
ing the war he wishes to re- 
turn for a visit as well as to 
give his concert. 

Tickets for the concert are 
$2.00 for adults and $1.00 for 
students. These can be pur- 
chased from the Millsaps Mu- 
sic Department or from any of 
the Concert Choir members, 
as well as from Smitirs and 
Wright's Music Stores and the 
Millsaps Public Relations Of- 
fice. 



Five Maids Chosen For 1965 Homecoming Court 



By ANN MARTIN 

Homecoming maids for 1965 
have been announced. The 
five girls, selected recently 
by the Millsaps student body, 
are Dot Boswell, Emily 
Compton, Susan Duquette, 
Kathy Hymers, and Penny 
Sanders. The queen, who will 
be selected from these five by 
the *M' Club and the football 
team, will be presented at the 
game between the Millsaps 
Majors and Livingston State 
Tigers on November 6th. 

Dot Boswell, a junior edu- 



cation major from Jackson, 
was elected last year a cam- 
pus favorite and president of 
the Women's Student Govern- 
ment Association. She sang in 
the Concert Choir for two 
years and is also a member of 
the Debutante Club of Mis- 
sissippi. 

A junior from Vicksburg, 
Emily Compton has been a 
cheerleader for three years. 
She is a member of the Chap- 
el Choir and is the society 
editor of the PURPLE & 
WHITE. 



Susan Duquette, who was 
last year's top campus 
beauty, is a sophomore from 
Sommerville, Tennessee. Su- 
san, a member of the Trouba- 
dors, is majoring in music. 

Kathy Hymers, a senior 
education major, was number 
two beauty in last year's 
beauty Review. She is on the 
Dean's List and is a member 
of the BOBASHELA staff. 

A sophomore from Green- 
wood, Penny Sanders is serv- 
ing her second year as cheer- 
leader. She is also a member 



of the Chapel Choir and is on 
the P and W staff. 

The procedure for select- 
ing the homecoming court 
was changed for this 
year's election. Previous- 
ly the 'M' Club selected the 
court and the student body 
voted on the queen. However, 
since the 'M' Club has only 
seven returning lettermen and 
the football team is composed 
mainly of transfers and fresh- 
men, the Student Senate voted 
to make the change. 



The student body elected 
five maids from a list of girls 
who petitioned for nomination. 
To have had her name on the 
ballot, a girl must have had a 
total of thirty signatures on 
her petition. The sorority girls 
could have only fifteen names 
from one Greek group and fif- 
teen from the rest of the stu- 
dent body. 

Four hundred seventy eight 
people, which is 62.5% of the 
student body, voted in the 
election on October 26th.

Unwanted, But Necessary 



Millsaps College announced last week 
a $150 per semester increase in tuition 
over the rates currently in effect. The 
announcement by school officials came 
as a surprise to almost everybody— 
rumors had been making their way 
about the campus regarding possibili- 
ties of an increase; however, very few 
students, if any, expected the tuition 
charges to be increased by such a large 
amount. 

The PURPLE AND WHITE regrets 
that such a large change had to be 
made. We feel that Millsaps College 
has much to offer the would-be college 
student of Mississippi and, sorrowfully, 
we fear that many top prospects will 
not be able to meet the required finan- 
cial requirements. 

Although most high-quality schools 
do indeed have higher tuitions than 
even the new Millsaps rates, the fact 
remains that one must hesitate before 
comparing Mississippi school costs with 
those of Tennessee, Louisiana, Texas, 
or other states because Mississippi in- 
comes are unfortunately much lower, 
on an average, than those in any other 
state. 

And Millsaps, in comparison with 
other Mississippi schools, is most def- 
initely running away from the pack. We 
are running the risk now that a high 
school senior will decide that quality 
isn't worth the extra expense or, worse, 
that a top-notch prospect won't even 
give Millsaps a glancing look-over be- 
cause of high costs and low income. 

However, it is obvious that the tuition 
increase is indeed necessary if Millsaps 
is to increase, or even maintain, its 
reputation as one of the South's top 
higher institutions. We cannot continue 



to lose leading faculty members be- 
cause of low salaries and retain our 
claim of excellence. 

The choice, as we see it, rested be- 
tween attempting to maintain quality 
standards at Millsaps with higher 
prices, or becoming just another Mis- 
sissippi small-time college with smaller 
costs. There simply was no alternative 
way to retain high standards and tui- 
tion rates as they have been. 

The PURPLE AND WHITE supports 
the tuition increase, but does so with 
several definite reservations. 

(1) Work-study and scholarship pro- 
grams must be increased on a large 
scale. This may not be easy, but we 
have been told it will be done and we 
feel that these programs must be great- 
ly increased if we are, as the adminis- 
tration claims, still going to be able to 
give a quality education to any student, 
regardless of financial status, who real- 
ly wants one badly enough. 

(2) With such a large jolt at once, 
this must be the final tuition increase 
for some years. We have seen several 
small increases over the past few 
years, $25 here and $25 there to keep 
up with rising costs of maintaining a 
school — we have come to expect either 
a slight raise in tuition, an increase in 
board, or an increase in dormitory 
rates every year or so. However, after 
a $300 per year tuition increase at one 
time, we should expect a reprieve from 
such practices. 

(3) The people of Mississippi and the 
South must be convinced that Millsaps 
does indeed give a quality education — 
prospective students must be assured 
that they will gain from their extra 
investment.

AND 

OPINIONS

Welcome Home, alumni! 
We certainly hope that Home- 
coming 1965 at Millsaps 
brings back many pleasant 
memories for all of our re- 
turning alums — a large slate 
of activities is planned, high- 
lighted by the football con- 
test between Millsaps and 
Livingston State and the Mill- 
saps Players' production of 
4< The Crucible." It should be 
an exciting weekend. 



Although probably most 
readers didn't or haven't no- 
ticed, you might take note of 
the fact that the entire first 
section of this special home- 
coming edition is, with the ex- 
ception of editorial pages, 
composed of pages using front 
page makeup style, complete 
with mast-head. 

This may be a first in his- 
tory, but we decided to be a 
little original this week. Any- 
way, rarely ever does one 
week find so many top stories 
in the news and how can one 
differentiate between such im- 
portant items as Tap Day, a 
tuition increase, homecoming, 
a special concert by a world- 
famous violinist, a big victory 
in football, two key meetings 
of the Student Senate, and so 
on. And since our actual front 
page is graced this week by a 
quintet of lovely young 
ladies, we decided to compose 
a whole section of front 
pages. 

We hope that each student 
will find something worth 
reading on each of our "page 
one" layouts. 



Congrats again go out to 
our football team — winning 
that first game at Memphis 
was great, but coming up with 
another win at home was 
even better. If the team plays 
In the next two games the 
way they performed in the 
first half against Maryville, 
we'll have a 4-4 record at 
Millsaps — and lest some 
don't realize it, we might add 
that not one member of the 
'65 Millsaps team is a senior! 

We're all pulling for anoth- 
er win against Livingston 
State. The Tigers are tough, 
but another tough Tiger was 
tamed last week and we've a 
hunch cats just ain't in style

We were interested to note 
that Clarion-Ledger "Affairs 
of S t a t e" columnist Charles 
Hills devoted nearly all of one 
of last week's columns to the 
dress. The latter's letter 
reprinted verbatim. 



There has been a lot of talk 
pro and con about the possi- 
bility of having a Millsaps 
dance at the Hotel Heidelburg 
this year for homecoming. We 
don't know at press time the 
outcome, although Student 
Senate decided to go on rec- 
ord supporting such a dance 
and any overruling would 
have had to come from the 
administration. 

We can see nothing wrong 
with Millsaps students hav- 
ing a dance at any local hotel, 
although we agree that stu- 
dents would have to be re- 
sponsible for their behavior. 
(Remember: Millsaps stu- 
dents do not drink!) We also 
feel that female students 
should have been allowed the 
2 a.m. night requested for the 
dance, even if the dance was 
on campus. 

If Ole Miss and State stu- 
dents can hold parties in 
Jackson until all hours of the 
morning, if even high school 
students are granted this 
privilege by their parents 
(Horrors!) once in awhile, 
then we see nothing wrong 
with letting Millsaps students 
have a downtown party just 
once a year for homecoming. 



The color photograph for 
this issue was taken by Mill- 
saps student Jim Lucas while 
the color spearation work was 
done by Claude Sutherland of 
the Clarion-Ledger. We thank 
both for a fine picture, and 
issue a special thanks to our 
own photographer, Ernest 
Rucker, who took on an extra 
load for this larger paper and 
still found time to go through 
the agony of snapping a new 
picture for this columnhead.

Symposium . . . 



A Note To The Alumni: Millsaps And Changing Permanance 



By RONALD GOOD BREAD 
SYMPOSIUM EDITOR 

The wind passes quietly 
over the Millsaps Campus and 
then moves on. The Christian 
Center is still a picture— post 
card view against a cloudless 
blue sky. The trees still 
sillouette their thin finger 
branches against a ghostly 
moon on a dark night. Found- 
ers is still disgustingly redicu- 
lous as it stands mocking the 
progress that goes on around 
it. 

It may all still seem the 
same to you alumni who re- 
turn to Methodist Hill — but 
take another look. All around 
you there is change. The air 
is thick with it. It creeps over 
the campus like the morning 
mists from the lowlands on 
the golf course. Like the 
winds that blow hard through 
the wind gap between Whit- 
worth - Sanders and the Music 
Hall, you can feel it to the 
bone— but it is a pleasant 
feeling. 

It used to be that the per- 
fect day around Millsaps was 
one in which nothing hap- 
pened, but like the 4 cent 
stamp, the nickle Coke and 
the $350 tuition— those days 
are gone. Workers put in a 
ten hour day for five days a 
week now during this good 
weather. For when it is cold 
the work with the concrete 
and steel will become slow 
and tedious. The machines 
will not work as well in the 
winter. Nails drive sluggishly 
through cold wood and bricks 
seem heavier when they feel 
like cakes of dry ice for the 
old days at Millsaps have 
seen their last winter. 

Everywhere there is talk of 
new dormitories, fine arts 
buildings, of additions to the 
library, of air conditioning 
for CC auditorium, and of 
grants from national founda- 
tions. And when you hear 
such talk you will inevitably 
hear one name: Benjamin B. 
Graves. 

What mam er of man is this? 
I have seen him with the eyes 
of one who is trained to ob- 
serve a person in an executive 
position and this man has the 
bearing of a President. He 
looks the part. Not like a 
preacher or a businessman, 
but like a President. As Mr. 
Eugene Countiss put it, "He's 
the BDWIC: the Big Daddy 
What's In Charge." 

He is in charge of the col- 
lege. By "college" I mean the 
entire outfit — from the Ad- 
ministration Building, through 
the class rooms, down to the 
dormitories and in the minds 
of the students. Perhaps this 
last one is the most impor- 
tant. Not often in the history 
of the academic world comes 
there a man who is both a 
member of the Forum and 
has a place on Olympus. The 
students do not find it hard 
to work up enough nerves to 
speak to him when they see 
him even in the most unlike- 
ly place: the grill or the cafe- 
teria. 

He seems to put forth the 
image that if the President 



can eat that stuff they serve 
in there, by jing, so can you. 
But always he is the President 
He is something you look up 
to. The man seems so close— 
the President so high. 

As Richard Neustadt said, 
"Presidential Power is the 
power to persuade." What is 
being done is what he has per- 
suaded the faculty and the 
Board of Trustees to do. Even 
as you read this a faculty 
committee (along with a 
student committee, I might 
add) is at work on a revision 
of the aging curriculum that 
has guided Millsaps since 
the days when our fathers at- 
tended here and lived in Bur- 
ton 11, and disappeared on 
the golf course with our moth- 
ers on Friday afternoons. It 
was a curriculum which like 
the old observatory, got the 
job done, more or less, but 
we could sure use one that 
is wider! 

Yes change is the order of 
the day. "Change is the only 
thing of permanence," said 
President Franklin D. Roose- 
velt who permanently 
changed the destiny of an en- 
tire generation. But you alum- 
ni always seem to have one 
shortcoming: when you look 
at Millsaps you look at what 
the Administration has done. 
Too many times the work of 
the students is overlooked. I 
want to bring some of that 
work to your attention. 

First I want you to meet 
Larry Elliot Adams, Pres- 
ident of the Student Executive 
Board. Here is some more 
"Presidential Timber." Here 
is a mind that is faultless in 
goodness and the desire for 
learning. Here is a man who 
exemplifies the highest ideals 
of the Millsaps Student Body. 
Here is a President who also 
gets things done. Here is 
a man, like his Millsaps coun- 
terpart, who was destined to 
govern. I wish you could 
know how much he has done 
in just half a hundred days, 
as we go to press. 

No one ever knows the lit- 
tle things he is called upon 
to do a thousand times a day. 
No one ever knows the un- 
timely things that are averted 
more incidences than I care to 
think of because of his diplo- 
matic dealings with all with 
whom he comes in contact. 
You should take special pains 
to find out how proud we are 
of him. 

At the President's right 
hand you will find Vice-Presi- 
dent Jerry Duck. They are 
both of the same mold, these 
two. They work together 
hand-in-glove to form a pre- 
cision Administration. He is 
incomparable in his dedica- 
tion to his job, his Chief, and 
his school. 

All of us know him as a 
man of integrity and deep 
faith— one who is intelligent, 
mature, and uniquely knowl- 
edgeable in the problems 
and personalities in the Mill- 
saps scene. And along with 
this, he has that priceless 
gift, a sense of humor— indis- 



pensable in politics. 

And for you alumnae your 
sex is very well represented 
in our Secretary and Treas- 
urer. Jeanne Burnet is the 
personification of dedication 
and stability and Polly De- 
ment does not know how to 
be inefficient. Male suprema- 
cist that I am, I cannot de- 
tract one thing from the 
services and abilities of these 
two. 

You know about our football 
team. You know the dedica- 
tion to your school that they 
have. What can I add? That 
we are proud of them? That 
we enthusiastically support 
them? Yes, but by the time 
you have read this far you 
will be able to sense that 
wherever you now are on the 
campus. 

Our cheerleaders? We love 
them. We have never failed 
to be lifted in spirit by them. 
You won't either. 

And our Concert Choir? And 
the superb, incomparable 
matcheless, fantastic Trouba- 
dors? What more has any col- 
lege to offer? Millsaps offers 
you the opportunity to support 
these mucial wonders. And I 
I mean opportunity. I think it 
is an honor that we can say 
they are from Millsaps. I only 
wish I c o u 1 d do more for 
them. I wish I could in some 
way persuade you to do even 
more for them. Never was 
there a group more deserving 



of anyone's pride and support. 

But are these things of 
change? No, not really. You 
loved these same things when 
you were here. These are the 
things of permanance that are 
subject to the change of the 
times. As you enjoy each sea- 
son of the year differently, so 
we enjoy these same things 
differently. 

What the change is can be 
seen even by this newspaper 
you are reading. Some of the 
things that have been written 
in SYMPOSIUM would have 
caused riots in days past. We 
have an efficient and coura- 
geous editor and a dedicated 
staff here on the P & W that 
I would put up against yours 
any day. 

Yes, "the times they are a- 
changing." Millsaps will al- 
ways be the same in some 
ways. The spirit in which the 



Major rests under the flag of 
his country every day will 
never be disturbed even by 
those tremendous machines 
building their dormitories and 
fine arts buildings some day. 

But the old days of do-noth- 
ingness have not only been 
disturbed, they have been ob- 
litterated. You can no longer 
stay gone from Millsaps for 
over a year and come back go 
the same campus. You will 
always be welcomed by the 
same school — by the same 
heritage — by the same affec- 
tion. But an era is drawing 
to a close. We are grateful to 
be a part of that new era. 

Yes, Millsaps is still the 
same place, but each day that 
the wind that sweeps over 
this history-soaked campus is 
a little fresher and that sky in 
back of the Christian Center 
is a little brighter.

MILLSAPS COLLEGE, JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI 



NOVEMBER 5, 1965 



Tuition Increase Announced By Millsaps Officials 

President Graves Informs Students 



Student Meeting Touches Topics 



Although President Ben- 
jamin B. Graves' main pur- 
pose in speaking to a group 
of student leaders last 
Wednesday was to break the 
news of the increase in tui- 
tion, he also touched upon a 
couple of other timely topics 
of general interest around the 
campus. 

The president discussed pos- 
sibilities for a Ford Founda- 
tion Grant, pointing out that 
a representative spent two 
days last week touring the 
campus and talking with stu- 
dents, the faculty, and admin- 
istration. 

Dr. Graves gave a brief de- 
scription of the Foundation, 
remarking that it was set up 
to give a small amount of 
"challenge grants" to deserv- 
ing and needy private col- 
leges throughout the United 
States. The organizers elected 
to give large amounts to a 
few institutions rather than 
spread the funds around, feel- 
ing that more good could be 
accomplished in this manner. 

To date, 55 grants have 
been awarded, the small- 
est having been $1 million. 
However, only six grants 
have been given to colleges 
in the South, the latest being 
Southwestern. 

About 50 colleges and uni- 
versities are now under con- 
sideration for "c h a 1 1 e n g e 
grants," among which is Mill- 
saps. Only about five will be 
chosen from that group. 

Also, even after a grant is 
made, the institution has to 
match the grant at least pen- 
ny-for-p e n n y and, in some 
cases involving large grants, 
by a larger ratio. 

The president, when asked, 
also reflected upon Millsaps' 
place in education ten years 
from now. "The decision 
must be made sometime in 
the future whether to stabilize 
or shoot for becoming a type 
of small university. He dis- 
cussed long - range possibili- 
ties for graduate schools at 
Millsaps, putting particular 
emphasis upon the fact that 
we could possibly justify start-

in teaching program. 

Dr. Graves pointed to Van- 
derbilt as a possible model 
institution Millsaps might 
shoot for in distant thinkings. 
He voiced his opinion that 
Mississippi really needs a 
strong private school system. 

The Millsaps chief executive 
also mentioned briefly that a 
few "proposed changes were 
in the making for the near 
future regarding curriculum 
at Millsaps but preferred to 
wait until a later date before 
making any definite an- 
nouncement on that.

The PURPLE AND

to announce that in- 
formation concerning 
the National Teacher 
Examination program

be obtained from Mrs.

Of Necessity For $150 Change 



Cirlot Heads Alumni Campaign; 
$50,000 Set As Minimum Goal 



Neal W. Cirlot of Jackson 
has been named chairman of 
the 1965-66 Alumni Fund cam- 
paign at Millsaps. 

Cirlot will direct a drive to 
obtain a minimum of $50,000 
for the operating budget of 
the College from the Mill- 
saps alumni. 

The 1964-65 campaign, di- 
rected by Albert W. Sanders 
with Cirlot as his assistant, 
showed a final tally of $42,612, 
an increase of 12% over the 
preceding year. 

Cirlot will be assisted by 
William E. Barksdale, Jack- 



son, as associate chairman, 
and a committee composed of 
Clay Alexander, Charles Car- 
michael, Foster Collins, Ken- 
neth Dew, Sutton Marks, and 
Cecil Smith, all of Jackson. 



Millsaps College has had 
four authentic Little All- 
Americans since World War 
II. They are David Mcintosh, 
McComb — '46-'47; John H. 
Christmas, Jackson — '47; Joe 
Whitwell, Jackson — '49; and 
Johnny Hatten, Gulf port— '60- 
•61. All four were chosen by 
the Williamson Rating Sys- 
tem. 



Millsaps College officials 
announced last week a $150 
per semester increase in tu- 
ition costs effective Septem- 
ber 1966. Semester rates will 
then be $500 as compared 
with the current $350. 

Dr. Benjamin B. Graves, 
Millsaps president, first in- 
formed a group of student 
leaders of the decision a week 
ago Wednesday, then ad- 
dressed the entire student 
body on the subject the fol- 
lowing day when the an- 
nouncement was made to the 
general public. 

The school president told the 
group of student leaders that 
the increase in tuition was 
necessary if Millsaps were to 
maintain its quality standards 
and compete with other 
schools. Dr. Graves pointed 
out that cost of attending 
nearly all other reputable pri- 
vate colleges is far above 
even what the new rates at 
Millsaps will be. 

"There are five major 
sources from w h i c h we can 
obtain money at Millsaps," 
stated Dr. Graves: "(1) Stu- 
dents and parents, (2) Endow- 
ments, (3) the Methodist 
Church, (4) Alumni, (5) Busi- 
ness, and (6) friends of the 
college. 

"We are not ignoring the 



other five opportunities," he 
continued, "but, frankly, we 
need another half-million dol- 
lars in annual income." He 
remarked that, regarding en- 
dowments, we have $3 million 
while needing $10 million; 
that although the school is 
trying to obtain funds from 
the church, we are doing well 
to hold our own; that only 15 
per cent of our alumni make 
annual contributions while we 
should be at 50 per cent (Har- 
vard alumni have a 75 per 
cent contribution record). 

The president continued 
that government funds also 
could not make up the needed 
revenue. Regarding this 
government money, he 
pointed out that such funds 
were being used for building 
the new dormitories, for im- 
provements on the library, 
and with the school work- 
study programs, but empha- 
sized that the government 
grants "do not get to the 
bread and butter of the 
situation." 

The "bread and butter" is 
primarily the retention of 
faculty members. Dr. Graves 
listed the average salary of 
Millsaps professors as $7618 
last year and probably about 
$8100 this year. "60 per cent 
of Jackson family incomes

Student Senate Notes . . . 



Recent Meetings Spiced With Variety 



Variety is the spice of busi- 
ness meetings and variety is 
what characterized the Octo- 
ber 19 Student Senate session. 

Treasurer Dement reported 
that the Finance Committee 
members, Mrs. McMullan, 
Miss Moorhead, Cindy Felder, 
Jim G a b b e r t, and Jeanne 
Burnet, would meet October 
25 to allocate funds and set 
up the budget for the semes- 
ter. 

Senator Valentine presented 
the Resolutions Committee's 
report on the letter which 
Senate presented to Dr. 
Graves, commending him for 
his fine work here. 

Senator W e e m s reported 
that with regard to placing 
Playboy on the library shelves, 
no teacher will request the 
magazine because the money 
would come from their re- 
spective department book or- 
der budget. After much 
discussion, the matter was 
postponed indefinitely. 

Under new business Vice- 
president Duck reported ten- 
tative plans for the Home- 
coming Dance to be held Sat- 



urday, November 6 at 9:00 p. 
m. He reported that the Vic- 
tory Room of the Heidelberg 
Hotel had been reserved for 
$150.00. The Soul Shakers will 
play for $125.00. Tickets will 
be approximately $2.00 per 
couple, $2.00 stag. Senate then 
passed Vice-president Duck's 
motion that $275.00 be appro- 
priated to back the dance. 

(Since this discussion, plans 
for the campus the dance has 
been dropped.) 

Senator Davis moved that 
Student Senate request a 2:00 
night for Homecoming. The 
motion passed. 

Senator Davis also reported 
plans for the next Mississippi 
Intercollegiate Council Con- 
vention which will be held the 
second week-end in Decem- 
ber at Blue Mountain College. 
Millsaps is responsible for the 
Friday night program at the 
meeting. 

Homecoming activities, par- 
ticularly the dance, was the 
main topic of discussion at 
Student Senate October 26. 
Treasurer Dement announc- 
ed Senate's request to have 



the dance in the Victory 
Room of the Heidelberg Hotel 
had not been approved yet. 

Stating that the administra- 
tion had voiced a great deal 
of concern over the idea, she 
explained some of their opin- 
ions. The administration 
pointed out that Homecoming 
can be viewed in two ways — 
just for ourselves or for both 
ourselves and the Alumni. 
They felt it would be more 
meaningful for all concerned 
if the dance were held in the 
Millsaps cafeteria as usual, 
thus keeping the campus in 
a continual state of activity 
throughout the day. Concern 
was also expressed over the 
problem of transportation, 
chaperones, and other points. 

The 2:00 night which Stu- 
dent Senate requested for No- 
vember 6 was denied. Home- 
coming will be a 1:00 night 
for the girls, as usual. 

Senator Hall spoke in re- 
gard to the administration's 
wish to keep the dance on 
campus, enabling the alumni 
to drop in on it if they wished. 
He pointed out that the play, 



which most alumni will at- 
tend, will be in progress until 
10:00. 

President Adams stated 
that further discussion was 
extreneous until someone 
made a motion to change Sen- 
ate's request that the dance 
be held uptown. There was 
no motion. 

President Adams, speaking 
for Parking Committee chair- 
man Lee McCormick, gave 
the committee's report. He 
said that students would be 
asked to observe certain 
parking rules. 

Senator Hall brought up the 
possibility of selling maga- 
zines in the bookstore and was 
referred to the bookstore 
manager. Senator Vamer sug- 
gested that the cafeteria post 
a menu each day, at least 
one day ahead. He was re- 
ferred to Mr. Wood, the 
business manager. 

The next Student Senate 
meeting, November 2, was to 
be in Room A - B of the tSu-

Majors' Offensive Power 
Overwhelms Maryville Scots 



By JIMMY GENTRY 

Displaying their most po- 
tent offensive attack of the 
year, the M i 1 1 s a p s Ma- 
jors overwhelmed the Mary- 
vill Scots by a score of 28 to 
13 here Saturday. 

Led by the running of full- 
backs Tommy Dickerson and 
Ceroid Kobbins, and halfback 
Jerry Huskey, plus the pass- 
ing of quarterback Danny 
Neely, the Majors picked up 
their second win in three 
games. 

Dickerson scored touch- 
downs on the first two times 
he carried the ball in inter- 
collegiate action, scoring on 
runs of one and 27 yards. For 
the day he totaled 77 yards 
in 11 carries. 

Bobbins led the Majors in 
rushing yardage, carrying the 
ball 12 times for 86 yards. 
Huskey gained 80 yards in 12 
attempts. 

Neely threw touchdown 
passes of seven and 57 yards 
to end Paul Richardson and 
halfback Edwin Massey, re- 
spectively. 

Millsaps struck quickly for 
their first touchdown as they 



took the opening kickoff and 
moved to paydirt in four 
plays. Dickerson capped the 
drive by scoring from the one 
and Richardson added the ex- 
tra point with 1:35 gone in the 
quarter. 

The big play had been a 54 
yard run to the Maryville sev- 
en by Huskey on a double re- 
verse on the initial play from 
scrimmage. 

Dickerson struck again with 
8:29 left in the quarter as he 
raced 29 yards up the middle 
for his second score of the 
game. Richardson again 
kicked the PAT. 

Early in the second quarter 
Millsaps drove 65 yards in 15 
plays for their third touch- 
down. This drive was capped 
by Neely passing seven yards 
to Richardson for the score. 

Instrumental in the drive 
had been the running of Mas- 
sey and Robbins and a 26 
yard pass from Neely to Mas- 
sey. 

Maryville scored with 3:25 
left in the half when they 
capitalized on a hard snap 
from center as Millsaps was 
preparing to punt. The Scots 



got the ball on the Major's 
six yard line and halfback 
Danny Rogers scored from 
the three. 

Three plays later, Millsaps 
retaliated as Massey made 
a circus catch of a Neely 
pass on the 32 and ran the 
rest of the way for the score, 
completing a 57 yard pass 
play. Richardson added his 
fourth extra point. 

In the second half Maryville 
scored again as Halfback Her- 
man Ramsey scored from the 
two yard line. 

Millsaps completely domin- 
ated the action by picking up 
17 first downs and 366 yards 
in total offense as compared 
to six Maryville first downs 
and 100 total yards. 

The Free World's military 
strength in the Pacific con- 
siderably outnumbers that of 
Red China, an October Read- 
er's Digest article asserts. 
The combined armies of the 
free countries total 2,700,000 
men against China's 2,500,000; 
China has 50 ships, while the 
free nations have 500; with 
4000 jet planes, the free coun- 
tries have twice the number. 




CATCH OF THE YEAR — Edwin Massey, Millsaps halfback in 
the dark jersey, joes high in the air to outfight two Maryville 
defenders for a Danny Neely pass in last Friday's Major 
victory. Not only did Massey make a sensational catch—he 
then evaded both would-be tacklers and raced another 25 yards 
for a 



Biology Department Receives Grant 



Zonta Offers Fellowships To 
Women Aero-Space Scientists 



PR RELEASE 

A $7,000 grant has been 
awarded to the Millsaps Col- 
lege biology department 
by the National Science Foun- 
dation in support of an under- 
graduate research participa- 
tion program. 

The program, to be directed 
by Rondal Bell, will be con- 
cerned with the investigation 
of the disease polyarteritis 
nodosa. 

Twelve students and four 
faculty members will be in- 
volved in the program, which 
is designed to provide an op- 
portunity for scientific re- 
search for students who are 
possible graduate school can- 
didates. 

The research will be a con- 
tinuation of studies of poly- 
arteritis nodosa conducted in 
past years by Dr. James C. 
Perry, professor of biology. 
The new program will inves- 
tigate the feasibility of using 
Peromyscus, or field mice, as 
experimental animals rather 
than white rats. Preliminary 
investigations have shown the 
results of the experiments to 
be much more dramatic in 
the field mice. 

Polyarteritis nodosa is a 
disease which affects the 
blood vessels, particular- 
ly the arteries, causing them 
to become enlarged and in- 
flamed. It causes about one 
death in a thousand. 



Dr. Perry discovered a 
method of producing the dis- 
ease in animals, which has 
enabled him to produce it at 
will so that aspects of it can 
be studied as it develops. His 
research has been supported 
by National Institute of Health 
grants amounting to $60,- 
000 over an eight-year period. 

The study will be divided 
into four parts. Dr. Perry will 
direct aproject which will 
be concerned with the induc- 
tion of the disease into the 
animals. The student partici- 
pants will treat, care for, and 
observe the experimental ani- 
mals, perform periodic tests 
during the development of the 
disease, perform autopsies on 
the animals, make histologi- 
cal preparations and studies 
of reacting tissues and organs, 
and prepare photographs of 
significant results. 

A second project, to be di- 
rected by Bell, will involve 
electrophoretic analysis of the 
serum proteins of polyarterit- 
ic animals and the com- 
parison of the patterns with 
those of normal animals. In 
addition to making the tests, 
comparisons, and analyses, 
students will be expected to 
collect blood specimens and 
prepare the sera. 

The third project will con- 
cern the possible production of 
antibodies in polyarteritic ani- 
mals. *It will involve tests of 



^^^^SZtZ In Memory Of Amelia Earbart 



of diseased and normal 
mice into rabbits to stimulate 
antibody production. Jerry 
Bagwell, instructor of biology, 
will be supervisor. 

The final project will be di- 
rected by Dr. Thomas Cochis. 
Animals will be subjected to 
variations in diet and physi- 
cal environment and made 
available to the other teams 
for investigation of the re- 
sponse of the animals to poly- 
arteritis nodosa. 

Undergraduate re- 
search participation programs 
have been conducted by the 
biology department for the 
past five years. Other depart- 
ments have engaged in simi- 
lar programs. 



For the 28th year Zonta in- 
ternational is offering its 
Amelia Earhart Fellowship 
grants to women who qualify 
for advanded study in aero- 
space sciences and to whom 
a grand of $2,500 would be a 
major factor in pursuing grad- 
uate work. 

The fellowships were estab- 
lished by this service organi- 
zation of business and profes- 
sional women executives as a 
memorial to the world-famous 
air pioneer. Miss Earhart had 
been a long-time member of 
Zonta (her only non - profes- 
sional affiliation) before her 
1937 disappearance. Funds for 
the annual grants are pro-

A high cause of accidents is 
tailgating — the practice of 
driving too close to the car 
ahead. According to an Oc- 
tober Reader's Digest article,

this year and is a factor in at 
least 13 percent of all smash- 
ups. 



vided by contributions from 
Zonta's member clubs which 
now number 485 in 24 coun- 
tries. 

Zontians' confidence in 
women's potential in the 
space field has been rewarded 
by the distinguished records 
made by the young women 
who have received the 60 Ear- 
hart grants- to date. A bache- 
lor's degree in a science 
qualifying a candidate for 
graduate work in some phase 
of the aero-space sciences in 
a college of her choice and 
approved by Zonta's Earhart 
Fellowship committee is the 
basic requirement, plus evi- 
dence of exceptional ability 
and personal character. 

There are no geographical 
bars; awardees include stu- 
dents whose bachelor of sci- 
ence degrees were earned in 
various European countries 
and in the Middle East and 
Far East, although the majori- 
ty have used Zonta's grants in 
U. S. graduate schools.

Miss Welty Begins 2nd Year 
In Writer-In-Residence Post

By CHERYL BARRETT 

"Writing can not be taught 
but must be learned." This is 
the basis on which Miss Eu- 
dora Welty, writer-in-resi- 
dence at Millsaps, conducts 
her seminars. Miss Welty 
feels that "learning to write 
is an interior matter." 

Miss Welty is starting her 
second year as Writer-In-Res- 
idence at Millsaps. She teach- 
es a weekly seminar ciass on 
the art of fiction and also 



gives two lectures which are 
open to the public. 

During her seminars on the 
art of fiction she trys to 
maintain an intimate and 
stimulating atmosphere which 
encourages students to ex- 
press their ideas and emo- 
tions on writing. 

She feels there are many 
talented students in her class, 
in which students write stories 
themselves and present them 
to the class. Miss Welty and

Presently Miss Welty is 
working on a novel to be fin-

cerpts from this were read 
by her in a lecture she gave 
last spring.) Miss Welty 
stated in an interview 
that most of her novels origi- 
nated as short stories. 

All but a few of her works 
are set in the South, for she 
believes that a writer should 
only write about that which he 
knows. In her stories she tries 
to make the people unveil 
themselves by developing the 
character from the inside. 

Miss Welty has twice won 
first prize in the O. Henry 
Memorial oCntest, was elected 
to the National Institute of 
Arts and Letters in 1952 and 
has received two Guggenheim 
Fellowships. 

From 1958 to 1961 she was 
honorary consultant to the Li- 
brary of Congress. Many col-

awarded her honorary de- 
grees, among them the Uni- 
versity of Wisconsin, her Alma

ROGER BEASLEY AND FAMILY— Millsaps sophomore Roger 
Beasley carries on the routine life of a Millsaps student despite 
the loss of both eyes in separate accidents. With Roger are 
his wife and their two-year-old son, Dale. 

Tuition Increase Announced . . .

are as good or better," he 
remarked. Also mentioned 
was the fact that many stu- 
dents were able to make 
more money than the profes- 
sor who taught them after a 
couple of years. 

Faculty expenses constitute 
53.8 per cent of the overall 
expenses of the college. 



The Millsaps president con- 
cluded that, although he knew 
it would be difficult, he hoped 
that Millsaps would not lose 
one student because of the 
tuition increase. He empha- 
sized, also, that he felt that 
letting the quality of Millsaps 
slide would lose more stu- 
dents than would a raise in 
tuition.

4 That was love at first 
hearing !" 

And that, a description of a 
whirlwind (six week!) court- 
ship with his wife, Jeanne, is 
typical of the spontaneous wit 
of Roger Beasley, a 6* 2", 215 
pound sophomore on the Mill- 
saps Campus. 

Living in the Old Presi- 
dent's Home with his wife and 
two-year-old son, Dale, Roger 
is a psychology major and 
certainly one of the most in- 
dustrious men on our cam- 
pus. 

Originally from Buckatunna 
(and that is in Mississippi, 
he says), the nine - year - old 
Roger Beasley lost his right 
eye in an accident. Sev- 
en years later, soon after he 
had begun his junior year in 
high school, Roger lost his 
left eye in a hunting accident. 

Such a freak turn of events 
could have proved catastropic 
for some people, but looking 
back, Roger comments, "I 
think it has made a more 
well-rounded man out of me. 
A person doesn't see with 
their eyes; they see with their 
mind and heart." 

Immediately after the hunt- 
ing accident, says Roger, 44 I 



got in touch with a rehabilita- 
tion counselor for the blind in 

Little Rock, Arkansas." Six 
months in Little Rock, and 
then he was back to finish 
high school, on time, at the 
Mississippi School for the 
Blind. 

As a matter of fact, 
May, 1964, found Roger Beas- 
ley the recipient of a medal 
for the highest average in the 
senior class. "After I was 
blind," he says, "my motiva- 
tion to study was greater. I 
really learn now instead of 
cruising by." 

Having lifted weights in Lit- 
tle Rock, Roger was an active 
track man at. the Mississippi 
School for the Blind. He per- 
formed the throw, shot put, 
and two mile tandum run. 

In pursuing his vision of the 
44 well - rounded man," Roger 
entered Millsaps in the fall of 
1964. Philosophy, abnormal 
psychology, motivation, and 
geology prresently make up 
his curriculum. And he can 
still be found working out with 
weights in the gym, too. 

Graduate work at LSU or 
the University of Alabama 
are in Roger's hopeful plans 
for the not-so-distant future. 
Marriage counseling and the 



Baptist ministry are his even- 
tual goals. 

When asked whether or not 
his loss of sight increased his 
perception in other areas, 
Roger replied that, "You can 
tell a lot by a person's voice 
. . .you can tell whether they 
are happy or well adjusted." 
Certainly this sharpened 
awareness, and insight, will 
be a valuable tool in his chos- 
en professions. 

With such ambitious and 
busy plans, Roger replied to 
questions about outside inter- 
ests that, "My family is my 
hobby." And what a busy hob- 
by that is! Roger and Jeanne 
have apparently decided that 
it is so worthwhile that the 
time has come to branch out 
again. Says Roger, 4 4 We're ex- 
pecting another one in Janu- 
ary." 



FROM the time an infant 
tries to get his toes in his

struggle to make both ends 
meet.

Social Notes .... 



Long-Awaited Day Finally Arrives; 
Parties Here, There, Everywhere 



By EMILY COMPTON 
SOCIETY EDITOR 

Beat Livingston! 

Happy Homecoming! (And, 
just about a week late, Happy 
Halloween, too! It was great 
to have two Halloweens this 
year — one last Friday in Jack- 
son, Mississippi, and one last 
Saturday in the rest of the 
United States. Twice as much 
candy for us and the other 
kids! 

Saturday is the day all have 
been looking forward to. Be 
sure to participate in all the 
planned activities (and some 
not so planned, too!). Among 
these are the variety show at 
12:45 in the cafeteria, the 
football game (The identity of 
the queen will be revealed 
during the halftime activities. 
Congratulations to Dot Bos- 
well, Emily Compton, Susan 
Duquette, K a t h y Hymers, 
and Penny Sanders, members 
of the homecoming court!), 
reunions and open houses at 
4:30, a presentation of "The 
Crucible" at 8:15, and the 
homecoming dance at 9 p.m. 

Now to catch up on the so- 
cial news for the last two 
weeks. . . 

Congratulations to Ward 
Van Skiver, the 1965-66 Chi O 
Owl Man! Ward was honored 
at the Chi O party Friday, Oc- 
tober 22, at the Shady Oaks 
Country Club. (We might add 
that we hope Mr. Eugene 
Countiss won't give up after 
four losses— there is always 
next year!) 

The KD's honored their 



pledge class with a party at 
the Knights of Columbus lodge 
Saturday, October 23. The 
KA's had a barbeque supper 
and a dance after the Mill- 
saps-Maryville game, Friday, 
October 29. And there were 
quite a few parties Saturday 
after the Ole Miss-LSU and 
Miss. State-Alabama games — 
like the colossal Battle of the 
Bands featuring the Ganls 
and the Gentrys. (Of course 
we wouldn't know as we were 
working on the phones in the 
dormitory that night!!) 

Belated special congratula- 
tions to Clyde Mike Moore, 
this year's first recipient of 
the famous Silver Beaver 
Award. Although only a fresh- 
man, Clyde was selected for 
the honor because of his out- 
standing record. 

Congratulations to Cindy 
Shell, freshman Phi Mu 
pledge from Laurel, and Hon 
nie Whaley, freshman Lamb- 
da Chi pledge from Brookha- 
ven; to Diane Leggett, fresh- 
man Phi Mu pledge from 
Biloxi and Jerry Chapman, 
sophomore Lambda Chi 
pledge from Brandon; to Ter- 
rianne Walters, freshman KD 
pledge from Midnight, and 
Lynn McMahon, sophomore 
KA from Hattiesburg; and to 
Laura Trent, Chattanooga, 
Tennessee senior, and Randy 
Turner, Pike pledge from 
Walnut Grove, who are all 
dropped! (We're exhausted*) 

Special congratulations to 
Mebbie Davidson, sophomore 
Chi O from Joneborough,

If you think the faculty is 
not interested in the students, 
just read this: One Freddy 
Davis jokingly "stuffed" Dr. 
Horan's little green car with 
hay. So not to be outdone, 
Dr. Horan set his alarm for 
5:30 the next morning ("Ex- 
cited as a little boy on Christ- 
mas morning, he woke up at 
4:30 A.M.") and proceeded to 
decorate Mr. Davis's little 
blue car* with shaving cream!! 

We hope we haven't left 
anything out this time. Per- 
haps now would be a good 
time to give our words of wis- 
dom, nine weeks is almost 
upon us — study hard and 
make those grades now!! 

Next time you go in the 
grill, put a nickle in the juke- 
box and push button number 
91, "A Lifetime of Lonliness" 
for the pick-hit of the week. 
It's great — but be sure we 
are in there when you do it.

Field Trip Undertaken 
By Anxious Geologists 



By J. K. SMITH 

On the afternoon of October 
22, nine members of the Ge- 
ology of Mississippi class and 
Dr. Priddy, head of the Geolo- 
gy department, gathered be- 
hind Sullivan-Harrell Hall, the 
place of embarkation for a 
two - day field trip through 
East Mississippi and adjacent 
Alabama. As the group gath- 
ered their belongings, along 
with a supply of boxes, nap- 
sacks, picks, hammers, and 
the like, anticipation was evi- 
dent. 

After watching the weather 
change back and forth for a 
week, it appeared that once 
again, as has been the case 
many times before, the long 
field trip would be hampered 
by rain. The skies were gray 
and mists of dampness filled 
the hollow over the football 
field. As the procession left 
town, droplets of rain 
spattered on the windshield. 

Proceeding from Jackson to 
Canton and then to Philadel- 
phia, the group viewed seven 
different layers of beds which 
had been deposited in Missis- 
sippi during pre - historic 
times. Older beds were en- 
countered as the group pro- 
ceeded east. Near Philadel- 
phia, Dr. Priddy pointed out 
features of interest, and 
related his own experiences 
to the class. Outstanding fea- 
tures noted were faults, flood 
plains, conspicuous beds, and 
an anticline. 

Proceeding east of Scooba 
into Alabama, the group col- 
lected fossils from the Selma 
Chalk of the Cretaceous pe- 
riod. Using the different fos- 
sils as indices they were able 
to determine the younger beds 
from the older ones, as dusk 
settled over the air. 

Night overtook the search- 
ers here and they travelled to 
Meridian where they spent a 
welcome if not restful night. 
Dr. Priddy, however, assem- 
bled the crew at 6:00 Satur- 
day morning and, after a 



hearty breakfast, they set out 
for their first site. 

The first stop, just north of 
Meridian, found the budding 
geologists collecting large 
shells and sharks' teeth from 
an ancient reef. Turning 
southeast toward Alabama, 
several other stops were 
made to collect shells of the 
same type. Continuing south, 
progressively younger forma- 
tions were encountered, along 
with a line of faults which ex- 
posed underlying formations. 

Stopping three more times 
to collect fossils, the class 
then treked to Waynesboro for 
lunch before bypassing Lau- 
rel in the afternoon en route 
to Heidelberg where an oil 
field was noted and its oc- 
curence explained. 

The last stop of the day 
and highlight of the entire trip 
was at Enterprise. The still- 
interested students, no longer 
eager, faced a forty-foot hill 
covered with Kudzu. Mack 
Varner led a charge up the 
hill, only to be spilled and 
stretched out by a covered- 
up log. If this was not enough 
he found a cut along a rail- 
road track, just as high and 
twice as steep. Deciding col- 
lecting would be better at the 
bottom, down he went. He 
spent most of the stop trying 
to get out. 

The class found an abun- 
dance of sanddollars and 
shells embedded in marl and 
went to work. At this point, 
though, the ants went to work, 
also, as they didn't like geolo- 
gy students digging in their 
houses. 

By dusk everyone was 
ready to head for home. So 
the tired rockhounds flocked 
back to the cars. The trip 
ended Saturday at 8 p.m. on 
the Millsaps campus. 

Students making the trip 
were Mary Fairfax, Mary 
Woodriff, Lester Furr, Mack 
Varner, Steve Whatley, 
Charles Hallford, Torrey Cur- 
tis, Wayne Heidelburg, and 
James Smith. 



Science Assistants, Profs 
Resume Studies Of Loess 



Eight assistants, Professor 
Galloway, and Dr. Priddy 
have resumed studies of the 
loess deposits in the Vicks- 
burg area. 

This is the sixth year of the 
project, which is designed to 
guide students in research and 
to teach the students of sev- 
eral disciplines how research 
in several fields may overlap. 

This year, the five Geology

assistants, Steve Whatley, 
Wayne Heidelberg, Mary 
Woodruff, Lester Furr, and 
Charles Hallford have re- 
sumed collecting materials 
for dating the several ho- 
rizons of the loess. The loess 
is a peculiar windblown de- 
posit which had its source in 
the lowlands of the Mississip- 
pi River, at several intervals 
in the last one million years 
the material collected in one 
to five blankets on the hills 
overlooking the Millsaps Riv- 
er bottoms. The deposits at 
Vicksburg represent a small 
part of the continuous deposit 
from Natchez to Vicksburg, 
to Yazoo City, to Memphis, 
and to Paducah, Kentucky. 

This fine material is better 
known to Millsaps students 
than to any other group of re- 
searchers because of our con- 
tinued interdisciplinary study.

First I would like to say 
"congratulations" to the Ma- 
jors, for the good game with 
Southwestern. That win sure 
looks good after so long with- 
out one. 

Everyone played a good 
game, but, as always, there 
were stand-outs. Jerry Hus- 
key picked up 65 yards in 11 
carries for the Majors to lead 
the ground attack. Dan Neely 
added 61 on the ground, Ger- 
ald Robbins threw in 47 more, 
and Troy Lee Jenkins added 
another 46. 

Neely was in the groove 
passing again as he connected 
with Massey and Jenkins for 
a total of 57 yards. 

The offensive attack com- 
bined with key recovery of 
fumbles by Timmie Millis and 
Tommy Burns plus an over- 
all great defensive effort set 
the Majors on the way to vic- 
tory. 

We should also compliment 
Paul Richardson and Gerald 
Robbins on their kicking in 
the Southwestern game. 

The winning streak was fine 
as long as it lasted, but that 
wasn't long. I have heard sev- 
eral opinions on what hap- 
pened, and all these were by 
people who saw the game. 

From what I see, we were 
just out-played. Harding led 
in everything but penalties 
and passing yardage. The 
Majors, not able to get an at- 
tack going, or rather, keep 
one going, slipped back into 
the loss column. Again. 

This is past and done, so 
lefs look ahead to the future. 
Homecoming will be this Sat- 
urday, and we hope the Major 
will make a good showing in 
that game against Livingston. 
Come on, boys, let's have a 
win for all the alumni who 
will be on campus. It wouldn't 
hurt our record, either. 

A win at Homecoming could 
be our third this year, as 
we should have beat Maryville 
since they have not won a 
game all year. Let's all go to 
the game Saturday and fill the 
stands. It will be our last 
home game, so let's give the 
boys support. 



It seems as if I got in trou- 
ble with my predictions for 
the major colleges. State lost 
the last two and Ole Miss 
WON TWO. This knocks State 
out of the race for the S.E.C. 
crown, but I also noticed 
where Georgia bowed to 
Kentucky. 

Looks like I was right on 
one count, though, as South- 
ern is still winning, having 
added two more wins, includ- 
ing the upset over Auburn. 

Another team doing real 
good is Delta State, who 
stretched its win streak to 7 
straight, without a loss. 

I see M. C. is losing again. 

Basketball starts before 
long, and we will be looking 
for a change in action. Maybe 
the outlook will be better in 
another sport. 



Loess Studies . . . 

(Continued from page 12) 
At various times, Millsaps' 
botanists, chemists, physicists, 
mathematicians, and zoologists 
have aided the assistants in 
the Geology Department in the 
study. 

This October, Professor 
Galloway's three assistants, 
Ben Nichols, Tom Rhoden, 
and Charles Williamson, have 
determined a new method for 
differentiating the s e v e r a I 
blankets of loess, which were 
collected last year as samples 
from holes varying in depth 
from 25 to 108 feet. The Phys- 
ics majors utilize a very 
strong magnet which pulls out 
the tiny grains of magnetite 
from the rest of the loess. 
This magnetite is highly con- 
centrated in soil zones de- 
veloped during periods of non- 
loess deposition. 

This October the five Geolo- 
gy assistants and Dr. Priddy 
have been collecting snails 
and bones from several of the 
beds of loess and fragments 
of "charcoal" which are con- 
centrated in several soil hori- 
zons. When analyzed for ra- 
dioactive carbon content the 
ages of the loess and soils are 
determined.

Livingston Is Foe 
For Homecoming Tilt 



By TOMMY DAVIS 

Millsaps closes out its 1965 
home schedule this Saturday 
when the Majors play host to 
Livingston State. The foot- 
ball game will be the main at- 
traction of the weekend's 
homecoming festivities. 

Coach Harper Davis said 
that Livingston State is the 
biggest team that we have 
found all year. They run a 
pro type offense with an oc- 
casional use of the shotgun 
type formation. 

Corwell Rowell is Living- 
ston's 6'1", 210 lb. Quarter- 
back. Rowell is described as 
a hard runner and a good 
passer. He has been among 
the top twenty in small col- 
lege ratings as a passer and 
leader of total offense all 
year. 

Bill Johnson is Rowell's fa- 



vorite receiver. He has also 
been ranked in the top twenty 
for his punting average. Gail 
Robinson, who hurt us last 
year with his long runs, is 
back again this year. He 
played previously at East Mis- 
sissippi Jr. College. 

So far this year Livingston 
State has lost to Arkansas A& 
M 8-10 and South Arkansas 
14-21. They have beaten Troy 
32-12 and Maryville 30-0. This 
Maryville score might give 
you some indication as to how 
the Majors would like to re- 
cord a victory in their last 
home game of the season. Es- 
pecially since it will be home- 
coming, we believe that the 
fighting Majors of Millsaps 
College will have the advant- 
age this Saturday. Let's pack 
the pews and support our 
team.

Mens Intramural Volleyball In Last Round 
As Final Week Of Play Draws To A Close 



By REID BINGHAM 

The KA's lead was streng- 
thened last week when the 
Lambda Chi's downed Kappa 
Sigma in a hard fought con- 
test. The Sigs, however, still 
held on to their second place 
spot. 

In the first game three 
weeks ago the KA's easily 
handled the Pikes 21-8 and 
21-9 behind the work of Tom- 
my Davis and Ward Van 
Skiver. Gray Hillsman, Jim- 
my Williams, and the form(?) 
of Bill Lamb were standouts 
for the Pikes.

Next Kappa Sigma downed 
a determined Independent 
team. The Independents won 
the first game 22-20, but the 
Sigs came back to take the 
last two games 21-8 and 21-18. 
Doug Greene and George Wil- 
liamson were the big men for 
the Sigs while Ronny Hus- 
band made some excellent 
plays sparking the Independ- 
ents. Later that night the 
Lambda Chi's defeated the 
Pikes after the Pikes won the 
first round 21-17. The Lamb- 
da's came back to take the 
last two 21-12 and 21-12. Jerry 
Duck and David Powers of 
the Chi's proved to be too 
much for the Pikes. 

In the first game of last 
week the Lambda Chi's de- 
feated a stubborn Sig team 
in a three round game. Be- 
hind the fast and deadly 
spiking of David Powers and 
Jerry Duck the Chi's won the 
first game 21-14. In the second 
round the Sig attack clicked 
and came up with a quick 
21-5 win. However in the third 
round of a highly contested 
game the Lambda Chi's 
squeeze out a seesaw battle 
21-17 for the victory. 

Tuesday night saw the KA's 
beat a sluggish Lambda Chi 



team but with some trouble. 
The Chi's won the first game 
23-21. After the first game 
though, the Lambda's just 
could not get their offence 
started and lost 21-16 and 21- 
9. Van Skiver and Davis were 
again the KA standouts. The 
second game of the night saw 
the Independents go the way 
of the Lambda Chi's at the 
hands of the Pikes. The Pikes 
were forced to come back and 
take the last two rounds of 
a seesaw contest to overcome 
the Independents. 

In the last game of the 
week the Sigs polished off the 
Pikes 21-8 and 21-5. Frank Mc 
Eachern and Randy Bennett 
stood out for the Sigs. 

At the end of four weeks the 
standings are as follows:

Women's Intramural Volleyball Is Started 



By MARY FAIRFAX 

Tennis is almost finished 
and volleyball has begun! 
Singles in tennis have reached 
the quarter finals while dou- 
bles participants are in semi- 
fainals. 

Volleyball got off to a bang 
last Monday. Zeta Tau Alpha 
was whipped by last 
year's winners, the Inde- 
pendent Women 15-13, 15-3. 
Mary Desha Dye led the 
Zeta's. Rita Hollings worth, 
who is new at Millsaps this 
year, led the team on to win. 

Kappa Delta bowed out to 
the Chi Omega's Tuesday 15- 
1, 15-3. Virginia Anne Jones 
and Estelle Noel led the Owls 
for points. Mebbie Davidson 
was in there too. 

The third game played last 
week was a little more con- 
tested. The Zetas gave their 
competition a hard time, but 
the Phi Mu's came back to 
win in three. The winners 
squeezed by the first game 
15-13 and lost the second to 
the Zeta's 15-7. Phi Mu came 
back to take the series by 
15 - 2 in the 



The second week of Wom- 
en's Volleyball saw the Chi's

The answer to the growing 
college admissions crisis may 
lie in the booming increase in 
the number of two-year jun- 
ior colleges. There are 719 
such schools at present, notes 
Reader's Digest, with 20 to 30 
new ones opening each year. 
With present total enrollment 
of more than a million, the 
junior colleges are helping to 
relieve the pressure placed on 
America's four-year colleges 
by the enormous demand for 
higher education.

Harding Down Majors 
With Running Attack 



By JIMMY GENTRY 

SEARCY, Ark — Unleashing 
a powerful running attack, 
Harding College capped their 
homecoming festivities by de- 
feating the Majors 14-0 here 
Saturday. 

With Jim Howard and Gail 
Mote doing most of the run- 
ning the Bisons scored in the 
first and third quarters. 
Howard gained 140 yards on 
25 carries and Mote picked 
up 96 yards in 27 tries. 

Harding got their first score 
with 3:20 left in the first quar- 
ter when they drove 80 yards 
with Mote running nine yards 
for the touchdown. Donnie 
Cox kicked the extra point. 

During the half Millsaps 
drove inside the Harding 20 
but was forced back by pen- 
alties. The Bisons drove into 
the Majors' 20 twice but were 
held by the Millsaps defense. 

Field goal attempts by 



Paul Richardson of Millsaps 
of 33 yards and Cox for 34 
yards out were off to the 
right. 

The Bisons scored in the 
second half when Howard 
broke loose for a 43 yard 
jaunt to paydirt with 5:35 left 
in the third quarter. The snap 
from center on the PAT 
attempt was fumbled and Cox 
ran for the conversion. How- 
ever, the game was played un- 
der Arkansas Intercollegiate 
Conference rules which allows 
only one extra point per 
touchdown making the final 
score 14-0.

Five Men Hold Down 
Middle Of Major Line 



By CHRIS KELLY 

The Millsaps Majors have 
the solid support this year of 
a group of fine guards. 

Tommy Burns, 6', 180 lbs., 
from West Point is playing his 
second year of Millsaps foot- 
ball. He is being used ex- 
clusively in the offensive right 
guard position and Coach Da- 
vis is proud of his "hustling" 
ability. A geology major, 
Burns has also excelled in his 
studies, and he made the 
Dean's List last spring. Tom- 
my is a member of Kap- 
pa Sigma Fraternity. 

Jack Jones, a junior from 
McComb, earned letters at 
McComb High School and 
Southwest Junior College 
where he was chosen for the 
All State Junior College team. 
At 6', 200 lbs., he has been 
playing offensive right guard, 
and occasionally he has been 
used on spot plays as de- 
fensive guard. Coach Da- 
vis praised Jones as an out- 
standing blocker. Jack is ma- 
joring in Business Adminis- 
tration. 

Timmy Millis, a junior, 6', 
200 lbs. from Mendenhall, at- 
tended Mendenhall High 
School, lettering three years 
in football and two years in 
basketball. Before coming to 



Millsaps he played two years 
at Copiah - Lincoln Junior 
College, and was selected for 
the All state Junior College 
team. Playing left linebacker 
and offensive left guard, Mil- 
lis was praised by Coach Da- 
vis as a ballhawk who leads 
the team in solo tackles. 

David Martin, a freshman 
from Columbus, has been al- 
ternating between defensive 
left guard and offensive left 
guard for the Majors, at 5' 11" 
190 lbs. David lettered two 
years in football at Lee High 
School. Coach Davis regards 
Martin as our outstanding 
freshman football player who 
has a lot of pride in his work. 
David is studying liberal arts. 

George Self, 5'11'\ 200 lbs., 
is a freshman from New Al- 
bany, He is being used on 
the punting and kickoff teams 
and Coach Davis praises him 
as one of the first down the 
field. George plans to major 
in Biology. 



Since the end of World War 
II, the United States has spent 
a total of more than 100 bil- 
lion dollars on foreign aid, 
reports the October Reader's

lion dollars yearly. 





THE FABULOUS MILLSAPS NON-MARCHING BAND 



Lambda Chi Actives Beat Their Pledges 



By J. K. SMITH 

The actives of Lambda Chi 
Alpha defeated the pledges 
16-8 in the annual pledge-ac- 
tive football game Sunday aft- 
ernoon October 24 at the 
Alumni Field. 

Amid protest from the 
pledges the final score was in 
favor of the actives who pro- 
vided the referees for the 
game. Serving most capably 
in this position were Ronald 
Goodbread and Charles Var- 
ner. 



The actives took the lead 
early in the game as Frank 
Wells threw to Jerry Duck for 
the touchdown. Jim Carroll 
carried it over for two points 
and they led 8-0. 

Not to be outdone the 
pledges fought back to tie it 
up as Tom Stewart scored the 
TD and Mark Matheny passed 
to Felix Pavy for an extra 
two. 

The actives came back with 
a second touchdown as Frank 
Wells carried it over from the

five. The PAT failed as Jim 
Carroll was downed short of 
the goal. The final two points 
were added when the actives 
downed Matheny in his 
end zone for a safety. 

The pledges again came 
back when Matheny took it 
over late in the forth quar- 
ter. The pass to Pavy was in- 
complete and this ended the 
scoring. 

A question on the last play 
of the game killed the pledges' 
hopes of the game, as Mark 
Matheny connected with Ron- 
nie W h a 1 e y. One referee 
called it a touchdown, the oth- 
er an illegal play. The ruling 
went in favor of the actives. 

So amid cries of fraud and 
biased referees the hard 
fought battle ended for anoth- 
er year, the actives as vic- 
tors.

Kathy Hymers Chosen Queen; 
Homecoming Highlights Told 



PR RELEASE 

Kathy Hymers, senior from 
Jackson, Tennessee, was 
crowned queen of the 1965 
Millsaps homecoming celebra- 
tion by President Benjamin 
B. Graves during half time of 
the Millsaps-Livingston State 
football game. 

Miss Hymers was chosen 
from a court of five young 
ladies selected by the student 
body. Selection of the queen, 
a senior education major, was 
made by the football team 
and the M Club. 

Maids in Miss Hymers' 
court included Dot Bos well, 



senior from Jackson; Emily 
Compton, junior from Vicks- 
burg; Susan Duquette, sopho- 
more from Somerville, Ten- 
nessee; and Penny Sanders, 
sophomore from Greenwood. 

Millsaps Alumni attending 
the Homecoming banquet at 
the College Saturday night 
were told that the challenge 
of the near future will be a 
struggle with mediocrity. 

Millsaps President Benja- 
min B. Graves said that the 
American society pattern of 
"a great band in the middle, 
a narrow band at the top, 
and a somewhat wider band 



at the bottom' * would be af- 
fected by the Computer Age. 
"Where is the mediocre man 
going to fit into this knowl- 
edge-oriented economy of the 
future?" he asked.

Choir will present as its 
first concert of the year 
Schubert's Mass in E Flat, 
Sunday, November 14. The 
program, to be given in 
the Christian Center, will 
begin at 4 p. m. 

The composition, which 
is primarily a choral work, 
has been called "the most 



Sunday Concert 

imposing and most in 
gratiating of Schubert's re- 
ligious pieces." 

Composed in June and 
July, 1828, this is the sixth 
of the masses written by 



The concert, under the 
direction of Leland Byler, 
is open to the 
of charge. 



Mr. Paul Hardin, registrar, 
said the school is depending 
upon students this year since 
his office is sending few invi- 
tations. 

The purpose of High School 
Day is to acquaint prospec- 
tive Millsaps students with 
the college. It is a good op- 
portunity to get good students 
interested in Millsaps. 

Chairmen of the various 
committees are as follows:

On Parking Restrictions 



A number of suggestions have been 
listed by the Millsaps student commit- 
tee on parking, and they are included 
in this issue of the P&W. Some of them 
are probably not going to be very 
popular with students. 

The Purple and White hopes that 
parking regulations are enforced, and 
enforced tightly, this year at Millsaps. 
With an increased enrollment, with the 
loss of the large Franklin parking lot 
due to construction of a new dormi- 
tory, and because of the large number 
of night students on campus, Millsaps 
always seems to have more traffic than 
it needs. 

The PURPLE AND WHITE sees no 
need for students to drive their cars 
across campus for every class or for 
every meal. When it's raining or in 
some other special instance, we cer- 
tainly advocate the use of an auto, but 
a good walk on a pretty day rarely 
hurts anybody. 

We also feel that parking officials 
should "crack down" on students who 
show little regard for their fellow stu- 
dents in their choice of parking spots. 
We can point particularly to the area 
in front of Ezelle Hall, where students 
still don't hesitate to deliberately fence 



in other cars by parking in the middle 
of the drive, and in front of Burton 
Hall where "conveniently placed* ' autos 
suddenly turn two-way traffic into one- 
way traffic almost before the driver 
can realize it. 

As for the situation in front of Ezelle, 
there is nothing more harmful to the 
school than when a student parked il- 
legally blocks in a visiting mother or 
father. At Burton we've seen several 
near wrecks, and when one does occur 
the owner of that illegally parked car 
had better have some good insurance 
because he is indeed going to shoulder 
the blame. 

These instances aren't isolated. The 
entire campus is crowded with vehicles 
and some order has got to be main- 
tained. 

The automobile is a wonderful inven- 
tion, full of conveniences. However, 
drivers must have respect for the con- 
veninces of others. The PURPLE and 
WHITE suggests (1) the new parking 
suggestions be taken seriously by stu- 
dents, (2) the above-mentioned areas 
be "cleared of crime", and (3) stu- 
dents, in general, work together to 
erase parking difficulties at Millsaps. 



Finance Committee Report 
Highlights Senate Meeting 



By MARIE SMITH 

SEB Treasurer Polly De- 
ment submitted for approval 
the Finance Committee's pro- 
posed budget for the fall se- 
mester of 1965 as the high- 
light at Student Senate Tues- 
day, November 2. 

A total of $6,403.83 has been 
granted for student activity 
allocations. Polly stated that 
by an agreement made be- 
tween the SEB and the Pub- 
lication Board last spring, 
with the approval of Dean 
Christmas, 90% of these 
funds shall automatically go 
to the publications — Boba- 
shela, Purple and White, and 
Stylus. 

She pointed out that the al- 
lotment for the publications 
in previous years has been as 
high as 99% of the total al- 
locations. The Publications 
Board shall assume responsi- 
bility for allocating the 
$5,763.45 total into three 
parts. 

The remaining 10% was 
distributed in the following 
way: Christian Council was 
allotted $165, which was di- 
vided among the various 
Christian organizations. MSM 
received $40; Christian Coun- 
cil itself, $25; Women Chris- 
tian Workers, $15; Ministerial 
League, $60; Disciples Stu- 
dent Fellowship, $15; and 
YWCA, with a present balance 
of $105.80 requested only 
$8 40. Entertainment Fund 
has a balance of $313. SEB 
was allotted $475.38, which 
erases the deficit of $461.57, 
leaving a balance of only 
$13.81. 

Members of the Finance 
Committee are Mark 
Matheny, Jeanne Burnet, 
Jim Gabbert, Cindy Felder, 
Mrs. McMullan, and Miss 



Moorehead. Student Senate 
unanimously adopted the pro- 
posed budget. 

President Adams next an- 
nounced the outcome of sev- 
eral weeks of discussion about 
Homecoming, the dance in 
particular. He said that the 
administration, while respect- 
ing the students' wishes, felt 
that there was too much dan- 
ger involved in having the 
dance off campus. The presi- 
dent concluded that on the 
very strong recommendation 
of the administration, Mill- 
saps' Homecoming dance 
would be held in the cafeteria. 

Adams added that because 
Student Senate had over- 
stepped its bounds in this mat- 
ter without knowing it, he 
plans to create a joint stu- 
dent and administration com- 
mittee to deal with all cam- 
pus activities. 

Senator Mayfield announced 
the details for Homecoming 
and the escorts for the maids. 
The maids and escorts were 
as follows: Dot Boswell — 
Larry Adams, SEB president; 
Kathy Hymer — Jimmy Gentry, 
Senior class president; Susan 
Duquette—Bill Mayfield, Jun- 
ior class president ; Emily 
Compton— Dan McKee, Junior 
class vice president; Penny 
Sanders — Mark Matheny, 



Sophomore class president. 

Senator Mayfield added 
that the maids would be 
brought out in five converti- 
bles, while Ronald Goodbread 
told something about each 
one. The queen would be an- 
nounced at halftime and Pres- 
ident Graves would perform 
the crowning ceremonies. He 
said Millsaps' "non-marching 
band" had consented to pro- 
vide music for the occasion. 

Vice President Jerry Duck 
announced that WSGA 
planned to sponsor an elec- 
tion for best dressed Millsaps 
woman November 16. The 
procedure will be similar to 
that in electing the Homecom- 
ing Court— a petition must be 
submitted to place a name in 
nomination; then the student 
body will vote. 

Vice President Duck said 
that the Special Entertain- 
ment committee needed a sec- 
retary. He asked Student Sen- 
ators to contact him if they 
knew of anyone who would be 
interested in the job. The vice 
president added that it would 
involve a great deal of com- 
munication with other schools. 

Senator Bundy, freshman 
class vice-president, gave a 
report on plans for High 
School Day, which is sched- 
uled for November 20. 



IDEAS 



AND 

OPINIONS 




by 

Shattuck 



Homecoming 1965 is history 
—congratulations go out to 
queen Kathy Hymers and her 
court and congratulations al- 
so are due Brigadier General 
Blount, alumnus of the year 
for 1965. 



Our apologies are due Lee 
McCormick who contributed 
greatly to last week's home- 
coming issue of the P&W 
with a pair of fine photo- 
graphs and to whom we ac- 
cidently gave no credit in the 
issue. Lee shot both football 
photos from the Millsaps— 
Maryville game. 



Alabama, Kentucky, Florida, 
Auburn, LSU, Mississippi, 
Mississippi State, and Ten- 
nessee could all battle Michi- 
gan State, the nation's num- 
ber one team, down to the 
wire. Rather than having an 
off year as some believe, this 
editor feels the SEC is strong- 
er than ever and would have 
the number one team if each 
good squad didn't have to 
play each other. 



Poor Ronald Goodbread, 
our very popular Symposium 
columnist, has really had 
things tough. First he had to 
ease up for the homecoming 
issue— now, because a forth- 
coming paper is slated to be 
mailed to thousands of alum- 
ni, we've encouraged another 
"go easy essay." 

This week, however, Ron 
had no such limitations im- 
posed upon his talented (and 
poisonous?) writings. Read 
Symposium — you might not 
agree but we'll bet you will 
be entertained. 



•If you'd like to hear one of 
the world's outstanding vio- 
linists and, in addition, sup- 
port the Millsaps Singers, 
plan to attend Friday night's 
Christian Center Concert by 
Frederic Balazs. This is a 
wonderful opportunity for stu- 
dents to hear and see a fa- 
mous musician at a minimum 
admission cost. 



While we're making apolo- 
gies, we also must apologize 
to Emily Compton and Susan 
Duquette, whose names ap- 
peared beneath the wrong 
photos in the last issue. For 
this mistake, we are very sor- 
ry. 



Just a brief note to the 
waterbag throwers on the 
third floor of Ezelle Dormi- 
tory. We know from experi- 
ence (We used to live up 
there!) that such games can 
be fun, but please start get- 
ting a "scout" to remove the 
spectacles from any would-be 
victims wearing such. $40 bills 
for a new pair could spoil a 
lot of parties! 



This is the first football 
season in six years that we 
haven't been writing in a 
sports capacity for some 
newspaper and during which 
we haven't been forecasting 
football contests. This was a 
good year to be off the spot. 
The Southeastern Conference 
has never been so jumbled at 
any time in our memory. 

Personally (and we'll ad- 
mit to prejudice) we think 



Next week will be the last 
issue of the PURPLE AND 
WHITE until after the 
Thanksgiving Holidays. Any 
persons desiring any type of 
news publicized regarding 
anything which might be hap- 
pening up until December 9 
should contact this editor or 
a member of the PURPLE 
AND WHITE staff as soon as 
possible in order that that 
news might get in the Decem- 
ber 9 issue. 

We have five more papers 
for the semester: next week, 
two papers in December, and 
another pair in January.

Symposium . . . 



Women, Conservatives, Republicans, Greek Greeks— Horrors ! ! 



! 



By RONALD GOODBREAD 
Symposium Editor 

The opening sentence in a 
biography of John C. Calhoun 
I read recently (with which I 
could not agree more) reads 
as follows: "President An- 
drew Jackson regretted to his 
dying day that he did not 
hang John C. Calhoun." 

I sometimes think that 
some of my "friends" may 
harbour these same senti- 
ments about the present 
writer and furthermore, that 
they may take action this 
week. For it is that time 
again. There are some things 
that need to be pointed out. 
So "Let's look at the record." 
L FEMALE FINANCE 

Of all the poorly-planned, 
ill-fated, bungling, irresponsi- 
ble things I have ever en- 
countered in student govern- 
ment, what has been done to 
our Finance Committee has 
revolted me beyond all en- 
durance that I may have been 
able to put up so far. How in 
the world could our beloved 
Treasurer get away with ap- 
pointing five (count 'em five) 
women to the Finance Com- 
mittee? And only two men! 

This is absolutely out- 
rageous. I cannot understand 
why our usually far-seeing 
and competent President al- 
lowed such a thing to occur. 
Five women! Five political 
cows in a China shop of gov- 
ernmental finance! What 
tragedy! Is there no end to 
the suffering that voiceless 
observers in the government 
must endure. Five women! 
And every one of them with 
any competence whatsoever 
could be crowded into a tele- 
phone booth. The rest I 
wouldn't trust as far as I 
could throw a hot anvil as 
far as administrative ability 
goes. Well, on second thought 
I might trust them that far. 

When President Benjamin 
Harrison's Secretary of the 
Treasury took office he said 
of the abundant financial sit- 
uation of the federal govern- 
ment, "God help the sur- 
plus!" All I have to say in re- 
gard to this situation is for 
God to at least save us a 
deficit. 

II. LIBERALS, LINDSAY 
AND LOOSERS 

Well he did it. In spite of 
the rotten conservative 
treachery perpetrated in New 
York City, John Lindsay won. 
The closed-minded ni t w i t s 
who made a hollow, shabby 
wreck of the Republican Par- 
ty in 1964, presented a show 
of disgusting hooliganism and 
backwoods manners at that 
shambles they made of the 
San Francisco convention last 
year and transformed the Re- 
publican Party into the party 
of "Riots, Reactionism and 
Rebellion," have received an- 
other all-to-well-deserved kick 
in their vicious fangs. And 
the more I hear the Tom 
Etheridges and Jimmy Wards 
decry it, the better I feel 
about it. 

William F. Buckley entered 
the race with the sole intent, 
he said, to drain off potential 
Republican and conservative 
support from Congressman 
Lindsay and thus to insure 
his defeat. 



Because the young liberal 
did not support the Mad Hat- 
ter of Phoenix for President 
last year (heaven forbid!) the 
poor sports, still suffering and 
confused from their own mis- 
calculations of the American 
nation and Goldbricker's corn- 
b a 1 1, singular, monotonous, 
wish-washy statements, could 
not stand for one of the "rea- 
sonable" party members to 
win instead. How confusing it 
must have been to their sim- 
ple, clear-cut, black-and-white 
minds. 

William Buckley was a man 
with both feet planted firmly 
in the air, as opposed to his 
would - be - presidential hero 
who had them both planted 
firmly in his constantly flap- 
ping double - talking mouth. 
Not content to have his rustic 
cause buried under 42 million 
ballots, he went out and in a 
confused and frustrated cam- 
paign asked for more of the 
same. 

The good voters of my old 
home town and birthplace 
gladly and politely gave it to 
him. His great goal: 20% of 
the vote. (How noble for a 
cause he knew "in his heart 
was right.") Well, he got 13%. 
What a shame. Another set- 
back (just as if he and the 
conservatives ever contem- 
plated for a split second any 
step forward). 

But again in defeat the con- 
servatives are undaunted in 
their constantly seething ef- 
fort to ruin a once-Grand Old 
Party. "If at first you don't 
succeed, smear, smear 
again." I am reminded of 
what the polio-stricken Presi- 
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt 
said about these type of peo- 
ple: "A conservative is a man 
with two good legs who has 
never learned to walk." 

The Democratic Party to- 
day is as much the party of 
the common man as it has al- 
ways claimed to be. It offers 
him hope; it offers him a 
dream — of decent wages, of 
something to look forward to 
after retirement, of a new 
home, another car, things 
within reason. 

The Republican Party gives 
the impression that if you've 
got $5000 in the bank, while 
we're in office, we're going 
to see it, by God, that you've 
still got $5000 in the bank 
when we leave office. 

It is the same problem that 
Woodrow Wilson stated about 
the GOP forty years ago: 
"The trouble with the Repub- 
lican Party," he said, "is that 
it hasn't had a new idea in 
thirty-five years. 

III. GREEK GREEKS 
A-GO-GO 

What has Gamma Gamma 
been up to lately? I under- 
stand that they coronated a 
few more gods and godesses 
last tap day. I understand, 
too, that they even had a 
meeting sometime last week. 
But of course we don't know 
what they accomplished. The 
cherubim and seraphim had 
too tight a security guard 
over the meeting chamber. 

Perhaps they thought of 
some more ways to honor 
each other, this elite of the 
elite. Do you suppose that they 
voted each other outstanding 



greek greeks? By this process 
they are finally going to boil 
down to one outstanding, out- 
standing, greek, greek, greek. 

Then we will have a Great 
Greek (maybe this is why 
they chose the versatile name 
Gamma Gamma; the initials 
can stand for all these good 
things: Greek Greek, Good 
Guys, Great Greek, Get Good- 
bread — all kinds of good 
stuff!) 

When is a greek not a 
greek? When he is a greeked 
greek? Or a crocked greek? 
All these people are outstand- 
ing, mind you; but some are 
more outstanding than some 
of the others. These are the 
Chosen People (in Spanish, by 
the way, that's G e n t e 
Graciada), the purest of the 
gods, the paragons of virtue; 
these are the elect, the cream 
that rises to the top of the 
pitcher of the sweet milk of 
brother- and sisterhood that 
never sours. 

What say? You doubt it? 
Ye disbeliever! Agnostic! In- 
fidel! Oh, ye of little faith! 
How, say you, did they get 
to be such outstanding peo- 
ple? Why you ignorant knave, 
you commoner, it's because 
they voted themselves that 
way! As the pig said in the 
book Animal Farm, "We are 
equal, it's just that some are 
more equal than others!" 

I think as time goes on GG 
will take its illustrious place 
alongside those other great 
institutions at Millsaps Col- 
lege that serve as great a pur- 
pose as does a tie pin in a 
nudist colony. But maybe if 



I am a good boy, I won't get 
any more "Valentine" cards. 
IV. BULLETIN BUNGLING 

If I may quote from one of 
the greatest debacles of all 
time, the Millsaps College 
Catalog (which must hold 
some kind of record for hav- 
ing the most mistakes of any 
one annual publication in the 
United States), I think you 
will find it of interest on this 
particular point: 

"The College cafeteria is 
. . . under expert supervision 
and furnishes wholesome food 
at moderate rates." 

What can anyone say to 
this? Even the Literary Di- 
gest called a wrong shot on 
Landon's election in 1936 but 
I don't think it can even ap- 
proach this tremendous 
bungle! 

In much the same spirit as 
the remark made about the 
Old Holy Roman Empire, I 
must say that the cafeteria is 
neither supervised, whole- 
some, nor moderate. 

V. NON PARTISAN 
PECAN-BRITTLE 

If you have read this far 
you are to be congratulated. 
Now on a non-partisan note, I 
would like to leave you. As 
you know our choir is selling 



all kind of good stuff so that 
they can represent the great 
institution abroad. I think it 
is one of our great academic 
citizenship duties to support 
our functions. But in this case 
it is an academic citizenship 
privilege. 

I doubt that this column 
(especially this coLumn) is the 
proper place to encourage this 
sort of thing, but I would like 
to do so in this case: please 
support our Singers. They are 
very, very worthy of all you 
can render in the way of any 
kind of support. We are all 
very proud of them and Mr. 
Byler too. 



Deadline for entries in the 
1966 Maid of Cotton Contest 
has been set for December 1. 
Any girl is eligible who is at 
least five feet five and one- 
half inches tall, between the 
ages of 19 and 25, and who

We have a problem ... a 
definite problem of which you 
will become increasingly 
aware as you read this col- 
umn. And that problem is 
that there just isn't any 
news. (Actually it's that nasty 
press deadline. We have to 
turn this article in Thursday, 
November 4, written as if it 
were Thursday Nov. 11. How 
do we know what's going to 
happen next week— especially 
if we don't know what's hap- 
pening now?) 

Long over-due congratula- 
tions go to Patsy White, jun- 
ior from Charleston, who is 
engaged to Charles McLemore 
from Jackson. Congratulations 
to Melissa Darnell, senior KD 
from Jackson, and Pete Shep- 
pard, senior from Greenwood, 
who are getting married De- 
cember 18. 

Last week-end was a big 
one on the social calender. 
The Kappa Sigs had an in- 
formal party at their house 
Friday night. Saturday, of 
course, was homecoming 
highlighted by the coronation 
of the 1965 homecoming 
queen. 

Go Majors! We'd like to 
take this opportunity to say 
how pleased we've been with 
the school spirit! Let's con- 
tinue our support of the 
Majors — the cheerleaders 
and the band can't do it all 
alone. So do your part and 
let the boys know that we're 
behind them one hundred per- 
cent! Beat Ouachita!! 

Mr. Prentiss Smith and Mr. 
Seale Stewart asked us to an- 
nounce the selection of t h e 
Queen Bee for this past week 
—Miss Gayle Kastorff. Con- 
gratulations — or should it be 
"consolations"?? 

Nine weeks tests are prob- 
ably now in full force. We, 
however, feel as though we've 
been having them for the past 
three weeks. Study hard and 
good luck! (Just two weeks till 
Thanksgiving— yea ! ! ) 

Our selections for the pick 



hit of the week is "Are You 
a Boy or Are You a Girl?" 
by the Barbarians. We strong- 
ly urge that this song be add- 
ed to our jukebox in the grill! 
(We do suggest the selection 
of some other new records on 
the jukebox!) 

Congratulations to Betty 
Comer, freshman Chi Omega 
pledge from Tupelo, and Noel 
Womack, freshman Kappa 
Sig pledge from Jackson, and 
also to Judy Brown, fresh- 
man KD pledge from Tyler- 
town, and Tommy F e n t e r, 
senior KA from Hazlehurst, 
who are dropped! 

Special congratulations to 
Kathy Hymers, 1965 home- 
coming queen! We think she 
made a lovely queen ! Also 
the winners of the homecom- 
ing displays — Kappa Alpha, 
first place; Kappa Delta, sec- 
ond place; and Chi Omega, 
third place— should be con- 
gratulated!! 

We hope you all got to see 
the clever displays . . . they 
certainly added to the spirit 
of the weekend! (As did the 
"Go Majors," etc., on the 
sidewalks, windows, and 
streets. 

In conclusion we'd like to 
say that if you can't do bet- 
ter than you did last week, 
why don't you just drop back 
and punt? Actually just don't 
even bother to dress out!

Graves said, "Expansion is 
the word of the day. The big 
question, however, is whether 
or not we are moving upward 
in quality or quantity." 

Applying his discussion"" 
Millsaps, he said, "We are in 
competition with the nation. 
Somehow, some way, we are 
going to have to gear our- 
selves and try to move to- 
ward the top of the pyramid 
or run the risk of settling at 
the bottom." 

Urging the alumni to join 
the officials in "dedicating our- 
selves toward making Mill- 
saps College more than medi- 
ocre," President Graves said 
that the alumni could help in 
financial support, in recruit- 
ing students, in contacting oth- 
er sources of financial sup- 
port, and in any public rela- 
tions activity in behalf of the 
College. 

Alumni who returned to the 
campus Saturday had a full 
day of activities, ranging 
from reunions for special 
classes to the Millsaps - Liv- 
ingston State football game 
to the Millsaps Players' pres- 



entation of "The Crucible." 

The big announcements con- 
cerned the Alumnus of the 
Year and the Homecoming 
queen. Brigadier General 
Robert E. Blount, now of El 
Paso, Texas, was presented a 
certificate naming him the 
outstanding alumnus for 1965. 
Miss Hymers was crowned 
Homecoming queen during 
half time ceremonies. 

The classes of 1916 and 
1941, celebrating their 50th 
and 25th anniversaries respec- 
tively, were the honor groups. 
Also holding reunions were 
1930, 1931, 1932, 1933, 1949, 
1950, 1951, and 1952. 

Alumni Association Presi- 
dent Lawrence Rabb, of Me- 
ridian, also spoke briefly at 
the banquet. Entertainment 
was provided by the Trouba- 
dours. 

Alumni were guests of the 
Players for the final perform- 
ance of Arthur Miller's "The 
Crucible." Final event of the 
day was a Homecoming dance 
held in the Student Center.

SCIENTIST AND PROJECT — Bob Tomson, Millsaps student 
who in high school was seelcted one of the top 30 science 
students in the United States, works with his current research 
project, the hermit crab. 

Student Research Project 
Investigates Hermit Crab 



PR RELEASE 

There's one small inhabi- 
tant of the Gulf which has 
been pretty successful in 
avoiding the prying eyes of 
scientific investigators. 

Until now. Now the shy 
hermit crab has become the 
subject of a research project 
of a Millsaps College biology 
major. 

Known formally as Cliban- 
arius vittatus, the hermit 
crab got his more common 
name because of his habit of 
adopting for his own the dis- 
carded shells of snails and 
other gastropods, and scurry- 
ing away, shell and all, at 
the slightest hint of disturb- 
ance. A native of the Gulf 
Coast, he rarely grows larger 
than three inches. More dis- 
tinctively, he's the only 
crustaceon known which has 
chromatic responses. 

Bob Tomson, of Gulf port, 
decided he'd try to find out 
why the crab changes color. 
Specifically, he is trying to 
determine the relationship be- 
tween the controlling gland— 
in this case the sinus gland— 
and the pigment cells. 

His specific reason is to 
gain experience in the scien- 
tific method. But there's also 
the fact that nothing has been 
published about the hermit 
crab other than the taxonomic 
description. He will be adding 
to the store of knowledge 



about inhabitants of the Gulf. 

Tomson has already deter- 
mined that the chromatic re- 
sponse is not caused by ex- 
ternal stimuli. He made tests 
as to the color of background 
and intensity of light and dis- 
covered that neither of these 
triggered a change in pig- 
ment cells. 

He says that the crab's si- 
nus glands, located in the 
eyestalks, secrete a hormone 
which controls the color of the 
crab, which has both red and 
blue pigment cells. 

In his tests he uses the con- 
trolled environment chamber 
to control light and tempera- 
ture to keep the crabs' en- 
vironment constant and avoid 
variables. 

Tomson, who as a senior at 
Gulf port High School was 
named one of the 30 top sci- 
ence students in the United 
States, first became interested 
in the hermit crab when he 
collected specimens for a Tu- 
lane scientist who was doing 
research on pigmentation. 

But he's quite knowledge- 
able about all of the inhabi- 
tants of the Gulf. Last year he 
turned over to the Millsaps 
biology department his col- 
lection of marine organisms, 
amounting to around 400 spec- 
imens. 

He plans to enter the field 
of fishery biology or wildlife 
management after he finishes 
his studies. 



pointed chief medical consul- 
tant for General MacArthur's 
entire Far East Command. 
For more than three years 
he had unusually rich clinical 
experiences in the various 
phases of tropical medicine, as 
well as medical problems of 
the Far East. 

The recipient was the first 
physician to recognize the 
military significance of the 
peculiarly long incubation pe- 
riod characteristic of the Ko- 
rean strain of vivax malaria. 
Later he was head of the 
Army Medical Research ef- 
fort when it became appar- 
ent that drug resistant strains 
of the deadly Plasmodium 
falciparum (most dangerous 
of the malarias) were prev- 
alent not only in South and 
Central America but in South- 
east Asia, especially in Thai- 
land, Malaya, Laos, South 
Vietnam and Cambodia. 
These strains, although show- 
ing marked resistance to all 
synthetic or newer anti-ma- 
laria drugs, still respond to 
quinine therapy. He spear- 
headed the effort to assure 
the maintenance of an ade- 
quate quinine supply. 

In addition, he helped es- 
tablish new clinical research 
centers for the study of ma- 
laria and participated very 
actively in the vast expansion 
of the Army Medical Serv- 
ice's research effort, not only 
in malaria but in other tropi- 
cal and infectious diseases. 

Returning from Japan in 
early 1950, he was assigned 
as assistant chief of medicine 
at Walter Reed General Hos- 
pital for one year, and then 
became chief of the Depart- 
ment of Medicine at Brooke 
General Hospital. 

In 1955 he began a tour of 
duty as consultant in internal 
medicine for the United States 
Army in Europe. While there 
he was the coordinator for 
the establishment of intern 
and residency training for Eu- 
ropean physicians in United 
States Army hospitals. 

Returning to the States 
after his European assign- 
ment, he again became chief 
of the Department of Med- 
icine at Brooke. Many of 
his former interns and resi-

dents have become distin- 
guished clinicians, teachers, 
or investigators. 

From November 1, 1960, un- 
til April, 1962, he served as 
chief of professional services 
of the Office of the Surgeon 
General. It was during this 
period that he served as the 
senior internist for the Proj- 
ect Mercury Medical Special- 
ist Team and spent much 
time at Cape Canaveral, now 
Cape Kennedy. 

In May, 1962, he was 
appointed commanding gen- 
eral of the U. S. Army Medi- 
cal Research and Develop- 
ment Command, Office of the 
Surgeon General. In this posi- 
tion he was responsible for 
the Army's medical research 
and development program, 
worldwide in scope. Intensive 
studies were directed to the 
medical aspects of problems 
that face the soldier in the 
field. 

During the period 1962-65 ad- 
ditional areas of study were 
added to the Command's pro- 
gram. These included in- 
creased efforts in medical de- 
fense against biological and 
chemical agents; the study of 
trauma, shock, and blood sub- 
stitutes; the medical prob- 
lems of helicopter and fixed 
wing low level flight; bio- 
logical effects of lasers; bio- 
logical effects of climatic ex- 
tremes, including high terres- 
trial altitudes; disabling skin 
diseases which afflict combat 
troops; newly encountered in- 
fectious diseases, and drug- 
resistant strains of organisms, 
such as the meningococcus 
and malaria plasmodiums; 
and development of more ef- 
fective, rugged, and trans- 
portable field medical equip- 
ment. 

He assumed command of 
Williams Beaumont General 
Hospital, the position which 
he now holds, on March 1, 
1965. He was recently pre- 
sented a certificate for "out- 
standing support" to the 
Armed Forces Institute of 
Pathology. 

He is a Diplomate of the

Quarterback, Fullback Spot 
Well Manned For Majors 



By CHRIS KELLY 

The Millsaps Majors have 
a very talented backfield this 
year. Danny Neely and Steve 
Miles have handled the quar- 
terback position capably Full- 
backs Tommy Dickerson, 
Gerald Robbins, and Wayne 
Upchurch have also per- 
formed an excellent job for 
the Majors. 

Steve Miles, a junior quar- 
terback, 5'9", 165 lbs., from 
Gulfport, attended Gulfport 
High School where he lettered 
two years in football, was 
chosen Most Valuable Player 
his senior year, and earned 
two letters in baseball. Be- 
fore coming to Millsaps, he 
played two years at Perkin- 
ston Junior College. Coach 
Davis reports Steve "has 
been plagued by injuries most 
of the season. He has played 
mostly on defense at the safe- 
ty position, but injuries have 
kept him from playing con- 
sistently." 

Danny Neely, a junior quar- 
terback from Pearl played at 
Pearl High and Hinds Junior 
College, lettering four years 
in football and 2 years in base- 
ball. Neely was chosen Most 
Valuable Player at Pearl 
High School. He made All 



State Junior College lettering 
two years at Hinds Junior 
College. Coach Davis says 
Neely is "improving every 
game especially with his run- 
ning. He is much more dan- 
gerous a threat with the pass- 
run option than he was at the 
first of the season. He has 
been used some on defense 
and has filled in capably 
there." 

Tommy Dickerson, 5' 11", 
180 lbs., a sophomore fullback 
from Corinth lettered three 
years at Corinth High School. 
At Corinth he was chosen all 
Big 8, All State, and A 1 1 
American. In 1963, he was 
the Big 8 Scoring Leader. 
Coach Davis stated that Tom- 
my was "injured on the third 
day of practice and still fa- 
vors a sprained ankle. The 
first chance he got to play 
against Maryville he looked 
exceptionally good as a run- 
ner." This was obvious, as 
Dickerson scored touchdowns 
the first two times he car- 
ried the ball in college play. 

Gerald Robbins, a junior 
fullback from Monticello, let- 
tered at Monticello High 
School and at Southwest Jun- 
ior College. At Southwest, 
Robbins who is 5' 11", 180 lbs., 



was chosen Most Valuable 
Back and made the All State 
Junior College Team. Coach 
Davis praised his "excellent 
job punting, with an average 
close to 39 yards per try. He 
is the teams leading ball car- 
rier in total yards, and he is 
a fine blocker on sprint-out 
passes and sweeps." 

Wayne Upchurch, a junior 
fullback, 5'11", 175 lbs., from 
Hollandale lettered 4 years at 
Hollandale High where he 
made All Little 8 two years, 
was Most Valuable Player in 
Basketball and lettered in 
track. He made the All State 
Junior College Second Team 
at Mississippi Delta Junior 
College where he played for 
2 years. Coach Davis com- 
ments that Upchurch "has 
been playing right inside line- 
backer after starting the 
Austin game at safety. This 
is a new defensive position 
for Wayne, but he is improv- 
ing with each game. He has 
been used sparingly on of- 
fense." 




NEELY TRAPPED — Danny Neely, Millsaps quarterback, tries 
desperately to elude a would be tackier in last week's fame 
with the Livingston State Tigers. The Majors were downed 
35-14 in the homecoming: tilt, as Livingston State unl eased a 
devastating attack of long runs in the second half. The score 
at halftime was only 7-6, but the Tigers exploded after inter- 
mission with four quick touchdowns, while the Majors could 
muster but one more, and that in the closing minutes. Edwin 
Massey scored the first Millsaps touchdown in the first quarter 
on a short run. However, Richardson's PAT attempt was bad. 
Richardson scored the second touchdown on a pass from Steve 
Miles. Richardson then added two extra points, as Miles threw 
to him again.

In the first game of the 
week Kappa Sigma gave the 
KA's their seventh straight 
win. The KA's were never in 
trouble taking the first two 
games 21-10 and 21-11. Tom-

while Doug Greene and 
George Williamson sparked

Sure looked good. That 
would be enough said about 
the game with Maryviile 
which the Majors won 28 to 13, 
but there is more to the story. 
For the first time this year, 
with the exception of the 
game with Southwestern, the 
Majors reached their poten- 
tial as a football team. The 
whole first half, except for a 
bad snap from center which 
Maryviile captilized on, was 
nothing but Millsaps. 

Everyone played heads up 
ball, and I was really glad to 
find out that the Majors had 
such talent in the backfield. 
Coach Davis does not have to 
rely on just a few boys as 
ample talent is available. 
Though Neely is usually in at 
quarterback, Steve Miles has 
shown that he is capable and 
if the need were to arise could 
take over. 

Maryviile saw a lot of ac- 
tion from Jerry Huskey, Troy 
Lee Jenkins and Wayne Up- 
church at the Halfback slots, 
and a great deal of Tommy 
Dickerson and Gerald Robbins 
at Fullback. 

The field day for Millsaps 
was led by Dickerson who 
scored 12 points. Paul Rich- 
ardson added a six pointer 
and four P.A.T.s for a total of 
10. The other Major score was 
accounted for by a pass from 
Neely to Massey, this one for 
57 yards. 

The defense was on the up 
and up too, allowing only 5 
out of 16 pass completions, al- 
lowing a total of only 100 
yards. This may be compared 
to the 366 the Majors picked 
up to see how one sided the 
game really was. Massey in- 
tercepted two passes, and 
Jenkins picked off one. Other 
outstanding defensive men 
were Upchurch, Jimmy 
Waide, and Tommy McDan- 
iel. 

All I can say is that if the 
team had looked like this all 
season we would have won 
more ball games. Since the 
team is a relatively young 
one, no seniors, the Majors 
will not be hurt by graduation. 
This means look out for Mill- 
saps next year. We should 
have a definitely improved 
team, and a definitely im- 
proved record too. 

The football season will end 
this Saturday, with the game 
with Ouachita College at Ark- 
adelphia, Arkansas. 



story as the Tide from Ala- 
bama washed out all hopes 
of a bowl bid for the Bull- 
dogs, downing them 10 to 7. 
State seemed to have trouble 
handling the ball, almost as 
much as did the Tigers. This 
is three losses in a row for 
the dogs. 

At the present time I will 
have to change my thoughts 
on the Ole Miss— State game. 
It now looks as though Ole 
Miss will win it going away. 
It may even be another 18 
years before State wins 
again. 

Southern, who is trying to 
break into the SEC when Tu- 
lane leaves next year, lost its 
second of the year to William 
and Mary of Virginia by a 
score of 3 to 0. The South- 
erners were supposed to lose 
two this year, but this was 
not one of them. 

Delta State is still rolling, 
racking up Florence State of 
Alabama, 16 to 7. This is 7 
in a row and it is good to see 
a Mississippi team with a per- 
fect record. 

As the season draws to a 
close it looks like Alabama 
might win the S.E.C. crown 
again, barring some unseen 
catastrophy. L.S.U. last week 
no. 5 and Florida no. 7 both 
lost this past week and are 
dropped from national rat- 
ings. 

We would like to say con- 
gratulations to the Majors on 
the win over Maryviile, and 
good luck in the game against 
Ouachita Saturday. Lets go 
boys, we need another win.

Majors End Long Campaign 
Against Ouachita College 



By Tommy Davis 

Arkadelphia, Arkansas is 
the site of the last football 
game of the year for the Mill- 
saps Majors. The Tigers of 
Ouachita Baptist College will 
provide the entertainment for 
the Majors. 

Ouachita's Tigers are ex- 
pected to be tough to beat. 
Experience seems to be the 
major factor in their favor as 
they have only one man on 
the starting offensive and de- 
fensive units who wasn't there 
last year. 

Offensively the Tiger line 
averages about 195 pounds. 
Fullback Johnnie Johnson 
tips the scales at 200 pounds 
while fullback Jimmy Hogan 
weighs in a 210 pounds. Hogan 
cost the Majors 6 points last 
year with his 40 yard touch- 
down run. Halfback seems to 
be a light position on the 
starting offensive team. Two 
150 pounders occupy these po- 
sitions. Quarterback Frank 
Spainhon is a 185 pound 
senior. 

Defensively the Tigers are 
about the same size. The line 
averages about 190 pounds 



while offensive starters are 
two way performers. 

So far this year Ouachita 
has compiled a record of 3 
wins, 2 losses, and 1 tie. The 
Tigers and Harding College 
Bisons battled to a 13-13 dead- 
lock. At this point we should 



point out that the Majors lost 
to Harding by a score of 14-0. 
It should also be mentioned 
that this was one of our poor- 
est games of the season. 

So in my opinion with a 
good effort, the Major's 
should easily win. 



Taking a look over the state 
after one of the biggest week- 
ends of football Jackson has 
ever seen, we find some in- 
teresting results. The Ole 
Miss Rebels really pulled a 
good one out of the air, as 
they downed arch rival LSU 
23 to O. . .You can bet that 
there were many stunned and 
unhappy LSU fans after Sat- 
urday. LSU was picked to 
win, but the Rebels played 
down south ball and taking 
advantage of the breaks 
rolled to victory. 

Miss. State was another

Grades Aren 9 t Enough; 
English Exams Monday 



By I. B. SCARED 

"Making the grades" is 
enough to get a student out of 
most colleges. Not Miilsaps 
though— there are a few other 
obstacles along the way which 
somehow have to be over- 
come—little goodies like writ- 
ten comprehensives and oral 
comprehensives and junior 
English proficiency examina- 
tions. 

Eeks! Most juniors would 
rather forget about those Eng- 
lish exams which pop up to 
haunt even the English majors 
sometime. This year's exam 
will be given Monday after- 
noon to all juniors and all 
seniors who fell by the way- 
side on last year's test. 

Actually the test isn't all 
that bad (this writer says that 
because he's trying to get up 
enough nerve to live through 
the thing). For those who are 
not familiar with the pro- 
ficiency examination, students 
are asked to write a short 
theme of 400-500 words on a 
particular topic. The student 
is given a list of topics from 
which he can choose. A time 
limit of two hours is set on 
the writing of the theme. 

The theme is graded both 
on content and form. The sub- 
ject matter should be clear, 
unified, and interesting, and 
spelling, punctuation, capitali- 
zation, and sentence structure 
are of primary importance. A 
sensible plan for discussion 
and proper divisions of para- 
graphs are important, and 
legibility and neatness are al- 
so considered. 

No student can gradu- 
ate from Miilsaps College 
wUhout passing the Kn*H*l 
Proficiency Examina- 
tion. However, all is not that 



bad! A student can take the 
exam over and over until he 
does get by. Of course there 
is one catch — the exam is only 
offered once a year, and if 
you see any gray-haired ladies 
and gentlemen walking 
around campus Monday ask- 
ing for directions to class- 
rooms, you might give them 
a guiding hand. 

Seniors will probably be 
helping their junior friends 
with a little advice on how to 
approach the exam, but soph- 
omores and freshmen, don't 
you feel left out. Any prayers 
you might contribute in be- 
half of the junior class will 
be greatly appreciated. 
Amen. 



"Best Dressed" 
Elections Set 
For Thursday 

By ANN MARTIN 

Election of Miilsaps' best- 
dressed girl will be Novem- 
ber 16. The election will be 
conducted as the homecom- 
ing election — to have her 
name on the ballot, a girl 
must submit a petition signed 
by thirty people, with not 
more than fifteen names from 
one Greek organization, if the 
girl is a member of a sorority. 

The girl who receives the 
most votes will be the win- 
ner of the election, and the 
nine runners-up will be listed 
among Miilsaps' ten best- 
dressed coeds. 

Photographs of Miilsaps' 
best-dressed girl will be sent 
to Glamour Magazine for com- 
petition with the winners from 
other colleges and universi- 
ties throughout the country.

KA's Capture Spirit Contest 



By MARIE SMITH 

"Flush the Tigers" was the 
winning theme for the 1965 
Homecoming spirit display 
contest. Capturing first place 
and the gold trophy was the 
Kappa Alpha Order. Their 
display featured Colonel Reb, 
a stuffed tiger, and . . . (other 
details censored). 

The KA display committee 
consisted of Fritz Breland, 
Bud LaFoe, Bruce Stafford, 
Sonny Ray, Russell Atchley, 
Tommy Cabell, and Kelsey 
Van Every. 

Second place winner, with 
their big white top hat urging 



the Majors to victory with the 
words "Top the Tigers," was 
the Kappa Delta sorority. 
Glenda Odom and Deon May- 
field steered the construction 
of the display, which was a 
pledge project. 

Chi Omega sorority copped 
third place honors by convert- 
ing the porch of their house 
into a Snoopy-type dog house. 
A huge contented Snoopy re- 
clined on top. "Happiness is 
Victory" was the theme. 
Estelle Noel and Mebby 
Davidson were in charge of 
the display. 

Last year's spirit display 



winners were the Inde- 
pendents, better known as the 
GDI or CBI.

Debaters Open Season; 
Goodbread Wins Oratory 



Ace debator Ronald Good-

individual events oratory 
category during the Central 
Bronco Debate Tourna- 
; in Oklahoma City, Okla- 
homa last weekend, as the 
Millsaps debate squad opened 
its 1965-66 season. 

Goodbread and Jim Caroll 
were 3-3 in debate competi- 
tion while Lee Makamson and 
Mary Ann McDonald sported 
a similar record. They were 
arguing the national topic for 
this season, "Resolved: that 
law enforcement agencies 
should be given greater free- 



dom in the prosecution of 
crime." 



and Robbie 
Lloyd were entered in indiv- 
idual events categories. The 
six students were ac- 
companied on the trip by de- 
bate coach Mr. Orvel Hooker. 



This was the first of 
10-15 trips scheduled for the

Talent Set For 
High School Day 
Variety Show 

By CHERYL BARRETT 

High School Day this year 
will be highlighted by a Vari- 
ety Show in which talented 
members of the campus will 
participate. 

Heading the list of talent 
secured for this year's show 
are the famous Troubadours, 
Millsaps singing group which 
has appeared all over the 
state and which two years 
ago went to Europe on a USO 
tour. 

The committee for the pro- 
gram, led by Mike Moore, has 
secured Freddy Davis once 
again for the role of emcee. 

Two of the acts, featuring 
Bob Ridgway, John Baas 
and George Pickett in one 
and Clyde Satterwhite and 
Bill Lamb in the other, will 
sing folk music. Ruth Hunt 
will grace the stage with a 
ballet and Mike Moore gets 
into the act by singing his 
famous rendition of "Misty." 

The famous Mr. Davis will 
fill in the vacant minutes with 
his biting humor. 



Annual High School Day at 
Millsaps College is set for this 
Saturday, November 20. Ac- 
tivities illustrating various 
phases of Millsaps life have 
been arranged. Students from 
all over this area are expect- 
ed to be on campus for the 
day's program. 

Highlights of the day will 
include scholarship tests, 
tours of the campus, a variety 
show, faculty discussions, and 
an all-campus party. 

Registration begins at 8 a. 
m. Saturday in the lobby of 
the Boyd Campbell Student 
Center to be followed by a 
reception where refreshments 
will be served. 

Larry Adams, Student 
Executive Board president, 
and Gus Rushing, president 
of the freshman class, spon- 
sors of the day, will welcome 
the high school seniors to the 
campus at 9 a. m. 

Competitve scholar- 
ship tests will be administered 
during the morning. Students 
scoring highest on these op- 
tional tests will be awarded 
Marion L. Smith scholar- 
ships, named for 
•juished former 
Millsaps. Forty 
totaling $6,200 will be 
awarded. 

The variety show, set for 
2 p. m., is under the direc- 
tion of Mike Moore and will 
feature Freddy Davis as mas- 
ter - of - ceremonies. A wide 
variety of campus entertain- 
ment has been lined up for the 
performance, always a top 
feature of the day. 

Many committees have 
been at work to make this 
year's high school day a suc- 
cess, according to President 
Gus Rushing of the sponsor- 
ing freshmen class. 

The invitations and public- 
ity committee, headed by 
Adrienne Doss and Melinda 



Donna Jeane Caden, Mill- 
saps freshman, is a winner of 
one of several scholarships 
offered this year as part of 
the Junior Carnival Festival 
of the Memphis Cotton 
Carnival.

Eastman Kodak Gives $2400 Grant 
As Part Of Educational Program 



By ANN MARTIN 

The Eastman-Kodak Com- 
pany has awarded a $2400 
fund to Millsaps under its 
1965 educational aid program. 
Millsaps is one of 86 privately 
supported colleges and uni- 
versities which will receive 
about $39,000 in unrestricted 
direct grants from Kodak. 

In making such gifts, the 
company is attempting to re- 
pay those private institutions 
that have provided the corpo- 
ration with graduates who 
have in turn given the com- 
pany four or five years of 
commendable service. The 
Millsaps grant is for $600 a 
year. 

The theory behind the pro- 



gram is that in most colleges 
the cost of an education is 
divided between the student 
and the institution. This com- 
pany is, in a sense, repaying 
the school its part of their 
employees' educations. 

Millsaps is represented at 
Kodak by Miss Zorah Curry, 
a native of Jackson, who re- 
ceived a BA degree in 1956. 
She is employed at the Ten- 
Eastman Company. 



"Chi O A-Go-Go," a fashion 
show sponsored by Chi Ome- 
ga pledges and Sudie's Dress 
Shop, will be held at 7 p.m., 
December 1, in the Victory 
Room of the Heidelberg. 



PURPLE & WHITE 



PURPLE & WHITE 



Nov. 19, 1965 



To Our High School Visitors 



To the high school students on our 
campus this weekend, the PURPLE & 
WHITE issues a warm welcome. We 
hope you enjoy your stay at Millsaps 
and we sincerely hope to find you back 
here again in September of next year. 
We believe Millsaps has a lot to offer 
a potential college student, and we hope 
that our high school friends will exam- 
ine closely these opportunities. 

First of all, Millsaps offers an aca- 
demic education second to none in Mis- 
sissippi and topped by very few, if any, 
schools in the South. This bit of infor- 
mation has "made the rounds;" Mill- 
saps has become recognized as an out- 
standing academic institution. One need 
only look at the records for proof — 
examine the number of fellowships and 
scholarships awarded Millsaps students 
upon graduation, look at comparative 
test scores of the Millsaps student as 
pitted against a student from another 
college. 

However, and we hope our high 
school friends will take note of this, 
Millsaps has much to offer the student 
outside the classroom. We are not a 
school where study is necessitated 24 
hours a day — a lot of studying is re- 
quired, yes, but the Millsaps of today 
offers a well-balanced education to all. 

Examine our athletic program. True, 
Millsaps has set very few records 
on the athletic fields in recent years, 
but in the very near future Millsaps 
will once again be read about on the 
sports pages of your Sunday newspa- 
per, with the recent establishment 
of a scholarship program. 

This year's football team won only 
two games — but that was two more 
than last year. And nary a team really 
ran over the Majors of 1965. And there 
is not a single senior on this ball club. 
The picture regarding our basketball 
and baseball teams, and in other sports, 
is *l*o much brighter. And, high school 
seniors, all students have an oppor- 
tunity to participate in a program of 
intramural athletics which provide 
nearly as much excitement as varsity 
sports. 

Take a look at our fraternity and 
sorority system. There are four of each 



on the campus and all do an outstand- 
ing job of promoting social life on cam- 
pus, of boosting campus spirit, and of 
providing for any student a true oppor- 
tunity for brotherhood and sisterhood. 

Ask about our choirs. There are three 
excellent choirs on campus, two of 
which take extended tours every spring. 
And there are the Troubadours, the 
Millsaps singing group which two years 
ago toured Europe on a USO program. 
If it's drama you are interested in, the 
Millsaps Players offer an opportunity 
for all to share in their performances — 
and any drama critic in the state will 
tell you that the Players are among the 
best in this area. 

We have a Student Government at 
Millsaps which has earned the respect 
of students, faculty, and administrative 
leaders alike. Students have an oppor- 
tunity to speak out in regular Student 
Senate meetings, and the "powers-that- 
be," though not always agreeing, take 
note of the students' wishes. Lastly, 
our publications at Millsaps serve, too, 
as a mouthpiece for students — through 
such organs of the PURPLE AND 
WHITE, students can and do let their 
desires for change or improvement or 
their satisfaction be known. 

But the point we would like to em- 
phasize, more even than what Millsaps 
has to offer today, is rather how much 
we have improved as a college in the 
last year or so. We have an adminis- 
tration at Millsaps today which is in- 
terested first and foremost in the stu- 
dent! The aims of this administration 
are high— we have confidence their 
goals will be reached. 

Yes, high school students, take a 
close look at Millsaps. Ask each stu- 
dent here if he is happy — we believe 
nearly all will answer in the affirma- 
tive. We can proudly put ourself on 
display: our rising athletic program, a 
rich social life, an opportunity for par- 
ticipation in extracurricular activities 
for every student, and, most important 
of all, an academic reputation second 
to none. 

Again, we hope to see you back next 
fall! 



Letter-To-Editor . . . 



Its The Little Things That Count 



Millsaps College 
Jackson, Mississippi 
November 11, 1965 
Dear Editor, 

I noticed three glaring 
grammatical errors in the No- 
vember 11, 1965, issue of the 
Purple and White which are, 
I think, inexcusable. On the 
front page an article said, 
'Everyone is requested to 
have their picture made." I 
presume Mr. Goodbread was 
talking about goddesses when 
he mentioned the "godesses." 
He also made some reference 
to "these type of people," 
which makes one wonder if 
our cynical editor of the 
"Symposium" could pass the 
English Proficiency Exam. 

These errors show a lack of 
thoroughness on the part of 
the proofreading staff. If er- 
rors such as these are con- 
tinually sent out for the pub- 
lic to read, they will soon won- 
der if Millsaps is really the 
quality institution that it is 
supposed to be. 

I realize this may seem a 
bit trivial; but, after all, it's 



the little things that count. 

(Unsigned) 

(EDITOR'S NOTE: We 

make it a policy not to print 
or answer unsigned letters, 
but this one was just too good 
to pass up. We have no idea 
whether it came from a stu- 
dent, professor (we hope not) 
what source. However, there 
are a few brif points I'd like 
to let our gifted critic in on 
(and how do you like that, 
we're ending a sentence with 
a double preposition!!) 

Each issue of the Purple and 
White contains anywhere 



from 15,000-30,000 words. If 
such an astute reader as this 
person seems to be can only 
find three grammatical er- 
rors, then we must commend 
our proofreading staff for an 
excellent job. Especially since 
I have found more than three 
grammatical errors in this 
short little letter. And I'm not 
even an English major. To 
note the letter, I'm worried 
about "articles saying," 
and I'm worried about all 
those indefinite references. I 
do hope this writer has pass- 
ed the English Proficiency. 



IDEAS 



AND 

OPINIONS 




In view of no column space 
of her own, this first section 
of Ideas and Opinions has 
been yielded to the Assistant 
Editor. 

From one of his most admir- 
ing political cows, three ques- 
tions are posed to our usually 
competent political analyst, 
the Honorable Ron Good- 
bread -A-Go-Go. 

1. What further efficiency 
could be extracted from any 
deeply indebted SGA Fi- 
nance Committee than that 
a deficit (of more than 
twice the usual SEB alloca- 
tion) be at least temporarily 
erased with a minimum of 
squals from brother organi- 
zations? 

2. Have you looked at the 
structure of the Finance Com- 
mittee? Appointed were: (a) 
two women students: Misses 
Cindy F e 1 d e r and Jeanne 
Burnet; (b) two men students, 
Mr. Jim Gabbert and Mr. 
Mark Matheny; (c) two facul- 
ty members, both of whom 
have previously displayed in- 
sight and experienced judge- 
ment on the Finance Commit- 
tee: Miss Mildred Morehead 
and Mrs. Madeline McMullan. 
I can only conclude that your 
gripe is with either section 
(c) or M a d a m e Treasurer 
herself. 

If the latter be the case, I 
can assure you that she will 
— as always — be most eager 
to hear your criticisms and 
suggestions for higher excel- 
lence. 

3. Are you sure that your 
vision is not clouded a bit 
"pink" by a little misaim of 
the god Eros? I certainly 
hope that's the prob! If not, 
heaven help the Senate, P&W, 
and Debate Team, for I've 
long been under a misconcep- 
tion of what I thought to be 
an unprejudiced judgment. 

^ ^ * 

Now it is your editor's turn 
to cast a few gripes. We do 
not attend nearly enough of 
the cultural opportunities 
available to Millsaps stu- 
dents. However, we were 
among the small number who 
turned out Friday night to 
hear violinist Frederic Balazs, 
director of the Tuscon, Ari- 
zona Symphony Orchestra. 

The performance by Mr. 
Balazs was apparently excel- 
lent since he was awarded a 

I am not qualified to pass 
judgment on our newspaper. 
However, if there is any one 
facet of the Purple and White 
which I do feel has improved 
over the past year it would 
have to be a smaller number. 



standing ovation, forced to 
make about fifteen curtain 
calls, and an encore number. 
We cannot attest for certain 
on the professionality of the 
program because Mr. Balazs 
is the first solo violinist we've 
ever seen (and also because 
we were up all night Thurs- 
day working on a political sci- 
ence test). 

However, we were appalled 
at the lack of organization as- 
sociated with the concert. To 
begin with, no one thought to 
give either Mr. Balazs or his 
accompanist a program and 
they had no idea what went 
where until some kind mem- 
ber of the audience was gen- 
tlemanly enough to walk to 
the stage and hand them his 
own. 

And apparently we were not 
alone among those who were 
not familiar with professional 
violin concerts because the 
first time Mr. Balazs walked 
off the stage, though the pro- 
gram gave no indication of an 
intermission, the audience 
gradually began walking to- 
wards the lounges, the house 
lights came on, everyone 
started talking, and the maes- 
tro returned for his big num- 
ber shocked to find a scene 
of mass confusion. Appropri- 
ately, next time he got ready 
to walk off to the wings (ap- 
parently he wanted a drink of 
water), Mr. Balazs warned 
the crowd not to go away, 
he'd be right back. 

And, worst of all, we did 
not see one representative of 
the Millsaps administra- 
tion there to represent the col- 
lege. Of course, we were 
sleepy and it was dark and 
we hope we just happened to 
miss one sitting somewhere. 
However, we do wonder if Mr. 
Balazs might have felt hurt 
with no more of the campus 
leaders in the audience, we 
do wonder if some adminis- 
trative representative should 
have been there to present 
Mr. Balazs a program (since 
the show's sponsors obvious- 
ly forgot about it), and we 
do wonder if some represen- 
tative of the administration 
should not have been 
there to apologize to our gift- 
ed violinist. 

We make these remarks not 
to unduly criticize those re 
sponsible for Friday's holo- 
caust, but because we hope in 
the future such lack of organi- 
zation will not occur again. As 
an innocent member of the 
audience, we received the im- 
pression that it didn't bug 
Mr. Balazs in the least, that 
he loved Mississippi.

Retrospect 



"Crucible" Is History; 
Next Play Is Discussed 



Nov. 19, 1965 



PURPLE & WHITE 



Pa*e 3 



By BARRY McGEHEE 
Amusements Editor 

Well, after a couple of 
weeks of welcome (certainly 
on my part, most probably on 
yours) relief from the duty of 
writing this column, we re- 
turn to the newsprint with (as 
usual) little to be said. 

Everything that is going to 
happen that should be men- 
tioned at this writing will 
have happened at the time 
this paper appears — the Fred- 
eric Balazs concert and the 
Schubert Mass in E Flat to 
mention two. 

It is, of course, futile and un- 
ethical for me to say any- 
thing about The Crucible ex- 
cept that it was great fun and 
the student turnout was ap- 
preciated. It might also be ap- 
propriate to mention that the 
Millsaps Players, of which I 
am a very small part, have 
always appreciated the inter- 
est shown by the Millsaps stu- 
dent, even in times when the 
interest in other campus ac- 
tivities has seemed to lag. 

It even makes the three or 
four hours of rehearsal five 
days a week worthwhile when 
you hear a "well done" through 
sleepless ears, or see a cherry 
thumbs up through bloodshot 
eyes after opening night. 

Which brings us to the mat- 
ter at hand — It has always 
been our custom to talk about 
a production that is 4 4 in the 
making," so to speak, and to 
give, however unscholarly as 
they may be, some hints as 
to the production's ramifica- 
tions as a theatrical piece. 
(You may have already 
guessed what is coming) But, 
since I have not read the play, 
anything that I say is second 
hand (from some very adept 
hands, however) and should 
not be taken as ignorant ram- 
bling, but rather, uninformed 
digression. 

What has surprised me most 
about Looking Back In Anger, 
the next Players' production; 
is that the plot, when 
described to me, seemed en- 
tirely hackneyed. It involves 
the proverbial "angry young 
man", Jimmy Porter, his 
44 plain and colourless wife", 



Alison, and their not too var- 
ious but certainly sundry 
friends. 

Jimmy Porter could not be 
considered angry at anything 
in particular. This may be a 
part of the fascination of the 
play, trying to figure out what 
Jimmy is angry at. Certainly 
he is a failure, but only be- 
cause he has never tried. 

His chief means of support 
is a sweet-stall which he op- 
erates (a totally deceptive oc- 
cupation—Jimmy's nature is 
anything but, you guessed it, 
sweet) and with the funds de- 
rived therefrom (oh boy, I 
should never have taken that 
part in the Crucible) he sup- 
ports his onetime socialite 
wife, Alison. Their friend. 
Cliff, figures in the plot (I 
haven't been able to find out 
exactly how) and Alison's fa- 
ther appears. 

That leaves us with Helena. 
Playwright John Osborne has 
introduced this character to, 
I suppose, bring conflict 
(who's afraid of a split infini- 
tive) but after Helena wins 
Jimmy from Alison, their con- 
frontation is little more than 
4 4 Doctor Livingston, I pre- 
sume," and Alison proceeds 
to win Jimmy back from Hel- 
ena. 

Even though this may sound 
a lot like Secret Storm, or 
your favorite afternoon 
"soap" I am told this play is 
a powerful one, and being ac- 
quainted with Mr. Osborne's 
Luther, am inclined to believe 
it. 



P & W Bowl Predictions:

Symposium 



The Millsaps Gum Ball Machine 




. Jullanne Solomon, 
Wooldrldge, Bertha Mae Jones. 



Tullls, Betty Woolrid*e 



By RONALD GOODBREAD 
Symposium Editor 

There is a gum machine in 
Burton Hall. It stands next to 
the water fountain. When I 
walk by it seems to say, 
"Goodbread, Goodbread, 
Goodbread" in a rasping, 
burbling, bubble - gummy 
imaginary voice. And lately 
I have been able to ignore it. 

But oftentimes in the dead 
of night I can hear it. It's 
just ten or so feet from my 
door. And there it sits. Mo- 
tionless. Mocking. But call- 
ing. "Ron; Ron; try me; try 
me." I turn over and shove 
my face to the wall. The 
beads of perspiration run off 
the end of my nose. But I 
hear it still. When I pass it 
sometimes the next morning 
on the way to class I swear I 
can hear the gumballs shift- 
ing as it seems to turn on its 
pedastal and watches me 
leave. 

Some morning I come back 
and stand over it. I pace 
around it. Inevitably my hand 
finds itself fumbling in my 
pocket. It pushes my pocket 
watch aside and rummages 
for a penny around the safety 
pin that holds the lining to- 
gether. Out it comes and in 
a single motion it goes into 
the slot, as the lever is j 



to one side. 

And down the slot comes— 
you guessed it, a RED ONE! 
A lousy, rotten, disgusting 
red one! Every time! Every 
single time without exception 
to the exclusion of all other 
flavors! 

Last year when someone 
broke the thing I went through 
the gumballs scattered all 
over first floor and picked up 
all the red ones and went into 
the head and flushed them one 
by one down the commode. It 
was the greatest feeling I've 
had since I've been at the 
'Saps. Since then our dorm 
manager, Dan McKee watches 
me suspiciously whenever I'm 
outside my room (so do the 
other inmates over here in 
Buckingham Palace, for that 
matter). I don't think they 
trust me. 

We have got a lot of red 
ones here at Millsaps. Some 
are on the faculty. Most are 
slithering around the grill 
hidden behing high-brow phi- 
losophy books and English lit- 
erature soaked suitably with 
black coffee, nicotine odor, 
and lazy sweat. These are the 
deadheads that inhabit every 
academic institution. 

But why there are so many 
of them (proportionately) in 
the Millsaps Gum Machine I 



dunno. I guess as long 
as their parents keep put- 
ting their pennies into the ma- 
chine they will expect to have 
little red ones coming rolling 
down the Commencement 
Slot marked FORD (stands 
for Fix Or Repair Daily). 

But by and large, after 
close examination, these are 
the ones who mind their own 
business and keep to them- 
selves. The add "color" to 
the Millsaps scene — mostly 
red and pink. But we all know 
the screwballs on campus. 
The bird that never shaves. 
The fellow that never bathes. 
The girl that wears skirts 
tight. And the guy who wears 
black and white. All of them 
are just a little tilted. 

Then there are the green 
gumballs. These are the ones 
that really are just so - so. 
They go to class, put in their 
grill time, and play "I Can't 
Get No Satisfaction" on the 
juke box 15 or 20 times a 
night. They study in the eve- 
nings and are in bed by 10 
o'clock every night. These are 
the rare birds. You hardly 
ever get a green one. But 
most of them are about as en- 
tertaining as watching wet 
paint dry. These you can take

Poetry, Parties, And Pinnings; 
Still No Barbarians In Grill 



By EMILY COMPTON 
Society Editor 

Squirrels have gathered many 
nuts 

And stored them all away. 
I think they should be thank- 
ful too 
On this Thanksgiving Day. 

Laura B. Young 

Just as the little squirrels 
on our campus have been do- 
ing, we too have gathered and 
stored away our "nuts" dur- 
ing the year. Remember next 
week on Thanksgiving Day to 
give special thanks for all the 
blessings you've received! 

We bet that you were sur- 
prised (and a little worried) 
to read a serious opening for 
this column. Don't panic— the 
remainder of the column is 
the same as usual! (Silly, 
stupid, confused, loving, dull, 
but the same!) 

This week we have some 
repetition in our dropped, 
pinned, engaged column. Con- 
gratulations to Bonnie Fuller, 
freshman KD pledge from 
Pascagoula, and David At- 
wood, sophomore KA from 
Meridian; and Michele Gen- 
thon, junior from Jackson, 
and George Morrison, senior 
Lambda Chi from Atlanta, 
Ga., who are pinned! (Re- 
member seeing these names 
in this column not too long 
ago?) 

Congratulations to Lindsay 
Mercer, freshman Phi Mu 



pledge from Vicksburg, and 
Bobby McCool, senior Pike 
from Jackson, who are 
dropped. Also, congratula- 
tions to Susan Duquette, soph- 
omore KD from Somerville, 
Tennessee, and Bill Mayfield, 
junior KA from Taylorsville, 
who are pinned! 

We might not have won all 
our football games this year, 
but we did come out with the 
best record we've had in three 
years. We just want to say 
that we are proud of the Ma- 
jors, Coach Davis, and Coach 
Ranager, and are looking for- 
ward to our next football sea- 
son! 

Last week-end the Tuesday 
Luncheon Club (better known 
as the T.L.C.) had a steak 
supper at the house of Chip 
Bowman, honoring the newly 
selected members. We were 
unable to get their names, but 
we'll have them next week. 

Saturday, November 13, 
was the date of the long- 
awaited KA pledge party at 
Costas Lodge. Music was fur- 
nished by the Impacts and 
a delightful skit "in honor" of 
the actives was presented dur- 
ing intermission. Censureship 
laws forbid us to publish any 
of this entertainment! (Look- 
ing ahead to this week-end. 
The Phi Mus are having a par 
ty Friday night at Costa's 
with music by Booker T. and 
his "four friends."

This weekend, November 
20, is High School Day. Be 
sure to stay around and show 
the visiting seniors the true 
spirit of Millsaps— no, don't 
carry all your books around 
with a frown on your face! 
Participate in the various ac- 
tivities planned for that day. 

We're so excited about the 
new songs on the jukebox, es- 
pecially "Sinner Man" by 
Trine Lopez, "He Touched 
Me" by Barbra Streisand, and 
"Crawling Back" by Roy Or- 
bison. We still want to get the 
song on the Barbarians — may- 
be we should start a petition? 

We'll be so glad to go home 
next Wednesday! Studying 
has definitely taken its toll- 
oops! Don't know whether we 
will be too excited about go- 
ing home since the nine weeks 
grades get there first! 

Anyway we have a delight- 
ful little poem from our lan- 
guage arts course to share 
with you! Written by ten year 
old Robert Tinslen, it has a 
surprisingly deep meaning: 

The Turtle 
The poor little turtle 
Walks so slow 
But he gets everywhere 
He wants to go 

Another one just too much 
of a gem not to share with 
you might be considered ap- 
propriate to various students 
at Millsaps: 

Love 

How much do I love you? 
I cannot say. 
Why, why is it, 
When I see you coming, 
I turn and go the other way? 
Frederica Velaquen, 15

Tennis, Other Activities Enjoyed By 
Millsaps' Talented First Family 



By HELEN PERRY 

Tennis ranks high as a fam- 
ily activity with Millsaps' 
First Family, for all mem- 
bers of the Graves family— 
Dr. and Mrs. Benjamin 
Graves and children Ben, Jan- 
is, and Cindy — enjoy playing 
the game together. 

While a student in high 
school, Dr. Graves became 
interested in tennis. Later, he 
introduced his wife and chil- 
dren to the game. Janis, 15, 
a sophomore at Murrah High, 
and Ben, 17, a senior at Mur- 
rah, have acquired more than 
50 tennis trophies. 

Although they have partici- 
pated in tournaments in six 
Southern s t a t e s, the most 
memorable tournament for 
them both has been the Mid- 
dle Atlantic Invitational, 
which included competitors 
from Virginia, West Virginia, 
Maryland, and Washington. 
The boys' competition was 
held in Annapolis and the 
girls played at the Congres- 
sional Country Club in Wash- 
ington. 

Also becoming proficient in 
the family sport, Cindy, a 13- 
year-old eighth grader at 
Bailey Junior High, recently 
won her first trophy, for girls 
13 years old and under at 
River Hills Country Club. A 
tennis enthusiast, as is the 
rest of the f a m i 1 y, Mrs.

Graves is taking lessons at 
River Hills. "Ben Jr. and I 
play Janis and her father,' 1 
says Mrs. Graves, "until Cin- 
dy wants someone to play 
with her and then we swap 
around." 

Tennis is not the only inter- 
est of this versatile family. 
Mrs. Graves' hobbies range 
from interior decoration to 
music. She received her bach- 
elor of science degree from 
USM and is working on her 
master's degree from LSU. 
She has taught English in 
high school. 

Minoring in music while in 
college, she was band direc- 
tor at a junior college before 
her marriage. "I played the 
cornet in college," this per- 
sonable housewife says, "and 
my family has refused to al- 
low me to practice, so I've 
given it up." "However," she 
adds, "I don't really mind, 
because there are so many 
wonderful things to see and 
do." High on the list of her 
"things to do" is a cor- 
respondence course in interior 
decorating. 



Janis shares her mother's 
love of interior decorating. 
"Although we both enjoy 
learning about different types 
of furniture, we disagree as 
to which type we like best," 
says Janis, "for Mother likes 
simple lines and I like ultra- 
modern." Mother and daugh- 
ter agree that each is entitled 
to her own taste. 

Janis' chief hobby is piano. 
She has taken piano since the 
fourth grade. She also enjoys 
sewing and has made several 
outfits. 

Cooking is Cindy's special 
joy. Her mother proudly says 
that this 13-year-old is an ex- 
pert at making desserts, es- 
pecially cakes, cookies, and 
cheese straws. Cindy has 
studied ballet from the second 
grade. 

Ben, the only son, is a tackle 
on the Murrah North Big 
Eight Champion football 
team. "Ben loves the out-of- 
doors," says Dr. Graves. Mrs. 
Graves adds that Ben enjoys 
a variety of sports. He is con- 
sidering a career in ocean- 
ography.

Choir Seeks Funds 
For Mexico Tour 



By DARRELL. BUSH 

"Two bits, four bits, six 
bits, a dollar; all for the Choir 
stand up and holler!!" This is 
the enthusiastic cry that can 
be heard in the choir practice 
room every day in Galloway 
Hall. The cheer is to boost 
the spirit of the 60 Concert 
members who are dream- 
ing about a spring tour to 
Mexico City!! 

Their plans have not 
stopped with dreaming, how- 
ever. Behind their plans is a 
bright-eyed, bubbling Maggie 
Furr who is just full of 
money-making ideas. 

After Maggie gave the choir 
a pep talk a few weeks ago, 
she was elected by the singers 
to be chairman of an over-all 
committee composed of Anna 
Dennery, Bob Ridgway and 
herself. This committee 
wasted no time in setting up 
other committees for different 
projects. 

The first big project de- 
cided upon was selling candy. 
Bill Mayfield and his helpers 
Betsy Stone, James Williams, 
and Linda Morrow decided to 
start off with 500 boxes of 
peanut brittle, giving each 
choir member 5 boxes and try- 
ing to sell the rest at home- 
coming. 

Monday after homecoming, 
with a distraught look on her 
face, Maggie announced to 
the choir that if they sold 500 
boxes only 16 more times, 
they would be able to get 
from Monterrey to Mexico 
City!! If Maggie has anything 
to say about it, they'll do it. 

In charge of the ticket com- 
mittee for the concert given 
by Frederic Balazs last Fri- 



day night were Marion Fran- 
ces, chairman, Faser Hardin, 
and Johnny Morrow. Mr. Ba- 
lazs, having been stationed 
here in World War II, came 
back to give a concert in 
Jackson at a smaller fee than 
he normally charges. Because 
of this, the choir made a small 
profit. The Concert Choir 
thanks you Mr. Balazz!! 

Also on the agenda are rec- 
ords to be sold. Troubadour 
records, choir records, lots of 
RECORDS! These can be pur- 
chased in the Public Relations 
Office and Mr. Byler's office 
for $4.00. Heading this group 
is Mark Matheny with co- 
workers Susan Duquette and 
Gebby Burleson. 

This campus has not yet 
seen the last of the Concert. 
Maggie has more tricks up 
her sleeve. If you see Mag- 
gie walking around with a 
funny look in her eyes, those 
aren't stars you see — those 
are dollar signs. 



Jolly Is Winner 

Charles E. Jolly, junior 
English major from Collins- 
ville, has won a $1000 schol- 
arship for his outstanding rec- 
ord as a Collier's Encyclope- 
dia salesman during the past 
summer. Millsaps President 
Benjamin B. Graves present- 
ed the award to Jolly Tues- 
day. 

Jolly is one of 15 United 
States and Canadian students 
to win Collier scholarships un- 
der the company's annual va- 
cation training program. Jol- 
ly has participated in the pro- 
gram for two years and has

Millsaps Among Six Colleges 
Gaining NCAA Membership 



PR RELEASE 

Millsaps College is one of 
six institutions which have 
been elected to membership 
in the National Collegiate 
Athletic Association. 

Member institutions of Dis- 
trict Three approved the six 
applications. The other five 
were from Louisiana schools. 

Millsaps teams and 
athletes become eligible for 
National Collegiate Champion- 
ship events as a result of 
their acceptance into the 
NCAA. 

Millsaps athletic officials 
said that membership in the 
NCAA would give the public 
some idea of the standards 
followed by Millsaps in its 
athletic program. They said 
Millsaps' standards were 
actually stricter and would 
remain so, but NCAA mem- 
bership will assure the public 
of a definite minimum. 

A second reason for desir- 
ing membership, the officials 



continued, is that there will 
be a basis for measuring the 
success of programs, teams, 
and individuals. 

NCAA reports that every 
major college or university in 
the United States is a mem- 
ber of the organization as 
well as more than 350 small- 
er institutions. 

The Louisiana schools ad- 
mitted this year are McNeese 



State, Lake Charles; North- 
east Louisiana State, Monroe; 
Northwestern State, 
Natchitoches ; Southeastern 
Louisiana, Hammond; and 
the University of Southwest- 
ern Louisiana, L a f y e 1 1 e. 
Nicholls State, in Thibodaux, 
transferred from associate to 
active membership. 

Total membership in NCAA 
is now 637. 



French Honorary Schedules Film> 



A series of six films, most 
of them produced abroad, are 
being shown at Millsaps this 
year under the sponsorship of 
Pi Delta Phi, national French 
honor society, and the depart- 
ment of romance languages. 

Three of the movies are fea- 
ture - length films and three 
are documentaries. Each of 
three programs will consist 
of a combination of the two 
types. 

The first program was Mon- 



day, November 11, and fea- 
tured "Picasso" and *I1 Gri- 
do." 

The next program on tap is 
Monday, December 13, when 
"Marcel Proust: Masterpieces 
to a Master's Work" and "A 
Song To Remember" will be 
featured. 

Each program will begin at 
7 p.m. in the school cafeteria. 
There is no admission but con- 
tributions will be received to 
support Pi Delta Phi projects.

Halfback Is Well-Manned Position 
For 1965 Major Football Squad 



By TOMMY DAVIS 

Halfback is a well manned 
position on the Millsaps 
Majors this year. Four jun- 
iors, a sophomore and a fresh- 
man make up the six man 
squad. Edwin Massey is the 
senior member of the squad 
having earned two varsity let- 
ters in his two previous years 
with the Majors. A junior 
from Laurel, Edwin is major- 
ing in pre-med. He is both an 
offensive and defensive 
starter. 

David Morris is another 
veteran of last year's team. 
Despite his small size he is 
one of the best runners on the 
field. He is a junior letter 
winner from New Albany. 

Prentiss Bellue is the last 
halfback returning from last 
year. Geology is Prentiss* 
major. He is a sophomore 
from Centerville, Miss, where 
he was a varsity letterman 
for five years. He was voted 
Best Lineman and was a 
member of the Thousand 
Yard Club while in high 
school. Troy Lee Jenkins is a 
junior transfer from Hinds Jr. 
College. He was a member of 
last year's All-Stated Jr. Col- 
lege team. Troy is from Vtria, 
Mississippi and his major is 
biology. 

Jerry Huskey is a junior 
from Redwood, Miss. H i s 
major is history. Jerry played 
football last year at Hinds 
Jr. College and was named 
Honorable Mention All-State. 

Pat Amos is one of the most 
outstanding freshman per- 
formers on this years team. 
He has done an outstanding 
job mostly at defensive safe- 
ty. Pat is from Hazelhurst 
where he was a three year 
letterman and All - Little 
Dixie. He was also elected 
Most Outstanding Lineman 
for two years.

or leave. Greens are better 
than reds. 

Now the yellow ones are 
something else. These are the 
best ones. These are the lead- 
ers. They take an active part 
in their sororities and frater- 
nities. They play hard on the 
football field and the basket- 
ball court. They spend dili- 
gent hours in the choirs. They 
don't eat often in the cafete- 
ria and play "The Sweetheart 
Tree" when they take time 
off to go to the grill. 

They vote in all the elec- 
tions and only study in chapel 
when there is a dull preacher 
talking. They also buy records 
and peanut brittle from the 
choir. Most of the people at 
Millsaps are yellow gumballs. 
So are most of the faculty 
(some of whom recently I 
have found to be yellow rath- 
er than red— it is a good 
thing to know). 

What are you? A green? 
A yellow? Should you want to 
be a yellow if you are a red 
one? Maybe. Maybe not. You 
should be what suits you best. 
If you dig it— man, be a red 
gumball. If you want some- 
thing else, be a green one. 
That's one of the reasons you 
are here. That's the thing that 
makes Millsaps exceptional. 
That's why we're an outstand- 
ing student body. Because we 
are different. Because we get 
along. Because you can read 
a column like this and still 
keep your cork tight (at least 
most of the time, anyway). 
That is why Millsaps will go 
far in its every endeavor. The 
red ones can stay side by side 
with the yellow ones and 
green ones under the glass 
dome of academic freedom 
and citizenship responsibility. 
It is a good thing. 

Take a look around you next 
time you get the chance. How 
many red ones do you see? 
How many yellow ones? How 
many friendships between 
them? A good many, no 
doubt. Why even the KA's col- 
ors are red and yellow! 

"It takes all kinds to make 
up the world," my father once 
told me, "but sometimes I'm 
not so sure about the 
proportions." This may be 
true, but at Millsaps I think 
we've got our share of all 
kinds. 

Still that rotten gum ma- 
chine is out there. "Ron, 
Ron," it coaxes. It dares me! 
It plots! It sneers! I brought 
a small hammer with me 
when I moved back into Bur- 
ton 11 this year. And often- 
times I am tempted. 

I wonder wliere Dan McKee 
is right now. . . .Hmmmmm. .

Well, you can chalk up an- 
other one for the Majors, in 
the lost column. What looked 
like a pretty close game in 
the first half turned into a 
free for - all for Livingston 
State. Millsaps held State to 
seven points in the first half, 
while racking up 6 of their 
own. Something happened the 
second half, State could do no 
wrong and Millsaps no right. 
Captilizing on intercepted 
Millsaps passes, good field po- 
sition, and a poor Major pass 
defense, Livingston added 28 
points wreck our homecom- 
ing. 

Millsaps, still suffering 
from the same old trouble, not 
being able to keep a drive 
rolling met with its fifth loss 
in seven starts. This gives the 
Majors a 2 and 5 record for 
the season. Even this is bet- 
ter than last year and we still 
have one game left to play. 
Being somewhat improved, we 
can look forward to next year. 
Not being hurt by graduation 
the M a j o r s will have prac- 
tically the same team return- 
ing. 

After talking to Coach Mont- 
gomery this week and watch- 
ing the men work out in the 
gym, I believe we can hope 
for a half-way decent basket- 
ball season. Having put in a 
lot of hard work the men 
looked pretty good, even 
with several boys out for a 
week or so. Coach Montgom- 
ery is optimistic about the sit- 
uation, and with support from 
the fan, which is very impor- 
tant, hopes to do better than 
break even. Like any sport, 
it is really hard to tell just 
what will happen until you see 
a game or two and see how 
the men work together under 
pressure. 

The Majors open the Bas- 
ketball season December the 
first, with a home game with 
Huntington of Montgomery, 
Alabama. Following the open- 
er are two road games and 
then home for the Y.M.C.A. 
Invitational Tournament at 
the Mississippi Coliseum the 
7 and 8 of Dec.

as they downed L.S.U. 31 to 
7. Miss. State and Ole Miss 
took another round of losses 
this past weekend. It is really 
hard to judge a team that is 
hot one week, and cold the 
next. One thing for sure is 
that they are both probably 
out of the running for a bowl 
bid. 

Else where in the state. 
Southern picked up another 
win by downing Chattanooga 
17 to 0. This should give the 
Southerners a boost after the 
loss two weeks ago to William 
and Mary. 

The last undefeated college 
team in Mississippi hit the 
dirt this week-end. Jackson- 
ville handed Delta State its 
first loss by a close decision, 
10 to 9. Delta, who has won 
several close ones this year, 
just got on the short end for 
a change. 

Ever once in a while some- 
thing occurs to arouse com- 
ment from this column. Some 
may say that it doesn't pre- 
tain to sports, but I feel that 
it does. My gripe concerns the 
writing that has appeared in 
the drives around campus. 
Participation in such disfig- 
ureing of the campus by Mill- 
saps students, certainly does 
not make a good impression 
on outsiders. Many people 
look upon Millsaps as an out- 
standing institution, which it 
is, and upon its students in 
like manner. Such remarks do 
not benefit the school and are 
certainly not in keeping with 
its strong religious back- 
ground. If students who seek 
to display their 'School Spir- 
it' in such a manner, would 
turn their efforts to more con- 
structive efforts more good 
would be accomplished. So 
lets bring our spirit to the pep- 
rallys and let the men on the 
football field and on the gym 
floor do our talking for us. 




1965 66 MAJOR BASKETBALL SQL AD 



Majors Fall 31-6 To Ouachita 



By JIMMY GENTRY 

ARKADELPHIA, Ark. — 
Ouachita College overwhelmed 
the Millsaps Majors here by 
a score of 31-6. 

The Tigers used the air- 
lanes as their primary weap- 
on of destruction as three 
quarterbacks hit 20 of 37 
passes for 270 yards and all 
four touchdowns. 

The Majors only bright spot 
of the afternoon came when 
halfback Jerry Huskey scored 
on a four yard run. 

Ouachita jumped off to an 
early lead in the first quarter 
when quarterback Frank 
Spainhour passed 20 yards to 
end Jack Mills for the score. 
Frank Harwood kicked the 
extra point. 

In the second quarter Har- 
wood kicked a 31 yard field 
goal. 

With 20 seconds left in the 
first half Spainhour threw to 
halfback Charlie Williams in 
the flat and Williams took it 
eight yards for the TD. Har- 
wood added the extra point. 

The Tigers scored in the 
third quarter with 12:05 left 
to play when Spainhour hit 
Williams on a six yard scor- 
ing pass. 



Mills scored again in the 
fourth quarter as he took a 
six yard toss from Spainhour 
for the TD. Harwood's PAT 
was good. 

Millsaps scored in the 
fourth quarter as Huskey ran 
in from four yards out on a 
power sweep. The play had 



been set up when quarter- 
back Danny Neeley hit 
Huskey with a 28 yard pass.

Nov. 19, 1965 



Varied December Events Are Set 

Since the next issue of the Purple and White will not 
be published until well after the Thanksgiving Holidays, 
there are several upcoming campus events which are of 
interest to the student body. 

The next Millsaps Players' production, "Look Back In 
Anger," is set for December 2-4, the annual production of 
The Messiah by the Music Department is slated for De- 
cember 5, and the fall lecture by Millsaps writer-in-resi- 
dence Eudora Welty is scheduled for December 6. 

All events will be in the Christian Center auditorium.

Campus Visitor Tuesday 
Represents Peace Corps 



A representative from the 
Peace Corps will be on cam- 
pus Tuesday, November 23, 
to speak to students inter- 
ested in becoming volunteers. 
He is Joseph Higdon, a 
former Corpsman with serv- 
ice in the Philippines. 

Mr. Higdon, a University of 
Tennessee graduate, taught 
in an elementary school in 
Mindanao. His appearance 
here will be marked by a talk 
during the Free period at the 
Student Center and a film 
scheduled at 2 p. m. in the 
Forum Room of the Library. 
The film depicts a community 
in India and the tasks facing 
Peace Corpsmen there. 

Before and after the film 
Mr. Higdon will be available 
in Conference Room A of the 
Student Center for individual 
consultation. Those seriously 
interested in becoming 
trainees will be able to take 
the Peace Corps Placement 
Test here on campus on De- 
cember 4th. 

The Peace Corps recruits 
persons from all walks of life, 
although colleges are the 
major source of trainees. No 
special skills are necessary 
for Peace Corps eligibility, al- 
though some of the projects 
do utilize certain skills, such 
as teaching and agricultural 
experience. Liberal arts 
majors are welcomed as ap- 



plicants, and there are many 
projects employing Corpsmen 
who have a general back- 
ground. 

A 1965 Millsaps graduate, 
Milanne Smith, joined the 
Peace Corps last summer; 
she is now in Africa awaiting 
assignment. 



By CHERYL BARRETT 

Most Millsaps students will 
agree that although living 
away from home does have 
its advantages, life can get 
pretty lonely sometimes with- 
out a mother around. Stu- 
dents here are fortunate, how- 
ever, in that there are five 
"mothers away from home" 
who help make college so 
much more enjoyable for all 
(and, of course, who also 
manage to keep students in 
line, if this is ever needed.) 

One of the newest and best 
additions to the Millsaps fam- 
ily is the housemother of 
Founders Hall, Mrs. Dorothy 
McNair, better known as 
"Mrs. Mac." Mrs. McNair 
came to Millsaps for the first 
time last year, although her 
experiences as a housemother 
are many. 

Mrs. McNair started her 
housemothering life as hostess 



Bobashela Leaders For 1965-66 
Are Betsy Stone. Ronnie Dodson 



By HENRY CHATHAM 

Manning the top posts of 
the 1966 Bobashela Staff are 
Betsy Stone, a sophomore 
from Jackson, and Ronnie 
Dodson, a senior from Vicks- 
burg. These two guiding 
forces (the Editor and Busi- 
ness Manager respectively) 
will be aided by one of the 
largest and best equipped an- 
nual staffs in Millsaps history. 

Hailing from Provine High 
School, Miss Stone was on the 
annual staff for two years be- 
fore becoming editor in her 
senior year. Serving as Honor- 
aries Editor last year, she is 
now the editor of the Bobashe- 
la. Her life is not limited to 
the journalistic world, how- 
ever, for she has a keen in- 
terest in science and is a 
biology major. She is a mem- 
ber of the Chi Omega Sorori-

With the assistant editor, 
Mel Maxwell, Miss Stone 
traveled to Montgomery, Ala- 
bama, this past summer. 
While there, they toured the 
plant where the Bobashela is 
printed. Planning a more 
complete coverage of all 
school events, she says, "We 
are planning to stress the new 
spirit of enthusiasm that we 
feel is apparent on the cam- 
pus." 

Ronnie D o d s o n, the Busi- 
ness Manager, is appropriate- 
ly enough an economics ma- 
jor. A member of the Eco- 
nomics Club and the Social 
Science Forum, he plans to 
do graduate work at Stanford 
University. Circle K proudly 
proclaims his membership as 
does the American Institute of 
Physics. He has been with 
The Millsaps Players in 
"Macbeth", "My Fair Lady" 
and "Becket." 

By the very personalities of 
the editors and the ideas they 
have already developed, Mill- 
saps students may look for- 
ward to a new and exciting 
Bobashela for this academic 
year. 



in the Student Union Build- 
ing of Trinity University, San 
Antonio, Texas. After living 
there 25 years she was asked 
to become a housemother at 
Mississippi State University, 
a position she gladly took 
since she had graduated from 
MSCW and her father had 
been a professor at State for 
30 years. 

A mother to two sons dur- 
ing her life, Mrs. McNair was 
housemother in a boys dorm 
for two years at State and en- 
joyed it a great deal, saying 
that the boys "treated me like 
a queen." For her remaining 
six years at State she watched 
over the gins and felt they 
were no more difficult than 
the boys. 

As for her stay here, Mrs. 
Mae remarks that this year 
"I have one of the nicest 
group of girls I've ever had. 
They seem to want to do the 
right thing." 

Mrs. McNair, as stated, has 
two sons and she has five 
grandchildren. 

Some freshmen girls also 
live in Whitworth - Sanders 
where Miss Kate Robertson is 
their guardian angel. "Miss 
Kate," as she is known, has 
been a housemother there for 
11 years and feels that Whit- 
worth - Sanders is her home. 

Having been to college her- 
self, at Grenada, she under- 
stands the girls' spurts of 
energy and feels that fresh- 
man girls "scream a lot." 

This is not the first year 
freshmen girls have been in 
Whitworth-Sanders , although 
for the first time nearly the 
entire second floor of the 
dormitory is filled with fresh- 
men, due to the large first- 
year class. Miss Kate, how- 
ever, enjoys all the girls, re- 
gardless of their class, and 
feels that they are her own 
children. 

During the summer, Mrs. 
Charlie Price is the only girls 
housemother on campus. She 
is housemother at Franklin 
Dormitory throughout the 
school year. 

Although this is only the 
second year she has served 
as housemother, Mrs. Price 
has been associated with Mill- 
saps College for 31 years as 
her husband was a long-time 
professor and chairman of the 
Chemistry Department for

some time before his death 
two years ago. 

She has been chaperone for 
the Millsaps Singers for 13 
years and in this capacity she 
has acquired the nickname, 
"Ma," by which everyone 
knows her. 

Ma Price is the mother of 
three children and all grad- 
uated from Millsaps. 

The boys are lucky to have 
a housemother, period! They 
are especially blessed, how- 
ever, with Mrs. Helen Daniel 
and Mrs. Lena Ton ill. 

Mrs. Daniel, better known 
as "Mrs. Dee," attended Blue 
Mountain College and before 
she married she taught four 
elementary grades for two 
years. She has four daugh- 
ters, 17 grandchildren, and 
one great-grandchild. 

Since 1952, Mrs. Dee has 
been a housemother at Mill- 
saps and she calls her stu- 
dents "my boys." 

Mrs. Dee is housemother at 
Ezelle Hall and is the only 
boys' housemother on cam- 
pus during the summer. 

Mrs. Ton ill, too, likes being 
with the boys this year after 
being with the girls for two 
years as a housemother. She 
won't say which she prefers, 
however, noting that "The 
boys' and girls' behavior is 
evenly balanced." 

To all of her young men, 
she is a "mother away from 
home." Being a housemother, 
she feels, is "rewarding 
work." 

Mrs. Tohill, housemother at 
Burton and Galloway Halls, 
attended Charleston State Col- 
lege before marrying. She 
later worked as relief house- 
mother for a Baptist Nursing 
Home. She has one son and 
three grandchildren. 

Yes, Millsaps students are 
lucky to have five such won- 
derful persons always willing 
to help out in any way they 
can to increase the enjoyment 
of college life.

Meet At State Capitol 



Youth Congress Delegation Is Chosen 



By HENRY CHATHAM 

Representing Millsaps this 
week at the eighteenth Mis- 
sissippi Youth Congress are 
Eugene Countiss, Ronald 
Goodbread, Robbie Lloyd, 
Gerald Lord, and Henry Chat- 
ham, with Harry Shattuck at- 
tending as an alternate. 

The Millsaps delegation is 
sponsored by Pi Kappa Delta, 
national forensics honorary, 
of which Goodbread and Shat- 
tuck are members. Faculty 
sponsor for the group is Mr. 
Orvel Hooker, debate coach. 



Youth Congress is a project 
of the Mississippi Speech As- 
sociation and is held annual- 
ly at the state capitol. Mill- 
saps was host of the first 
meeting. 

Representatives from each 
of the participating high 
schools throughout the state 
compose the House of Repre- 
sentatives while delegates 
from Mississippi colleges and 
universities form the Senate. 
Bills and resolutions passed 
by both houses become laws 
of the Mississippi Youth 
Congress. 



Three bills are being sub- 
mitted by the Millsaps dele- 
gation. One orders that the 
persons choosing text books 
for p u b 1 i c schools shall be 
elected rather than selected 
as in the past. Another pro- 
vides for pretrial conferences 
in state courts. It is designed 
after a federal law of the 
same nature. The third bill 
states that the innocent vic- 
tims of violent crimes shall 
receive financial compensa- 
tion from the state. 

The author of the first bill 



is Robbie Lloyd, while the lat- 
ter two are the work of Henry 
Chatham. Eugene Countiss 
will nominate Ronald Good- 
bread for President Pro Tem- 
pore of the Senate. 

Awards for individual 
achievement will be present- 
ed at a final joint session. 
Certificates are given in the 
following categories: best bill 
submitted, best campaign, 
best nominating speeches, 
best acceptance speeches, 
best debators, best parliamen- 
tarians, and 
mittee work.

On Foreign Policy 



The Millsaps Student Senate, at a 
recent meeting, passed a resolution sup- 
porting United States policy in Viet 
Nam and United States action any- 
where to prevent the spread of com- 
munism. 

In passing such a measure, Millsaps 
joins many other colleges and universi- 
ties throughout the nation which have 
recently endorsed U. S. policy in Viet 
Nam. 

The PURPLE AND WHITE adds its 
endorsement to our U. S. foreign policy 
and commends Student Senate for unan- 
imously passing such a resolution. This 
college generation has attracted a bad 
name for itself what with demonstra- 
tion after demonstration criticizing ev- 
erything and everybody, including U.S. 



policy in Vietnam and it is important for 
those who do support our fight against 
Communism to speak out publicly. 

No American wants war. No Amer- 
ican wanted a World War I or II, a Ko- 
rean War, and no American wants war 
in Viet Nam. However, the United 
States is dedicated to preserve the prin- 
ciples of Democracy and is resolved to 
prevent the spread of Communism. 

Let us always hope that the use of 
force need not be invoked against those 
who oppose Democratic government, 
but let us never stand idly by while 
Communism conquers the free people 
of the world. It is the United States' re- 
sponsibility to defend against Commu- 
nist aggression whether that aggression 
is on U. S. soil or across the ocean. 



Two Students Appointed 
To Chapel Committee 



Students harboring com- 
ments or suggestions concern- 
ing the weekly chapel pro- 
grams are being encouraged 
to refer them to the newly- 
appointed student members 
of the chapel committee, Ron- 
nie Davis and Charles Varner, 
who have been appointed by 
SEB president Larry Adams 
to serve in full capacity on 
the committee. 

Previously, the committee 
has been composed exclusive- 
ly of faculty members, the 
present members being Dr. 
Lee H. Reiff, chairman, Mr. 
Rondal Bell, Dr. Clifton Bry- 
ant, Mr. Leland Byler, and 
Mr. Jack Woodward. 

Dr. Reiff, explaining the 
purpose of the change, said 
he hoped this would provide a 
more open channel for new 
ideas and comments from stu- 
dents. Plans for second - se- 
mester chapel programs have 
already begun and broad poli- 
cies for next year's programs 
are also being formulated at 
the bi-weekly meetings of the 
committee. Dr. Reiff has ex- 
pressed hope of securing a 
large number of nationally 
prominent speakers from 
widely varying fields for next 
year. 

Summer programs are also 
being considered by the chap- 
el committee. The possibility 
of having an open-air concert 
and lecture series on campus 
this summer is being weighed. 

Dr. Reiff remarks that such 
lectures, concerts, plays, and 



speeches by faculty members 
would help keep the commu- 
nity aware of the college in 
the summer and contribute 
to the cultural and education- 
al atmosphere of the city. 



Foreign 



Films 
Are Scheduled 
For Next Monday 

The second program in a 
series of three sponsored 
by Pi Delta Phi, national 
French honorary, and the De- 
partment of Romance Lan- 
guages will feature two films 
shown on Monday, December 
13, at 7 p.m. in the Millsaps 
cafeteria. 

The movies will be "The 
Unswerving Arrow— A Tribute 
to Camus", a color documen- 
tary of the author and his 
work, and "Waltz of the Tore- 
odors", a color adaptation of 
Jean Anouilh's farce starring 
Peter Sellers. 

The third program will take 
place on Friday, January 7, 
and will consist of a film en- 
titled "Marcel Proust: From 
Masterpieces to a Master's 
Work", a color film concerned 
with the influence of music 
and painting on the work of 
Proust, and "A Song to Re- 
member", a biography of 
Chopin and his music. 

The programs are open to 
the public free of admission, 
and contributions will be re- 
ceived to help support future 
Pi Delta Phi projects.

John Quincy Adams Gives Address 
On Constitutional Interpretation 



By HENRY E. CHATHAM 

Bearing the name of a for- 
mer President of the United 
States, political science de- 
partment acting chairman 
John Quincy Adams spoke to 
Millsaps students last week in 
chapel on the current develop- 
ments in constitutional inter- 
pretation. 

Noting the apparent demise 
of the school prayer issue, Mr. 
Adams dealt with current 



problems of the court in con- 
stitutional interpretation — 
freedom of expression and the 
rights of persons accused of 
crime. 

The speaker is a graduate 
of Rice University, received 
his master's degree from Tex- 
as Western, and his law de- 
gree from the University of 
Texas. He is to receive his 
Ph.D. in political science from 
the University of Texas in 
June.

IDEAS 




AND 




OPINIONS 






Shartuck 



The value of the Diamond 
Anniversary scholarship pro- 
gram to our athletic depart- 
ment is quickly noted in that 
the Millsaps football squad 
won two more contests this 
year than last and that the 
Major basketball team, with 
an opening game win, has al- 
ready assured itself as good 
a season as 1964-65's 1-27 rec- 
ord. 

We have firmly backed the 
granting of athletic scholar- 
ships in our editorial policy. 
However, when the Diamond 
anniversary program was es- 
tablished, we were told that 
this would be much more 
than a system of athletic 
scholarships. Other areas of 
student leadership involve- 
ment were also to be affected. 

Although we know of a few 
scholarships awarded to cer- 
tain students for extracurric- 
ular work other than athletics, 
these financial rewards have 
been much smaller than those 
given to our athletes. And 
there have, in fact, been very 
few such scholarships award- 
ed. 

We can't praise the 4 4 Fabu- 
lous Millsaps Non - Marching 
Band" too much for their out- 
standing work this fall. Al- 
though spending many hours 
in practice for only one hour's 
extra - curricular credit, the 
band added not only to our 
football program, but was a 
smash hit with High School 
Day prospective students at 
that day's variety show (even 
though performing 75 minutes 
into the program before a rel- 
atively restless group). 

What about a few small 
scholarships for band mem- 
bers? Or at least for a direc- 
tor? What about a few schol- 
arships for our debaters who 
travel through the South ad- 
vertising the name Millsaps? 
What about the Millsaps Play- 
ers? The outstanding work of 
all of these groups adds 
greatly to the "image" of 
Millsaps College. And there 
are other equally - deserving 
students. 

We don't want any reader 
to get the idea that we're 



against giving athletic schol- 
arships in lieu of aid to these 
other sources, because we 
feel, frankly, that a winning 
football and basketball team 
will do more to attract good 
students to Millsaps than any 
other extra-curricular area. 

However, since the Dia- 
mond Anniversary scholar- 
ships were set up specifically 
for students displaying lead- 
ership in various areas, we 
would like to suggest that 
there are many students who 
work hard and long for Mill- 
saps who just might merit 
consideration for some of 
those non-athletic scholarships 
which are supposed to exist.

We would like to compli- 
ment whoever saw fit to play 
"The Messiah" Sunday night 
over the loudspeaker in the 
cafeteria for those who were 
not able to attend the Singers' 
annual production. 

£ * # 
Readers will note elsewhere 
in this Purple and White edi- 
tion an article mentioning the 
addition of two students to the 
committee concerned with se- 
lecting speakers for the re- 
quired weekly chapel pro- 
grams. The student appoint- 
ments to the committee, pre- 
viously containing only facul- 
ty members, is an excellent 
move. 

While on the subject of 
chapel, we would like to com- 
pliment the chapel committee 
for this year on an outstand- 
ing job. This is this editor's 
fifth semester at Millsaps, and 
never before have we heard 
so little complaining from stu- 
dents about chapel. We have 
had an excellent balance of 
programs including more stu- 
dent participation. The up- 
swing in quality of chapel pro- 
grams appeared to begin in 
the spring semester last term 
and has continued this fall. 

We hope that students will 
exercise their opportunity to 
discuss with their newly-ap- 
pointed committee represen- 
tatives the type of chapel pro- 
grams they would most like 
to witness.

Bathtub Colleges Vs Shower Colleges 



By RONALD GOOD BREAD 
Symposium Editor 

It is entirely possible that 
I may come all the way back 
from the University of North 
Carolina next year to see 
them tear down Burton Hall. 
I made a special trip out here 
after summer school was over 
this summer to see the KA 
house come down. 

Burton has got to be the 
most miserable place on any 
college campus in America. 
One of the things I particular- 
ly detest about it is those rot- 
ten vacilating showers. 
Adolph Eichmann gave the 
Jews a better deal (as far as 
showers go) than we get in 
Burton Hall. 

There never is any hot wa- 
ter, needless to say, and we 
went all this weekend with ice 
cold water coming out of those 
rusty pipes. We got shower 
heads this year (luxury of 
luxuries) but before that we 
had to arrange paper clips on 
the ends of the open pipes to 
divide the gushing water into 
two streams instead of hav- 
ing it co.ae out in one flow 

ning to attend law school- 
after his wedding in June. 

Mary Neal Richerson, a 
German major, is a member 
of the Concert Choir, Schiller 
Gesellschaft, and Pi Delta 
Phi. She is serving as secre- 
tary of the Millsaps chapter 
of the American Guild of Or- 
ganists, secretary of Deutsch- 
er Verein, and membership 
chairman of MSM. A Presi- 
dent's and Dean's list stu- 
dent, Miss Richerson was 
awarded a federal grant last 
year to attend the NDEA sum- 
mer German Institute at 
Northwestern University. 



with fire-hose force. It is real- 
ty disgusting. 

Sometimes Millsaps is like 
those showers in Burton Hall. 
A lot of times the collegiate 
water is really hot; but most 
of the time it is as cold as a 
Phi Mu on a date with the 
SYMPOSIUM editor. Some- 
times we go whole academic 
weekends without any socio- 
logical warmth. This column 
was undertaken to see if the 
present writer could get any 
hot water going, but the near- 
est thing I've been able to do 
is to rile up a few hotheads. 

We do have a panhellenic 
paperclip over the rusting 
pipe of Greek society and it 
divides the water into four 
streams. But it doesn't inte- 
grate it. There are four sepa- 
rate temparatures. One is too 
hot for comfort; one is only 
lukewarm; another is cool and 
wishy-washy; and the last is 
like cold potatoes. 

But we must stop here and 
ask a question. Should we 
have a showerhead of confor- 
mity to make everyone an 
identical little insignificant 
stream of water? Is that what 
Millsaps was intended to do? 
I hardly think so. There is one 
thing you can say about the 
showers in Burton Hall: If you 
stay under them long enough 
you will get clean. But you 
have got to suck it up 
even if the water is cold. 

That is the same as Mill- 
saps. Surely you expected 
some cold w a t e r to dampen 
your spirits when you moved 
in. If you are here for a good 
time, you are wasting it. My 
suggestion is that you go to 
the Rebel Country Club or 
over to Mississippi Lily-White 



Elementary College where 
you won't have to do much ex- 
cept promise not to sign any- 
thing. 

If you stay around here 
long enough the dirt of ig- 
norance will be washed from 
your minds even if the water 
is cold. 

Millsaps lsashower col- 
lege; these others are bath- 
tub colleges. At Millsaps when 
the enlightened shower wash- 
es you with education, the 
mire of close-mindedness is 
washed down the drain. At 
the bathtub college, when and 
if you are washed clean by 
higher education you just sit 
there with the filth of your 
ignorance swirling around 
you. 

The lack of high standards 
at a lot of other institutions 
in the State is really disgust- 
ing. One guy I know not only 
does not take a regular show- 
er, but also fails to take an 
intellectual shower so that 
both he and his point index 
stink like the locker room of 
the New York Giants at half- 
time. 

Surely the water at Millsaps 
has been awfully cold at 
times. But at other times it 
is just right. Like the modern- 
day necklines of today's 
dresses, the academic show- 
ers of Millsaps keep you 
on your toes. And staying on 
your toes keeps your head a 
little above the crowd. 

That's what Millsaps will do 
for you if you stay under long 
enough and that's what makes 
the difference between a bath- 
tub and a shower college. A 
play school bathtub college is 
just like its namesake; once 
you get your foot in it, it's 
not really so hot after all.

Student Senate Resolution Supports 
United States Policy In Vietnam 

Adoption of a resolution ed the following committee to 



pledging support of United 
States intervention in Viet- 
nam highlighted the regular 
meeting of Millsaps* Student 
Senate November 16. 

Vice-president Duck, presid- 
ing over the meeting in the 
absence of SEB president Lar- 
ry Adams, presented the Elec- 
tions' Committee report which 
showed that 395 people 
voted in the Best Dressed Co- 
ed election, a 51.6 per cent 
margin. 

Treasurer Polly Dement 
recommended the Senate pay 
the registration fee of a cer- 
tain number of delegates to 
this week's Mississippi Inter- 
collegiate Council meeting at 
Blue Mountain College. Dele- 
gates chosen are named else- 
where in this paper. 

Senator Jim Carroll brought 
up the possibility of reappor- 
tioning Senate so that Ezelle 
Hall, the largest men's dorm, 
would have a fairer represen- 
tation, at the November 30 
meeting. The president adopt- 



check into the matter: Pren- 
tiss Smith, Maurice Hall, Di- 
ane McLemore, Helen Reid, 
Richard Bundy, and vice-pres- 
ident Duck, chairman. 

Dan Weems, Sammy Tuck- 
er, and Ben Mitchell, chair- 
man, were elected to a food 
services committee which will 
meet regularly with Mr. J. W. 
Wood, business manager, to 
discuss any complaints 
brought to them. 

Senator Wachs moved that 
the registrar's office be asked 
to make an extra copy of stu- 
dents' grades at nine weeks 
end, to be placed in the stu- 
dents' mailboxes. Senate 
unanimously agreed to back 
this motion. 

Treasurer Dement suggest- 
ed that a request be made for 
phones that don't require the 
deposit of money to be placed 
in the men's dorms. Several 
problems were discussed in 
connection with this, but 
Senate agreed to back the mo- 
tion.

and doubles have been decid- 
ed by close matches. Kappa 
Delta's Ann Stephensen best- 
ed Delores Kirkfield for the 
women's singles trophy. Liz 
Bcudine and Mebbie David 
son took the doubles trophy 
for the Chi Omegas by de- 
feating Jeanne Burnet and 
Martha Byrd. 

The women's volleyball 
tournament turned into an ex- 
citing contest after the first 
round ended. Usually the win- 
ners of first round play off the 
tie with second round winners. 

This year first round was a 
three-way tie between Chi 
Omega, the Independents and 



the Phi Mu's. Kappa Delta 
didn't scratch during first 
round but with a great rally 
ran away with second round. 

The three first round win- 
ners drew for a match to 
break the tie. The teams 
played the best two out of 
three to win. Phi Mu drew Chi 
Omega and the three games 
were never close. Phi Mu stole 
the first 15-4. The Owls re- 
vived their spirits and took 
the next two games 15-11, 15-2. 

The second match to break 
the tie slated Chi O against 
last year's winning Independ- 
ents. The Independents fought 
hard and beat the Chi Ome- 
gas. 

Thus, the Independents 



were the first round winners 
and had to play the KD's who 
won the second round. The 
lndepends won the first game 
easily 15-5. The second and de- 
ciding game was a little 
rougher with the Independents 
winning 15-13. 

Points will be given to the 
first four teams who placed 
in volley ball. At the end of 
the year an over-all trophy 
will go to the team with the 
most intramural points. 

Tennis and badminton 
points haven't been decided 
yet, as they are individual 
rather than team sports.

Kathy Hymers Wins 
Best Dressed Title 



By BEVERLY BROOKS 

Kathy Hymers was elected 
Best Dressed Coed in a cam- 
pus - wide election November 
16. The ten best dressed stu- 
dents were chosen in the 
voting by the student body. 

The honor marked the sec- 
ond title won by Miss Hymers 
in less than two weeks. She 
recently reigned over the 1965 
homecoming festivities. 

Kathy, a senior education 
major, was elected the num- 
ber two beauty in last year's 
Beauty Review sponsored by 
the Bobashela, campus year- 
book. She is on the Dean's 
List, a staff member of the 
Bobashela, and is a member 
of Chi Omega sorority. 

Tailored clothes dominate 
Kathy 's wardrobe and sports- 
wear is her favorite. She buys 



most of her clothes at her 
home in Jackson, Tennessee, 
and green is her favorite col- 
or for many items. 

The contest was sponsored 
by Glamour magazine and the 
Student Senate. Nomina- 
tions were made by submit- 
ting petitions containing thir- 
ty signatures for each con- 
testant. 

Kathy will now enter a na- 
tionwide contest sponsored by 
Glamour in search of the best 
dressed college coed in 
America. 

Others chosen among the 
top ten best dressed girls at 
Millsaps were Virginia Alford, 
Carolyn Tabb, Ann Alford, Pat 
Murphree, Suzanne Statham, 
Cheryl Barrett, Susan McLe- 
more, O'Hara Bass, and Toot- 
ie Sims. 




Kathy Hymers, recently selected as Best Dressed 
Girl at Millsaps is wearing an imported, long sleek, 
beaded formal, found from a selection of glamorous 
gowns for the holidays in Kennington's Imperial 
Room.

Kappa Alpha-Kappa Sigma Contest Next Week 
To Determine Basketball Tourney Championship 



By REID BINGHAM 

The Monty Inviational 
Tournament opened the week 
before Thanksgiving and at 
this writing only two undefeat- 
ed teams are left, the Kap- 
pa Sigma number one team 
and the Kappa Alpha number 
one team. . .Play will continue 
until Christmas but the big 
game will be the Sig No. 1 vs. 
KA No. 1 game on December 
13. 

The Tournament opened 
with the KA No. 1 team out- 
gunning the Sig No. 2 team 
68-36. The KA's overall con- 
sistent shooting was the key 
factor in keeping their lead. 
Gene Horton of the Sig's was 
high man of the night with 
18 points followed by Joe 
Bailey of KA's with 13. 



The Lambda Chi No. 2 
team, composed of their best 
players, exploded in the fourth 
quarter to take the Pikes 50- 
36. The game was tied 33-33 
at the end of the 3rd quarter, 
but Jerry Duck and David 
Powers exploded for 15 points 
in the 4th quarter to give the 
Chi's their win. Duck was high 
point man of the night with 
18 while Murf Evans lead the 
Pikes with 14. 

The same night the Inde- 
pendents crushed the Lambda 
Chi's No. 1 team 83-19. The 
game was never in doubt with 
Mickey Woods going for high 
man with 22 points. 

The next week started with 
the Sig No. 1 team defeated 
the KA No. 2 team 60-35. The 
big difference was the con-

points per quarter. This en- 
abled them to pull away from 
the KA's. Rod Bartlett was 
high man with 23 points with 
George Williamson following 
with 16 for the Sigs. Steve 
Miles lead for the KA's with 
12. 

The second game of the 
night saw the KA No. 1 beat 
the Independents 66-47. Again 
it was a consistent attack 
that made the difference. The 
Independents went cold in the 
second and fourth quarters 
while the KA's balanced of- 
fense moved at the same 
pace throughout the game. In- 
dependent Mark Mathney was 
high point man with 15 fol- 
lowed by KA Johnny Nickolic 
and Independent Mickey 



Wood with 13 points apiece. 

In the last game before the 
holidays the Sig No. 2 team 
easily desposed of the Lamb-

Richard Bundy was high man 
of the night with 32 points 
followed by Gene Horton with 
24 for the Sigs. 

In the first game after the 
holidays the KA's No. 2 team 
finally started clicking in the 
second quarter to defeat the 
Pikes 37-21. No one scored a 
point for the first ZVz min- 
utes and at the half the 
KA's were 3 points ahead. 
Steve Miles and Wayne Up-

Dec. 9, 1965 PURPLE & 



By J. K. SMITH 

The football season ended 
for the college teams through 
the nation, with the exception 
of bowl games, last weekend. 
As the season on the Millsaps 
campus has been completed 
for several weeks now there 
was no action involving the 
Majors. 

The Crimson Tide of Ala- 
bama wrapped up the S.E.C. 
title by whipping the Auburn 
Tigers by a whoping 30 to 3. 
This score would seem to in- 
dicate that the scrapping Tig- 
ers gave up without much of 
a fight, which may be exactly 
what happened. 

The Tigers will, in my opin- 
ion, do anything but give up 
when they play Ole Miss in 
the Liberty Bowl, Dec. 18 in 
Memphis. The Tigs should 
walk away with a win by 
some 13 points. 

Georgia also pulled off a 
good one this week-end, as 
they downed Georgia Tech 17 
to 7. Whether this will have 
any effect on the out come of 
the Gator Bowl, between Tech 
and Texas Tech or not re- 
mains to be seen. Sometimes 
the best thing that can happen 
to a team is to loose a game 
just before really big contest. 

Ole Miss again captured 
the "Golden Egg" from the 
State Bulldogs and it may 
take another 18 years for the 
Bulldogs to get it back. This 
victory was not a surprise 
at the end of the season, but 



it would have been hard to 
think of at the first of the 
season when Ole Miss was 1 
and 3 and State was 4 and 0. 

We would like to congratu- 
late a great high school team, 
Jackson Murrah, for winning 
the Miss. Big Eight title this 
past week-end. The Mustangs, 
who always play a better sec- 
ond half, came from behind 
10 to 0 to win 13 to 10 over 
Gulf port. 

Coach Montgomery's Invi- 
tational Basketball Tourna- 
ment is underway at the pres- 
ent time, but the results are 
incomplete so we don't know 
just who will win. 

The basketball season will 
be getting underway soon 
throughout the state. Millsaps 
opened Dec. 1 against Hunt- 
ingdon in the first home game 
of the season. The Majors 
downed the Hawks 90 to 84 in 
a seensaw battle before a gal- 
lery of enthusiastic fans. If 
this is a sample of what 



Coach Montgomery meant 
when he told this writer in a 
pre-season interview that he 
thought the Majors would be 
in a "competiative" position 
this year, lets see some more 
of it. Jerry Sheldon and Tom 
Kopplin were high scorers for 
the Majors with 26 and 24 
points in that order. Everyone 
played a good game and I 
think we should have some- 
thing to look forward to. 

Congratulations go out to 
the following men who re- 
ceived awards at the Millsaps 
football banquet: Gerold Rob- 
bins, best blocker; John Hart, 
the James Hood Award for 
the most outstanding line- 
man; Timmie Millis, the Har- 
vey Newell Award for the 
most valuable player; and 
Jerry Huskey, the most im- 
proved player. I think all the 
men did a real good job this 
year, and we should look for- 
ward to a much better team 
next year.

week's P & W.

SCENES FROM "LOOK BACK IN ANGER" — Two scenes are depicted from the Millsaps Players' production of "Look Back In 
Anger" which is currently in the middle of a Tuesday Saturday five night run in the Galloway Hall Arena. Pat Galloway 
offers a helping hand to Doug Smith in the picture at left, while at right Smith and Miss Galloway are under the searching 
eyes of star Gordon Langseth. 

Players' Hidden Qualities Displayed 
In Osborne's "Look Back In Anger" 



By POLLY DEMENT 

Ever seen a noble female 
rhino, poleaxed at last? Drop 
by play rehearsals sometime 
—Pat Galloway might just 
poleax her husband, Jimmy 
(Gordon Langseth, that is!) 

"Look Back in Anger" 
seems to be a play which 
draws out many of our Play- 
ers' hidden qualities — re- 
pressed, perhaps? — in-the- 
round and out. 

Throughout the play Lang- 
seth spews forth his endless 
stream of obscenities as if he 
speaks them in his sleep. (He 
probably does by now!) And 
he and Douglas Smith tum- 
ble about the hard floor in 
Galloway Hall like a couple 
of professional ruffians. 

Then there's the frantic 
love scene between Donna Ca- 
den and Gordon. Donna gives 
him a long - deserved slap 
across the face, then reaches 
up to ease the pain. . .and 
reaches. . and reaches. . .and 
reaches. . . 

Donna says that such stage 
handicaps can be overcome 
with a little ingenious prac- 
tice. "Brin showed me how to 
do the love scenes last night," 



she said at one point. "I stood 
on a chair and played like I 
was Gordon." (Brin, inciden- 
tally, is her long - suffering 
roommate. ) 

"A main problem/' com- 
mented one Player, 4, is get- 
ting the lines down pat." 
Imagine the confusion when 
Pat Galloway's vocabulary 
enlarges upon simple King's 
English. "He went into the 
fray with his ax swinging, 11 
she ad libbed once, when all 
the poor fellow did was go in- 
to battle. These ad libs are 
quite humorous, but the "next 
fellow" doesn't think it's so 
funny when he misses his 
cue. 

Such frustrations! But with- 
in the framework of the play 
they are multiplied and inten- 
sified. Speaking of Jimmy, Di- 
rector Lance Goss comments, 
"He's the angriest young man 
I know." 

"Religion, politics — he has 
nothing tangible to fight for," 
says Pat Galloway, Jimmy's 
wife. "He has no real cause- 
no cause worth fighting for." 

Analyzing his own charac- 
ter in the play, Langseth felt 
that "a nasty guy" was an

apt description of Jimmy. "He 
learned hate, love, betrayal, 
at too early an age." He also 
felt that Jimmy was born out 
of his time. 

"People think he's vulgar 
and a loudmouth," Langseth 
went on, "and yet he has a 
tenderness quality, too. He's 
a very complex individual." 

At the receiving end of Jim- 
my's anger is his wife, Ali- 
son. Coming from an upper- 
middle class family, Alison at 
first fights back against Jim- 
my's tirades. "Then," says 
Miss Galloway, "she realizes 
that the only way she can get 
to him is by giving up." 

"Jimmy hates her up to the 
last minute of the play," 
Langseth says. But if ever 
"giving up" were beautiful, 
don't miss the last scene. 

Donna Caden seems to be 
the personification of mixed- 
up values in the character of 
Helena Charles. She mentions 
some "book of rules" for their 
carryings-on but a copy can't 
be found in the Millsaps-Wil- 
son library. 

Helena comes to visit her 
good friend, Alison, and 
ends up sleeping in her hus- 
band's bed. An expectant Ali- 
son goes home for the dura- 
tion of her pregnancy, and her 
baby miscarries. "Helena be- 
lieved that Alison's losing her 
child was a judgement on her- 
self," says Donna. 



"Nobody, that's what I am." 
This line from the play, says 
Douglas Smith, characterizes 
Cliff Lewis. 

"I'm half asleep during 
much of the play, day-dream- 
ing," he says. "It's not that 
I'm trying to remember my 
lines." 

"I'm irritating," Doug con- 
tinues, "because I'm too 
agreeable." "Jimmy has to 
hang on to Cliff, though, be- 
cause he is the last real 
friend he has left. 

Colonel Redfern, Alison's fa- 
ther, is the minor role, but 
what an impact he makes! 
George Morrison, playing 
•Daddy,'' could hold even 
the rehersal audience spell- 
bound. 

A few glimpses of behind- 
the scene humor, a little in- 
sight into the characters- 
such are the previous com- 
ments. But the real essence 
of "Look Back in Anger" can 
be captured only through a 
first-hand view of its perform- 
ance. 

"Any message which the 
play might have," comments 
Alison, 4 'is that human rela- 
tionships are more important.' 

Other local critics are hesi- 
tant to generalize, however. 
Perhaps the safest generaliza- 
tion is expressed by Judy 
Powell, property mistress and 
prompter, as she says, "It 
gets a bit fierce in places." 
And it does! 



Play Continuing; 
Performances Held 
In-The-Round 

"Look Back in Anger," the 
Millsaps Players' startling 
new production, opened at 
8:15 Tuesday night in the Gal- 
loway Hall Arena. 

"The first really angry 
young man,' 1 as Director 
Lance Goss describes Jimmy 
Porter, is enacted in this 
John Osborne drama. Per- 
formances will run through 
Saturday night. 

At the head of the five-mem- 
ber cast, Gordon Langseth 
plays the role of the angry 
young man, Jimmy Porter. 
Langseth, a freshman, drew 
favorable reaction from crit- 
ics earlier this year through 
his performance in "The 
Crucible." 

Pat Galloway, a veteran in 
Millsaps Player productions, 
is cast as Jimmy's wife, Alli- 
son. Miss Galloway was 
named best actress last year 
for her performance in "The 
Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here 
Anymore." 

Making her debut on the 
Millsaps stage, Donna Caden 
steps in as Alison's good 
friend, Helen Charles. Eye- 
brows are raised as Miss Ca- 
den walks a tightrope between 
her "good friend" and Jim- 
my. 

Douglas Smith, also making 
his first entrance to Millsaps* 
production, plays Cliff Lewis. 
He's the only friend Jimmy 
hasn't driven away, and even 
Cliff almost walks out. 

Appearing as Alison's fa- 
ther, George Morrison takes 
the role of Colonel Redfern. 
For his role in "Mr. Roberts" 
last spring, Morrison received 
the junior acting award. 

Osborne, one of Britain's 
own Angry Young Men, was 
named the most promising 
playwright of the year by the 
British newspaper Evening 
Standard following the London 
production of Look Back in 
Anger." Opening at the Royal 
Court Theatre in May, 1956, 
its cast included Ken- 
neth Haigh, Mary Ure, and 
Alan Bates. A filmed version 
starred Richard Burton, 
Claire Boom, and Mary Ure.

THE ABOVE SCENE, "Christ Child and the Bringing of Presents,'' is featured on a Christmas card being sent this year by 
Millsaps College. The art work was done by Martha Guillotte, sophomore from Biloxl, a student under Mr. Karl Wolf in the 
Millsaps art department. 



5-Term Calendar, New Courses 
Proposed By Special Committee 



PR RELEASE 

A curriculum study commit- 
tee at Millsaps College has 
made a proposal which calls 
for 

— a calendar which would 
divide the year into five 
terms, one only one month 
long; 

— a division of five arts, 
with majors offered in art, in 
speech and drama, and in 
music; 

— a required interdiscipli- 
nary course in the humanities 
which would involve history, 
English, philosophy, the fine 
arts, and religion; 

— a required interdiscipli- 
nary course in natural science 
which would give the student 
a background in the physical, 
biological, and mathematical 
sciences ; 

— more emphasis on the 
study of non-Western civiliza- 
tion; 

— an interdisciplinary senior 
seminar on 20th Century is- 
sues and values. 

Plans presently call for the 
institution of the new curricu- 
lum on a gradual schedule, 
with some changes becoming 
effective on a pilot basis pos- 
sibly in the fall of 1986. The 
proposal, which officials de- 
scribed as "an exciting new 
concept in education," is the 
result of years of study by the 
faculty. 

The most obvious changes 
would be in the calendar. The 
proposal is to have a fall

A Letter To The Student Body 



To The Students Of Milk 
saps College, 

Millsaps College is under 
consideration by the Ford 
Foundation in its Chal- 
lenge Grant Program for 
liberal arts colleges and 
universities considered po- 
tential centers of excel- 
lence. These grants are un- 
restricted and represent 
monies of real substance, 
ranging up from one mil- 
lion dollars. Matching con- 
ditions are always speci- 
fied. Southern schools 
which have received grants 
include Davidson, Se- 
wanee, Southwestern, Van- 
derbilt, and Tulane. Selec- 
tion puts one in relatively 
rare company. Four or 
five schools will probably 
be selected for grants next 
spring from dozens being 
reviewed. 

The first phase of the in- 
vestigation was a visit in 
late October by Dr. Eliza- 
beth Paschal, of Palto Alto, 
California, an Educational 
Consultant to the Special 
Programs Section of the 
Ford Foundation. Dr. Pas- 



chal was on our cam- 
pus for three days, during 
which she talked to the ad- 
ministration, members of 
the faculty and student 
body and to a dinner meet- 
ing with representatives 
from a cross - section of 
Millsaps constituencies. 

The report of this pre- 
liminary visitor was appar- 
ently favorable inasmuch 
as we have now been 
asked, as of last week, to 
proceed to the profile stage. 
Completion of this profile 
will represent a massive 
undertaking. The profile is 
divided into two basic seg- 
ments and will cover our 
accomplishments over the 
past ten years period and 
our projected plans for the 
next ten years. The first 
segment is statistical, and 
the second portion is essen- 
tially descriptive. If a 
study of these data, which 
must be submitted by 
March 1, 1966, is also en- 
couraging, tfliere is then 
likely to be a visit by a 
larger body from the Ford 
Foundation. And may stop 



the investigation at any 
stage, however. 

Although I consider this 
invitation to proceed to the 
second stage encouraging, 
I want to make it clear 
that this is but anoth- 
er step in the investiga- 
tive process and is not to 
be construed as a commit- 
ment from Ford. Irrespec- 
tive of the outcome of this 
review, however, I believe 
that we need to make such 
a study and will find that 
it will be of great value to 
us. 

I think you will agree 
with me when I say that 
this opportunity could pro- 
vide a big chance for Mill- 
saps to move to a higher 
level of quality and distinc- 
tion among the nation's ed- 
ucational institutions. I 
will keep you informed of 
developments. 

Your interest, coopera- 
tion, loyalty and continu- 
ing support will be very 
much appreciated. 
Sincerely yours, 
Benjamin B. Graves 



Millsaps Senators 
Win Honors At 
Youth Congress 

By HENRY E. CHATHAM 

The eighteenth annual Mis- 
sissippi Youth Congress end- 
ed Saturday after an awards 
ceremony and adoption of a 
resolution supporting United 
States policy in Viet Nam. 

About 500 students from 
fourteen colleges and thirty- 
four high schools throughout 
the state were on hand for 
the three - day mock legisla- 
tive session sponsored by the 
yviississippi Speech Associa- 
tion. 

Of the ninety-six bills intro- 
duced, twelve cleared both 
the Senate and the House. 
One of the most controversial 
measures was a bill to vali- 
date racially mixed mar- 
riages in Mississippi. The pro- 
posal, which passed the Sen- 
ate by an overwhelming ma- 
jority, would recognize an in- 
terracial marriage performed 
in other states. The measure, 
submitted by the Hinds Jun- 
ior College delegation, lost by 
30 votes in the House, com- 
posed of high school students 

The marriage bill was ap- 
proved unanimously by the 
Senate Social Welfare Com- 
mittee of which Henry Chat- 
ham was chairman. 

Although none of the three 
bills submitted by the Mill- 
saps delegation were ap- 
proved by both houses of the 
Congress, Chatham's bill was 
awarded a superior rating. 

Among other honors re- 
ceived by the five-man Mill- 
saps Senate group, Ronald 
Goodbread won an award for 
outstanding work in the Gov- 
ernment and Politics Com- 
mittee, Gerald Lord won su- 
perior awards for Parliamen- 
tary Procedure, and Henry 
Chatham and Robbie Lloyd 
claimed superior honors for 
Speaking From the Floor. 

Eugene Countiss nominated 
Goodbread for President Pro 
Tempore of the Senate in a 
losing effort. Mr. Orvel Hook- 
er was the faculty sponsor 
and a judge in the House of 
Representatives. 

The Millsaps delegation was 
selected and sponsored by the 
campus chapter of Pi Kappa 
Delta, national forensics and 
debate honorary.

Millsaps Versus M. C. 



Last week an athletic rivalry was 
temporarily renewed at the Mississip- 
pi Coliseum when Millsaps and Missis- 
sippi College battled in an opening- 
round game of the Magnolia Invitation- 
al Basketball Tournament. Millsaps did 
not win the ball game, but several 
points were proven despite the loss. 

(1) We think it was shown that Mill- 
saps can compete on the same level 
with Mississippi College despite the lat- 
ter's doubled student body enrollment. 
The Majors did not turn in one of their 
better efforts, yet still lost by only five 
points. The game, frankly, was much 
closer than most Millsaps games. 

Whether Millsaps can compete with 
M.C. in football is a question hard to 
answer. One team, Austin, which ad- 
ministered a one-sided defeat to Mill- 
saps, was beaten by the Choctaws. On 
the other hand, another squad, Living- 
ston State, handled M.C. just as handily 
as they beat Millsaps. 

However, at least in basketball, Mill- 
saps can stay on the floor with Missis- 
sippi College a lot easier than with Da- 
vid Lipscomb, Delta State, and a few 
other schools on the schedule. If that is 
the reason the rivalry hasn't been re- 
newed, then it can't stand up. 

(2) Both student bodies proved that a 
reasonable amount of good conduct by 
the student bodies can be maintained, 
even when the two school student sec- 
tions are sitting within a few feet of 
each other (as they ridiculously were 
last week). 

The M.C. — Millsaps rivalry was ter- 
minated, supposedly, because of poor 



behavior. A completely different set of 
students is attending both schools, now, 
however, and it is not fair to punish 
one group of students because of the 
acts of others. 

If fear of violence occurring is the 
reason that the rivalry hasn't been re- 
newed, then this, too, cannot stand as a 
valid excuse. Persons are innocent un- 
til proven guilty. Both student bodies 
deserve a little more faith from the 
heads of the respective athletic depart- 
ments. 

(3) There has long been a complaint 
about "apathy" on the part of the stu- 
dent body with regard to athletic at- 
tendance and support. This apathy was 
not evident last week, when a large 
crowd was willing to pay $1.00 and go 
off campus to the coliseum, despite a 
heavy test schedule for the week, to 
root the Majors on. 

A heated and hard-fought grudge ri- 
valry between two schools, is almost 
necessary to arouse fan interest. Mill- 
saps, unfortunately, has no such rival. 
School officials saw how last week's 
game with M.C. multiplied the Millsaps 
attendance. And once you get students 
going to games, they're likely to go 
again. 

The PURPLE AND WHITE urges 
that the athletic rivalry between Mill- 
saps and Mississippi College be re- 
newed immediately on a regular basis. 
Our teams can compete as well as they 
can compete with the present opposi- 
tion, our fans deserve an opportunity to 
prove their behavior, and our athletic 
program will benefit from the matches. 



Letter-To-The-Editor . . . 



Millsaps Student Senate Criticized 
For Anti-Christian Attitudes 



Dear Sir, 

I would like to congratulate 
the Millsaps Mickey Mouse 
Club on its unanimous en- 
dorsement of the "status quo 
bellum" and its total agree- 
ment with the idea that the 
United States has practically 
been ordained by God as the 
Great - White - Father - Im- 
perial - Protector of the un- 
derprivileged, unenlightened 
billions of the world. The stu- 
dent senate reflects the very 
sensible attitude of a minority 
sroup which has managed to 
gain control of the summit po- 
sition of the world economic 
situation by hook, crook, a lot 
of luck, and a relatively small 
amount of work. As long as 
one third of the world's total 
population suffers from mal- 
nutrition (and a large portion 
of this third we consider 
enemies), I refuse to have 
any part of such pompous, 
inhuman, gloating acts of self- 
assertion and ethnocentrism 
as was committed by the stu- 
dent senate. 

Every organism from the 
smallest protozoan to the most 
massive gorilla fights both of- 
fensively and defensively, but 
only man is capable of a con- 
scious, chosen act of non-vio- 
lence. One single act of non- 
violence by Jesus Christ has 
done more to affect the his- 
tory of the entire world than 
any single war in all of his- 
tory. 



As a Christian student body 
attending a Christian institu- 
tion, the student body is obli- 
gated to support the basic 
Christian beliefs. At the risk 
of being labeled bitter, I 
would like to state that the 
student senate has managed 
to sit around on its apathetic, 
"silent-fifties" posterior and 
unanimously make a com- 
plete farce of one of the es- 
sential laws of Judeo- 
Christian ethics (namely 
the unqualified commandment 
against killing) and one of the 
outstanding concepts of Chris- 
tianity (namely the condem- 
nation of material wealth — 
see Mt. 6:19 and Mk. 
10:17-31). 

True happiness and peace 
will not be gained by repeti- 
tion of the errors of the past, 
but by painful recognition of 
the past's errors. The condi- 
tion of contemporary man will 
not be improved by hostile 
animals acting by fear, rather 



it will be improved by humble 
men who comprehend the 
existence of other human 

beings.

IDEAS 




AND 




OPINIONS 






Shattuck 



Let us begin this week's 
column by offering to each of 
our readers a Merry Christ- 
mas and a Happy New Year! 
We hope all have a lot of 
good times (and get a lot of 
rest, yawn), while keeping in 
mind the true meaning of 
Christmas. 



We noticed last week a 
newspaper clipping which re- 
vealed that the co-editors of 
the North Carolina State stu- 
dent newspaper recently edi- 
torialized in favor of having 
the singing of "Dixie" banned 
on the North Carolina State 
campus. 

We cannot understand how 
anyone can have so little 
pride as to make such a sug- 
gestion. Besides the fact that 
Dixie is recognized East, 
South, North, West, and 
abroad, as one of the most 
beautiful American songs 
ever composed, it is a tradi- 
tion for Southerners who, un- 
like so many people these 
days, take pride in their 
South and in the United 
States. 

Why not just go on and do 
away with America the Beau- 
tiful and the Star Spangled 
Banner, or even Jesus Loves 
Me? Some "intellectuals" will 
probably be advocating that 
pretty soon! But we have a 
feeling that songs like these, 
and like "Dixie," will be 
around for a good many years 
to come!

Christmas Time 1965 Is Only U A Bunch Of Humbug 



By RONALD GOODBREAD 
SYMPOSIUM EDITOR 

Bright lights, gaudy fixtures 
on city hall, aluminum Christ- 
mas trees, free-flowing booze, 
wild parties, crowded stores, 
traffic jams, exhorbant prices, 
and extravagant presents — 
yes it's Chri$tma$ time again. 

Oh, ain't it wonderful! Isn't 
it just awe-inspiring to see 
the department stores cash in 
on everything from cheap 
plaster imitations of the scene 
of the birth of the Savior of 
all Mankind, to a child's in- 
nocent belief in Santa Claus 
with some character whose 
patience is only exceeded by 
the strength of his knee and 
his mercenary greed. 

Truly it is the season of 
cash on earth, good credit to- 
ward men. Truly Chri$tma$ 
is "a bunch of humbug!" 

Now to someone who is as 
sardonic and disgruntled as 
the SYMPOSIUM editor usual- 
ly is, this could be the only 
view of Christmas that is ap- 
parent. But it is pointed out 
reading: ' 'Make Your Christ- 
mas Happier: Shop Down- 
town." 

here, not to illustrate that this 
is, indeed, the only Christmas 
we know, but rather, that in 
our rapidly advancing society, 
where so many things are set 
in their ways and taken for 
granted, Christmas could well 
become such to those who are 
too young to remember other- 
wise. 

There once was a time 
when Christmas was for the 



family. There once was a 
time when no matter how 
poor you were that Christmas 
had a special meaning — when 
the orange or apple or candy 
cane you got on that special 
morning tasted sweeter than 
any other one you'd ever had. 
Now you hear children ask, 
"While visions of what danced 
through their heads! 

There once was a time when 
Christmas meant a renewed 
love for those with whom you 
shared it. There once was a 
time when it seemed so long 
in getting here and yet 
seemed just as long in de- 
parting, because the true 
Christmas spirit stayed with 
you at least until New 
Year's. Now it's "only 17 
more shopping days 'til 
Christmas." 

There was once a time also, 
—not altogether lost, yet — 
when Christmas was a reli- 
gious holiday and was cele- 
brated with a reverent sim- 
plicity. It would probably not 
be very far from absolute 
truth to say that in nineteen 
hundred some-odd years that 
Christmas has not been as 
simple or reverent as it was 
during the first thirty-three 
times it was celebrated. 

In the final judgment, there 
was once One who never saw 
a snow, or rode in a "one- 
horse open sleigh" or wor- 
ried about a gift for all 42,012 
people he knew, who would 
be very much offended if He 
saw the joy of Christmas sum- 
marized in a giant billboard 



SILHOUETTE 

BY WALTER SLAUGHTER 



Happy Days Are Here 
Again! 

Here's the story: Immedi- 
ately after "Silhouette" ap- 
peared for the first time a 
few weeks back, a number of 
people asked me from whence 
cometh your title. It's a long, 
involved story, but briefly: 
"Silhouettes" is a favorite 
song of a very good friend. 
Ole sentimental me! 

On Thanksgiving:: I don't 
know how many of you have 
ever graced the Millsaps* 
campus during Thanksgiving 
holidays, but take it from me 
(as I had the good fortune 
to be stranded here) life 
ceases. My only amusement 
was a friendly game of cow- 
boys and Indians with a band 
of eight and nine year olds 
who were rampaging Ezclle 
Hall. I was Chief Crazy 
Horse! 

On High School Day: Since 
practically every freshman on 
campus volunteered to guide 
the High Schoolers around on 
Show - Tell - and Shoot The 
Bull Day, this columnist nat- 
urally followed suit. The most 
impressive exhibit on campus 
was, without a doubt, the rest 
rooms in the sorority houses. 



It almost got to the point of 
where the Greek - Letter - La- 
dies would invite you to their 
rest room and save proper in- 
troductions til later. 

Writers' Club: I sat in on 

the last meeting of the Writ- 
ers' Club, and found the en- 
tire chat to be most enjoya- 
ble. If you ever get the 
chance (and all are invited) 
to drop by a meeting please 
•do. They serve good coffee, 
and conduct their meet- 
ings with a pleasurable de- 
gree of informality. 

Profile: There is this boy. 
He's a short, stocky fresh- 
man from Laurel. Since the 
name's the thing— it's Clyde 
Moore, and a more vivacious 
chap you'll find nowhere. 
Clyde has this combo back 
home in which he's the fea- 
tured singer. He says they 
do a night club variety act 
which runs somewhere be- 
tween thirty minutes to an 
hour. If you're ever in need 
of party entertainment give 
Clyde a ring. His routine in- 
corporates a balanced mix- 
ture of popular and show 
tunes with hints of comedy 
thrown in for good measure. 
A pretty good deal says he, 
so think on it! 



There once was a time 
when children had a belief, 
springing from this simple 
faith, that there was a Santa 
Claus, or a St. Nicholas, or a 
what-have-you, and if they did 
not believe in him as a real 
person, they believed in him 
as a feeling of love for all 
children and all people every- 
where. They believed in him 
as a wish to share the good 
feeling of Christmas time 
with everyone they knew — 
and even with those they 
didn't know. 

But now he only appears as 
something to humor mom and 
dad so they won't have to ex- 
plain why they have to leave 
on Christmas eve to struggle 
downtown to spend a week's 
pay on more junk to be for- 
gotten in a few weeks. Now 
Santa Claus is not a spirit of 
goodwill— he's "only Daddy." 

Now, for the third time in 
the lives of most of us here, 
Americans must fight to de- 
fend not only what is, but 
what is past. They are so far 
away, though, that they are 
almost forgotten. They won't 
even get to see that un-Chris- 
tian, unsightly decoration on 
city hall, much less have 
the opportunity to share the 
real meaning of Christmas 
with anyone at home. It's 



hard to have a Christmas 
spirit in 104 degrees weather 
in Viet Nam with a rotten, 
blood-thirsty communist VC 
shooting at you. It's hard to 
have good will toward all 
men on earth when you see 
what they do to those they 
capture. 

It's hard to imagine that 
there are those back home 
who will make a spectacle of 
themselves by saying that we 
have no right to stop this sort 
of thing. But it is not so hard 
to wish that even those might 
have "Peace On Earth." 

Fortunately there are still 
those who remember that 
many will not have a Christ- 
mas. There are those with 
enough insight to know that 
this is true not only of people 
in Viet Nam and other op- 
pressed nations of the world, 
but also of many at home. 
Some will not have a true 
Christmas because they will 
not have the opportunity, ex- 
cept within themselves. Oth- 
ers will not have a true 
Christmas because they will 
not realize what one is. 

We in SYMPOSIUM hope 
you will have that opportunity 
and realize it. We hope that 
you will find time during the 
holidays to turn your atten- 
tion and your prayers toward 



the troubled world in which 
we live, and to America's un- 
quenchable desire for the 
peace and love of the real 
Christmas time for all peoples 
of the world— domestic as well 
as foreign. 

Never failing to remember 
that upon the true Spirit of 
Christmas must we base our 
faith as Americans and as 
Christians, we can remember 
well the credo put forth by 
our late and beloved Presi- 
dent, John F. Kennedy: 

"We in this country, in this 
generation, are by destiny 
rather than choice, the watch- 
men on the walls of world 
freedom. We ask therefore. . . 
that we may achieve in our 
time and for all time the an- 
cient vision of 'peace on 
earth, good will toward men.' 
That must always be our goal, 
and the righteousness of our 
cause must always underlie 
our strength; for as was writ- 
ten long ago, 'Except the Lord 
keep the city, the watchmen 
waketh but in vain.' " 

But before we return to 
Millsaps, another year will 
have drawn to a close. For 
some of us it could have been 
a better year— but the least 
one can say is that it has 
been an eventful year. We

Curriculum Changes Announced . . . 



elude the following: 

(1) the first semester would 
be concluded prior to the 
Christmas vacation; 

(2) transfer students from 
both quarter and semester 
systems would be able to 
move into the program with- 
out loss of time; 

(3) it would offer a change 
of pace for both instructors 
and students; 

(4) it would provide the stu- 
dent with the opportunity to 
devote all of this time once 
each year to a single subject. 

A division of fine arts has 
long been under consideration. 
Millsaps currently offers a 
major in music, but not in 
speech-drama or art. 

The two interdisciplinary 
courses are designed pri- 
marily as a new and more 
significant way to introduce 
students to higher education. 
Officials hope that the course 
will show that higher educa- 
tion is not merely an intensi- 
fied version of the high school 
experience. 

It would also, officials say, 
illustrate the interrelationship 
and interdependence of the 
several academic disciplines. 

The humanities course 
would be called "Man in West- 
ern Civilization and Culture." 
Through readings, lectures, 
discussions, and papers the 
student would develop h i s 
capacity to think, assimilate 
and relate ideas, and articu- 
late his thoughts with lucidity, 
the committee states. 

A concurrent and conjunc- 
tive course would be con- 
cerned with English grammar 
and composition and would 
draw upon the reading assign- 
ments in the humanities 
course for the content of 
weekly essays. 



The interdisciplinary sci- 
ence course is designed to be 
a comprehensive study of sci- 
ence and the relation of sci- 
ence to civilization. Planned 
for the Bachelor of Arts 
candidate, the committee says 
it would investigate the basic 
structure of the natural sci- 
ences and the basic informa- 
tion in the sciences relevant 
to any attempt to understand 
and cope with today's en- 
vironment. It would preclude 
the student's devoting an in- 
ordinate amount of time to 
one phase of science to the 
exclusion of others. 

The new requirement con- 
cerning non-Western civiliza- 
tion has been included be- 
cause, according to the Cur- 
riculum Committee, "the 
mutual problems increasingly 
shared by all the nations of 
the world point more than 
ever to the fact that the 
destiny of our nation is inex- 
tricably bound up with that of 
many other nations of our 
globe." 

The Committee proposes 
that each BA student should 
be exposed to a minimum of 
six hours and each BS stu- 
dent to a minimum of three 
hours of study in courses deal- 
ing with cultures other than 
his own. 

The Committee said the re- 
quirement might initially be 
met by the student's select- 
ing from a list of approved 
courses in various depart- 
ments identified as "compara- 
tive studies." 

The addition of the "20th 
Century Issues and Values" 
course was prompted by the 
belief of the committee that 
"it is imperative that the well- 
informed citizen of today have 
an adequate understanding of 



(Continued from Page 1) 

the cultural, social, historical, 
and technological forces and 
events of the 20th Century 
and of the interrelations of 
such forces and events." 

The course would be re- 
quired of all seniors. It would 
be staffed on an interdiscipli- 
nary basis and its content 
would vary from year to year, 
depending on national and in- 
ternational events. 

The current core curric- 
ulum at Millsaps requires the 
following: English, 12 hours; 
foreign language, 12 hours; 
history, 6; math, 6; natural 
science, 6 for BA, 18 for BS; 
religion, 6; and philosophy, 6 
for BA, none for BS. 

The new interdisciplinary 
curriculum would be as fol- 
lows: Man in Western Civiliza- 
tion, 14 hours; writing labora- 
tory, 4 hours; foreign lan- 
guage, 12 hours; science sur- 
vey, 12 hours for BA, none 
for BS; mathematics, none 
for BA, 6 for BS; natural sci- 
ence, none for BA, 18 for BS; 
religion, 3; philosophy, 3 for 
BA, none for BS; and be- 
havioral science, 6 for BA, 
none for BS. Also required 
would be non-Western studies 
(6 hours for BA and 3 for 
BS) and the 20th Century 
seminar (3 1 mrs). 

Also unrL onsideration is 
a plan to i an opportunity 
to stu 1 U) qualify for 

course 9 passing a 

special pad and ad- 

minist* Tving exam. 

The con . |i1 the plan 

would enab] ts to take 

better advantage of the 
course offerings best suited to 
their aptitudes. 

Officials said the traditional 
core curriculum, at least at 
the outset, will be continued 
as an optional program.

Signs Of Christmas Everywhere; 
Greek Parties Celebrate Season

Christos Sa Va Die de Folas! 

If you don't speak any of 
the above languages, we'll 
put it in English — Merry 
Christmas! Just think we 
have two wonderful weeks in 
which to res* and party! (Of 
course, some of us are work- 
ing to earn a little extra 
spending money, but that 
is fun really!) 

(As you can see we have 
reverted back to our old habit 
of using exclamation points! 
Actually it does get quite bor- 
ing making plain dots for pe- 
riods ! ) 

Christmas has indeed in- 
vaded our campus. The 
W.S.G.A. should certainly be 
congratulated for the beauti- 
ful job they did in decorating 
the Student Union and the 
Kappa Deltas, too, for the 
lovely tree in the cafeteria! 

Congratulations to Linda 
Sue Baines, senior from Que- 
bec, Canada, and Lee Lewis, 



Kappa Sigma here last year, 
who are pinned! It may be 
of interest to Millsaps stu- 
dents that Gail Madsen, a 
KD at Millsaps and now at 
home in Memphis, is engaged 
to Tom Lail, a student here 
last year. We imagine there 
will be a lot more to add to 
the dropped, pinned, engaged 
news after Christmas and 
New Year's! 

Last Saturday, the fraterni- 
ties and sororities collected 
money at the various shop- 
ping centers for the Mentally 
Retarted Children's Associa- 
tion. This was a very worth- 
while project. Many of the 
fraternities and sororities al- 
so have Christmas parties for 
orphans and crippled children 
in Jackson. And this is what 
Christmas should be! 

Last week-end, the KD's, 
the Zeta's, and the Kappa 
Sigs had their Christmas par- 
ties. Tomorrow night the KA's 
will have their annual Black 
and White Ball. This is an 
open party and everyone is 
cordially invited to come. 
It will be at the Holiday Inn 
from 8:00-12:00 with music by 
the Blazers from Memphis. 



Preceding the dance there 
will be a supper at the house 
for the KA's and their dates. 
(We enjoyed Scott Coffield's 
funeral last week .Wish you 
all could have been at the 
graveside ceremony!) 

Congratulations to Lynn 
McMahon, the latest winner 
of the Silver Beaver Award. 
Honorable mention went to 
Mike Casey, Edwin Massey, 
and Ragan Rodgers. 

The Kappa Sigma officers 
announced at the Founder's 
Day party last week-end are 
Grand Master, Jim Roberts; 
Grand Procirator, Ben Nich- 
ols; Grand Treasurer, Ben 
Mitchell; Grand Master of 
Ceremonies, Ken Quick; 
Grand Scribe, Reid Bingham; 
Guard, Russell Tarver. 
(Speaking of KE, we wonder 
if Clifford has been riding on 
the M.T.S. at State lately??) 
Until next year be good and 
exciting! Merry

A huge fir tree, shiny col- 
ored balls, a blazing fire, pop 
corn, cranberries, Christmas 
carols — what more could 
WSGA have contributed to 
bolster the festivious spirit 
among Millsaps students. 

Women's Student Govern- 
ment Association erected a 
fragrant evergreen in the stu- 
dent lounge yesterday after- 
noon, kindled up a big fixe in 
the fireplace, switched on the 
Christmas music, and invited 
all passersby to join in the 
fun— popping pop corn, string- 
ing cranberries, trimming the 
tree, singing Christmas 
carols. 

After the tree trimming af- 
fair, WSGA members congre- 
gated in the downstairs Stu- 
dent Union for a business 
meeting and Christmas pro- 
gram. Seniors Anna Dennery 
and Beth Boswell sang sever- 
al Yuletide melodies. Fresh- 
man Robbie Lloyd presented 
an oral reading— a Christmas 
story. The program was con- 
cluded with the presentation 
of a gift to Mrs. Pate from 
WSGA. 

Dot Boswell, WSGA presi- 
dent, announced at the busi- 
ness meeting that all girl's 
dorms would be open Wednes- 
day, December 12 from 4:00 
to 6:00 p.m. She asked the 
girls to encourage friends to 
come tvisit the rooms and 
see the individual decorations. 
Contests are to be held with- 
in each dorm for the most 
decorative door. Refresh- 
ments will be served in the 
lobbies. 

Also participating in the 
holiday spirit at Millsaps yes- 
terday were a number of girls 
from the Methodist Children's 
Home. The annual "Little Sis- 
ter" Christmas Party, spon- 
sored by the Young Women's 
Christian Association was 
held here. About fifty YWCA 
members attended the event 
and presented gifts to their 
younger "adopted" sisters. 
YWCA president is M a r t h a

chairman, was in charge of 
the party.

MILLSAPS CURRICULUM STUDY COMMITTEE. 



Miss Welty Gives Fall Lecture 



By ANN MARTIN 

Miss Eudora Welty, Mill- 
saps' writer in residence, pre- 
sented to the public on De- 
cember 6th in the Christian 
Center auditorium her fall 
lecture — "An Appreciation 
of Katherine Anne Porter." 
She had been asked to pre- 
pare such a paper for the 
Yale Review in honor of Miss 
Porter's 75th birthday. 

Dr. Benjamin B. Graves, 
president of the college, wel- 
comed visitors, and Mr. Rob- 
ert Padgett, chairman of the 
department of English, pre- 
sented Miss Welty. 

Miss Welty's lecture cen- 
tered around her concept of 
the "eye" of the short story. 
Good stories, she said, reflect 
"the interior of our lives." 
and take place there. Miss 
Porter, whose stories have 
very little sensory imagery, 
proves that one doesn't have 
to see a story to know what 
happens. The significant 
moment of a story, said Miss 
Welty, is not necessarily 
seen but often is the "silent 
blow" when the character is 
alone. 

Miss Welty contends that 
Miss Porter's stories are all 
moral conflicts, involving 
hate, rejection, desertion, de- 



struction, death, and how 
man repudiates and betrays 
love. 

Miss Porter, according to 
Miss Welty, is both a 
romanticist and a realist. She 
does not reject the 
romanticist, but rather his 
false and futile dreams. The 
suspence of her stories is 
acute and real; the forces of 
passion and self - possession 
are equal. 

One important aspect of 
Miss Porter's writing, contin- 
ued Miss Welty, is the sense 
of time which permeates every 
story. The hour is fateful in 
each incident and every char- 
acter is living on tomorrow's 
coming. This "eye of time" is 
a main source of unity. 



Many writers have referred 
to Katherine Anne Porter as 
a "perfectionist." Miss Welty, 
however, prefers to think of 
the eminent author as "a 
blessed achiever," who has 
done her necessary work as 
she saw it. 

"Katherine Anne Porter," 
summarized Miss Welty, "is 
writing stories of the spirit, 
and the time that fills these 
moments is eternity." 

To conclude her lecture, 
Miss Welty read one of her 
wellknown short stories. "The 
Wide Net." 

Following the program, the 
English department honored 
Miss Welty with a reception 
in the Boyd Campbell Student 
Union building.

Religion Department 
Offers Experiment 



Religion 202, or required 
New Testament, students will 
have an opportunity next se- 
mester to participate in a new 
type of class setup. Dr. Lee 
H. Reiff and Mr. T. S. Lewis 
are planning to experiment 
with what Princeton Univer- 
sity terms a preceptorial pat- 
tern. 

The professors plan to share 
the lecture periods, which stu- 
dents will attend two times a 
week. The third hour will be 
more like a seminar in which 
groups of about twelve stu- 
dents will intensively examine 
the reading assigned. Dr. 
Reiff explained that this type 
of setup will allow more op- 
portunity for analysis and 
evaluation by individual stu- 
dents than is possible in the 
straight lecture arrangement. 

Students planning to sign up 
for this course under Dr. 
Reiff and Mr. Lewis at B pe- 
riod have been asked to check 
with them first. They hope to 
lecture only C and D periods, 
eliminating B. 

Religion 202 will also be 
taught at H period under Mr. 
Bob Anding. This section will 
follow the usual pattern.

Majors' Capable End Corps 
Plays Well Despite Injuries 



By CHRIS KELLY 

The Majors' pigskin squad 
has been fortunate this year in 
having a fine group of capable 
ends. 

Ernie Trahan, junior, 6- 
2, 200 lbs., from Biloxi, 
played two years of football 
at Perkinston Junior College, 
earning an All-State Junior 
College Honorable Mention. 
He graduated from Biloxi 
High School where he lettered 
in football, basketball, and 
track. 

Coach Harper Davis com- 
mented, "Trahan broke his 
arm the third day of prac- 
tice and he was unavailable 
until the Harding game, and 
even after he started playing 
his arm hindered his perform- 
ance. Indications are that his 
best natural position could 
be defensive tackle. He start- 
ed in this position against 
Ouachita in the final contest 
of the season. 

Wayne Ferrell, 6 ft., 175 
lbs., sophomore from Pasca- 
goula, lettered on the Majors' 
squad last year. At Pascagou- 
la High School he played foot- 
ball two years. 

Coach Davis remarked that 
"Wayne hurt his knee early 
in the year and has seen lim- 
ited action," but he praised 
him as a "hard-nosed football 
player who doesn't mind hit- 
ting." 

Ted Weller is a junior from 
Chatham. At 6-2, 200 lbs., Ted 
attended Mississippi Delta 
Junior College, lettering two 
years in football and baseball 
receiving an All-State Junior

College Honorable Mention. 
At Glen Odom High, he let- 
tered four years in football 
and was chosen all-conference 
two years. He also earned let- 
ters for four years of base- 
ball, three years of basket- 
ball, and one year of track. 

Coach Davis remarked, 
"Ted played a terrific game 
defensively against George- 
town. He injured his ankle in 
the latter stages of that game 
and hasn't recovered yet. He 
is a good blocker and pass re- 
ceiver and should make an ex- 
cellent offensive end also." 

Paul Richardson, 6-2, 200 
lbs., sophomore from Clarks- 
dale, was chosen Most Valu- 
able Player at Clarksdale 
High when he lettered three 
years in football and two years 
in baseball. He played base 
ball for the Majors last 
spring, starting mainly on the 
mound. 

Coach Davis stated that 
"Paul is a fine scrabbling- 
type blocker and an excellent 
pass receiver. He played a 
fine defensive end against 
Southwestern and we plan to 
call on him more on defense 
in the future. Paul is one of 
the first out for practice and 
has a lot of enthusiasm. He is 
also a good extra point man." 

Jimmy Waide, sophomore, 
6', 190 lbs., from West Point, 
played on the Majors' squad 
last year. A graduate of West 
Point High School, he lettered 
three years in football and 
was chosen for an All Little 
Team Honorable Mention. 

Coach Davis praised Waide 
as "the best defensive end in 
our league. He is a relentless 
pass rusher, a sure tackier, 



and anytime he is in the game 
you know he is giving 100 per 
cent." 

Webb Buie, 6', 180 lbs., sen- 
ior from Jackson, has lettered 
one year in golf at Millsaps 
and was on the Majors* foot- 
ball squad last year. 

Coach Davis remarks, 
"Webb started his football ca- 
reer last season. He is the 
only graduating senior on the 
'65 team and I wish that he 
had a couple more years. He 
has improved tremendously 
since he started out, with his 
hustle being his strongest 
suit." 

Ron Walker, 5-10, 175 lbs., 
sophomore from Pascagoula, 
has earned a letter in foot- 
ball and baseball at Millsaps. 
He attended Pascagoula 
High, lettering one year in 
football. 

Coach Davis commented, 
"Walker broke his foot early 
this year and we have been 
unable to use him to his best 
advantage. Ron is a fine pass 
receiver and works hard at 
his position. Ron is the type 
player that could be used at 
end or in the backfield.' 1 

Bob Mayo, 6-1 175 lbs., is a 
junior transfer from Hinds 
Junior College. 

The Millsaps head coach 
praised Bob saying, "Bob has 
not played football since high 
school. He has a lot of spirit, 
hustle, and willingness. He is 
going to make a fine end. Bob 
is now being used on the punt 
coverage team."

The big sports news in Jack- 
son recently was the Mag- 
nolia Invitational Tournament 
played Tuesday and Wednes- 
day nights of last week. South- 
ern, which won the tourna- 
ment over Mississippi College, 
captured the title for the sec- 
ond straight year. Southern 
won the tournament 74 to 71 
over Mississippi College, with 
Belhaven winning the conso- 
lation game over Millsaps by 
a score of 77 to 58. 

The Golden Giants needed 
two overtime periods to down 
the hard fighting Choctaws. 
The Choctaws led the Giants 
at halftime, by a score of 32 
to 31. Gary Hannan led the 
Southerners in scoring with 22 
points, while Harlan Stanley 
paced the Chocs with 30. 

Millsaps, which has won 
only one game out of five 
starts, seems to be having 
trouble again. After opening 
with a win over Huntingdon 
College the Majors lost the 
next two road games to 
Sewanee and David Lipscomb 
College. Returning to Jackson 
for the Magnolia Classic the 
Majors dropped the first 
game to arch rival M.C. 79 
to 74. The consolation game 
Wednesday night against Bel- 
haven saw the Majors go 
down in defeat for the fourth 
straight time as they lost 77 
to 58. 

Things may pick up after 
the holidays with the Majors 
playing seven home games 
out of 13 on the schedule. With 
a little luck and determina- 
tion the Majors should at 
least break even this season. 
The first game after the holi- 



days is at home on January 
3, a rematch with Sewanee. 

Lets all get behind the team 
and pack the gym for every 
home game, and don't just 
sit there and watch; Yell. 
Don't forget the game with 
Delta State tonight, go out 
and support the Majors. 

By far the biggest action in 
football in the past few weeks 
was the upset of U.C.L.A. by 
Tennessee. Both bowl bound 
teams played real good ball 
with the Vols edging UCLA 
37 to 34 in the final 30 seconds 
of the game. 

Football fans really have a 
lot to look forward to over 
the holidays as the array of 
bowl games unfold with most 
of the action coming on Jan- 
uary 1. The Senior Bowl is 
not far off, Jan. 8, so every- 
one pull up their favorite 
chair and gather around the 
T.V. for some real good en- 
tertainment. 

Those sportsmen on the 
Millsaps campus who will be 
out hunting over the vaca- 
tion period should remember 
to be extra careful when in 
the field and any time when 
handling guns. For those of 
you who might be interested 
there will be another antler- 
less deer season this year at 
the Game Refuge near Stark- 
ville starting Dec. 27. If you 
are like me, you may stand a 
better chance of getting one 
when you don't have to meas- 
ure the length of the spike. 

All kidding aside, let's ev- 
eryone be careful and have 
a good time over the Christ- 
mas holidays. Be careful in 
everything that you do and

Majors Win Home Opener 
But Have Trouble On Road 



TWO POINTS — Forward Bill Drury pops a jump shot for 
Millsaps against Belhaven last week. Also pictured is Jerry 
Sheldon for the Majors. 



By TOMMY DAVIS 

Millsap's basketball Majors 
recorded their first victory in 
as many starts before a ca- 
pacity crowd in Buie gymna- 
sium last week. The Majors 
combined outstanding indi- 
vidual performances with a 
great team effort to defeat 
the Huntingdon College 
Hawks by a score of 90-84. 

Center Jerry Sheldon and 
guard Tom Kopplin tossed in 
50 points between them. Shel- 
don cleared 11 rebounds to go 
along with his 26 points while 
Kopplin hit 14-15 from the 
free throw line. Ronnie Hus- 
band provided the spark late 
in the first half that enabled 
the Majors to carry a 42-41 
into the dressing room at 
halftime. 

The second half was a re- 
peat of the see-saw battle 
with Sheldon, Kopplin, and 
Husband leading the way. 
Sheldon and Husband cleared 
the boards while Kopplin hit 
10 straight free throws in the 
last five minutes. 

The margin of victory came 
on the free throw line as 
Millsaps hit 32 of 44 free 
throws while Huntingdon 



made only 18 of 31. The Ma- 
jors hit 51 percent from the 
floor as compared to the 
Hawks' 45 percent. Hunting- 
don was out rebounded 49 to 
48 by the Majors. 

Friday night the Majors 
lost their perfect record to a 
strong Sewanee team by a 
score of 74-55. Ron Hoffman 
was the only Major to pene- 
trate the Tiger defense as he 
hit for 17 points. 

The first half was just 
about an even match with the 
Tigers carrying a 26-21 lead 
into the dressing room. The 
second half was disasterous 
for the Majors as they were 
outscored 48-34. Any offensive 
spark that the majors could 
muster was quickly ex- 
tinguished by the Tigers' 
strong zone defense. Saturday 
night the Majors played Da- 
vid-Lipscomb before a crowd 
of 2,000 screaming supporters 
in Nashville, Tennessee. The 
veteran Lipscomb team was 
composed of four seniors and 
a Jr.-college transfer. A 6'7" 
center and two 6'6" forwards 
were instrumental in handing 
the Majors their second loss 
by a score of 77-53. 



The Majors stayed in the 
ball game for the first ten 
minutes of play. With 10:24 
left in the half Lipscomb 
led 17-14. At this point in the 
game the Majors offense 
ceased to function and the 
halftime score was 44-18. This 
one-sided score was caused 
by the fact that the Majors 
didn't have the height to get 
any rebounds. 

The second half saw the 
Majors outrunning David- 
Lrpscomb 35-33. Tommy Cum- 
mings and Bill Drury sparked 
this half of play. Kopplin led 
the Majors with 8 points while 
Hoffman pulled down 8 re- 
bounds.

remember that it is Christ's 
birthday we are celebrating. 

Everyone should be thank- 
ful for every blessing received 
during the past year, and 
with a new year approaching 
we have a lot to look forward 
to. Don't forget the ball game 
tonight, go out and support 
the Majors. Until we see ev- 
eryone next year, Merry 
Christmas and a Happy New 
Year from all the sports staff 
of the P & W. 



By Bill Lamb 

Led by quarterback Glen 
4 'The Gimp" Graves, the glo- 
rious actives of the Pi Kappa 
Alpha Fraternity scored in 
every period to beat the low- 
ly Pike pledges* 23-0 last Sat- 
urday on Alumni field. The 
first score Came late in the 
first quarter as Graves threw 
a long pass to Glue-fingers 
Evans who made a tremen- 
dous one-handed catch while 
surrounded by four defenders. 
The second score came mid- 
way in the second quarter as 
Graves* rolled 15 yards around 
right end behind a host of 
blockers who led him into 
pay dirt unmolested. The 



pledges tightened up their de- 
fense in the third quarter, 
and the ball was exchanged 3 
times before Evans, kicking 
for the actives, punted one to 
the 1 yardline. Two plays la- 
ter, the forward wall of the 
actives defensive unit, the 
GREEN GOBLINS, put on a 
tremendous rush, and Man- 
Mountain Trent caught 
pledge quarterback, Show- 
boat Williams, in the end zone 
for a safety. The final score 
came with 6 seconds left in 
the game on a 23 yard pass 
play from Graves to Trent. 

When questioned, all par- 
ticipants in the game agreed 
that the pledges inability to 



score could be directly at- 
tributed to the tremendous 
rush put on throughout the 
game by the GREEN 
GOBLINS' forward wall, con- 
sisting of MANMOUNTAIN 
Trent, Jumpin' Jim Ford, 
RedGoat Lamb, and Pretty- 
Boy McCool. The secondary, 
made up of Gimp Graves, 
Gluefingers* Evans, Skinny 
John Morrow, Sandy San- 
duskovitch, and B-A-- Johnny 



Blackledge also did a tremen- 
dous job of defending against 
the admittedly inferior pledge 
pass receivers. Standouts for 
the pledges were quarter- 
back, Showboat Williams, de- 
fensive right guard, Leslie 
Baerstein, and blocking back, 
Lowerlip Calloway. All three 
extra points were kicked for 
the actives by Henry "The 
Toe" Woolrino.

Mississippi Legislative Intern Program 
Offered By Political Science Department 



By BILL LAMB 

In the spring of 1964, Mill- 
saps* political science depart- 
ment began what is called the 
Mississippi Legislative Intern 
Program in order to take ad- 
vantage of the college's loca- 
tion in the State capital. Stu- 
dents were presented the op- 
portunity of viewing the legis- 
lative process first-hand by 
acting as aides to a member 



or members of the legisla- 
tive process first-hand by act- 
ing as aides to a member or 
members of the legislature, 
performing such duties as typ- 
ing reports, making out bills, 
etc., for the legislator(s) to 
whom they were assigned. 

The idea worked so well that 
it was incorporated as a part 
of the political science curric- 
ulum. Last year, a pictorial 



on this very program was 
printed in Major Notes, fea- 
turing David Reynolds, now 
an alumnus of Millsaps. 

The program this year will 
begin immediately with the 
start of second semester, so 
any student interested in par- 
ticipating who has the proper 
qualifications should contact 
Mr. Adams of the department 
of political science as quickly 
as possible. 



Marie Smith Named Editor 
Of Spring Purple & Whites 



Marie Smith, junior politi- 
cal science major from Pas- 
cagoula, has been appointed 
editor of the Purple And 
White for the next two semes- 
ters. She will assume the po- 
sition immediately following 
the semester break. 

Applications are still being 
received for business mana- 
ger. 

Miss Smith was selected by 
the school Board of Publica- 
tions, composed of both facul- 
ty members and students. She 
is currently serving as news 
editor of the P & W. 

Marie announces she has no 
plans at present for any dras- 
tic changes in format of the 
paper, . although she is plan- 
ning a number of activities 
and projects such as work 
shops, a staff banquet, var- 
ious campaigns, regular staff 
meetings, and occasional 
speakers in the field of journ- 
alism. 

"My main concern right 
now," remarks the new edi- 



tor, "is to encourage more 
students to take an active in- 
terest in the Purple and 
White. I am going to place a 
public P & W mail box be- 
sides the P & W rack in the 
downstairs area of the stu- 
dent union, in hopes of en- 
couraging students to submit 
more letters - to - the - editor, 
news tips, especially about or- 
ganizational activities, and 
criticisms and suggestions for 
the paper." 

Marie's selection ena- 
bles her to achieve a goal set 
in her senior year in high 
school when she was quoted 
by the Panther Pen (Pasca- 
goula High) as remarking her 
ambition after graduation was 
to attend Millsaps and some- 
day become editor of the Pur- 
ple and White. 

She was a reporter and la- 
ter make-up editor of her high 
school paper, won several 
state essay contests while in 
high school, was treasurer of 
Quill and Scroll, and helped 



start a church newspaper for 
which she wrote feature arti- 
cles. She worked this summer 
for the Mississippi Press Reg- 
ister in her home town, and 
currently writes a weekly 
column in that paper entitled 
"Millsaps Notes," concerning 
Millsaps activities especially 
in relation to students from 
the coast area. She is also 
working at present part-time 
for the Clarion - Ledger in 
Jackson. 

Besides her journalistic ac- 
tivities at Millsaps, Marie has 
been a member of Student 
Senate, WSGA representative, 
a three - year member of 
YWCA of which she now is 
secretary, an Archery Club 
member, a Young Republican, 
and has been on the Dean's 
List. 

"I'm very excited about be- 
ing editor of the paper," she 
says. "The staff is being lined 
up and seems very enthusias- 
tic, and I really have high 
hopes for this next year." 



Debate Tournament 
Set This Weekend 



PR RELEASE 

The 26th annual Millsaps 
College Invitational Debate 
Tournament will be held on 
the campus Friday and Satur- 
day, January 14 and 15. 
Teams from 20 to 30 schools 
are expected to attend. 

Orvel Hooker, director of 
the tournament, said he ex- 
pected approximately the 
same representation as in last 
year's tournament. Last 
year 72 teams from 22 col- 
leges and universities in eight 
states participated in the 
meet. 

Described by Hooker as 
"tough and unique," the Mill- 
saps tournament is based on 
elimination rather than 
points, or achievement record. 
Most tournaments today use 
the latter system. 

Trophies will be awarded to 
the top teams in the men's 
division, women's division, 
and the junior division. 
Awards will also be given in 
extemporaneous speaking and 
oratory. 

Topic to be debated is the 
official intercollegiate sub- 
ject, "Resolved: that law en- 
forcement agencies should be 
given greater freedom in the 
prosecution of crime." 

The tournament will begin 
Friday at 8 a. m. with regis- 
tration in the Christian Cen- 
ter. Extemporaneous speak- 
ing and original oratory pre- 
liminaries will begin at 8:30 
a. m., and finals in both cate- 



gories will be held at 10 a. m. 
Results will be announced at 
a general assembly at 12:30 
p. m. 

First round in debate will 
begin at 1 p. m., with the re- 
sults of the preliminary de- 
bates announced at 6:30 p. m. 
Teams must win two of four 
debates Friday to be eligible 
for competition Saturday. 

Saturday's schedule will be- 
gin at 8 a. m. with assembly 
in the Christian Center. First 
round of elimination debates 
will begin at 8:15 a. m. 

Members of the Millsaps 
faculty will serve as judges 
for the debates. 



J > & if Position 
Needs Applicants 

Applications for the posi- 
tion of business manager 
for the Purple and White 
for the next two semesters 
are still being received by 
the Publications Committee 
at this time. 

Any students interested 
in applying for the position 
are urged to contact Dr. 
William D. Horan either by 
mail or at his office and 
present a letter of applica- 
tion which should include 
the candidate's experience, 
plans for the paper, and

This And That . . . 



In the last edition of this paper an 
article appeared regarding proposed 
curriculum changes at Millsaps. 
Those who read about the proposed 
changes know what they are; those 
who didn't should find out. 

We believe these proposals are a 
step in the right direction, a step that 
will certainly set Millsaps apart from 
other schools in this area, whether 
good or bad. A lot of time has been 
spent studying both the courses offered 
and the calendar here at Millsaps. If 
and when these suggestions are put 
into effect, they will certainly be an 
experiment many other schools will be 
watching with interest. 



The 26th annual Millsaps debate 
tournament is scheduled for this week- 
end, our campus will be filled with 
visitors ready to compare our school 
with colleges everywhere, and the 
PURPLE AND WHITE urges all stu- 
dents to take a part in the tournament, 
either by serving as timekeepers as 
many will do, by just being friendly to 
our visitors, or in some other capacity. 

Most of these debaters have traveled 



since school began to many other 
schools, and just as they will be on 
display in the tournament itself, so 
too will Millsaps and her students be on 
display for the debaters. 

This is always one of the high points 
of the year on the Millsaps campus. 
The administration, faculty, and stu- 
dent body all play a big role, take an 
active part in the tournament, and that 
is why the Millsaps event has always 
been regarded as one of the outstand- 
ing tournaments in the country. 

We wonder what's behind the seem- 
ing campus policy of locking some 
building doors on Sunday. For instance, 
only two of the Union doors are often 
open on Sunday, the door leading to 
the upstairs section of the Union is often 
locked, only one Christian Center door 
is open many times on Sunday, and so 
on. 

It seems to us that doors to a build- 
ing on campus should either be locked 
or unlocked, not arranged so that stu- 
dents have to hunt around until they 
find the open door. 



Addresses Student Body 



Buford Ellington Returns 
To Millsaps, Alma Mater 



Emphasizing the value of 
being a United States citizen, 
Buford Ellington, former Ten- 
nessee governor, director of 
the Office of Emergency 
Planning in Washington, 
spoke before the Millsaps stu- 
dent body and visitors last 
Thursday. 

Saying that he wanted to 
make "not a contribution to 
those of my age but to help 
the youth of this, my nation," 
the former governor ex- 
pounded his positive views of 
American citizenship. He em- 
phasized that there is a great 
stockpile of natural resources, 
but there is no reservoir of 
American youth and talent. 
These must be used to their 
fullest now. To fully utilize 
talent necessitates the devel- 
opment of a M well educated, 
independent but disciplined 
mind." 

Ellington then explained the 
current U. S. "peace offen- 
sive" and the reasons for 
American involvement in Viet 
Nam — the honoring of a 
commitment and to make the 
world safe for democracy. Al- 
luding to his close friendship 
with President Johnson, he 
said, "The President suffers 
with every soldier who is 
marching through the jungles 
of Viet Nam never knowing 
which step will be his last." 

Lifting his hands into the 
air with a smile, the speaker 
said, "Isn't it great to be a 
United States citizen! Yes it 
is, even with our confusion 
and problems. We can always 
say it with pride if we take 
advantage of the opportunities 
that are ours." 

Guests who shared the plat- 
form with the speaker in- 
cluded former governor of 
Mississippi, J. P. Coleman, 



Attorney General Joe Patter- 
son, and Secretary of State 
Heber Ladner. 

Ellington, a Millsaps alum- 
nus, visited in Jackson last 
week for the prime purpose of 
being initiated as an honorary 
member into the Millsaps 
chapter of Omicron Delta 
Kappa, national leadership 



honor society for men. The 
initiation ceremonies were 
held at a special dinner last 
Wednesday evening. 

Ellington's Washington po- 
sition as director of the Of- 
fice of Emergency Planning 
involves keeping the nation's 
disaster machinery in readi-

AND 




OPINIONS 






Shattuck 



Welcome to Millsaps to par- 
ticipants in the 26th annual 
Millsaps Debate Tournament 
scheduled for this weekend. 
We hope you enjoy your stay 
in Jackson and at Millsaps— 
please take an opportunity to 
visit all of our campus while 
you are here. We're glad you 
came. 



We noticed the other day 
that Georgetown, Ky., was 
one of 19 colleges and univer- 
sities, major or minor, 
throughout the United States 
to go through an undefeated 
and untied football season. 
Millsaps lost to Georgetown 
10-7 on the latter's home field, 
giving the Kentucky eleven 
probably their toughest test 
of the season! 



Made public last week was 
an announcement that peti- 
tions from various colleges 
and universities throughout 
Mississippi supporting United 
States policy in Vietnam had 
all been gathered together in 
a project sponsored by Mis- 
sissippi Intercollegiate Coun- 
cil, and that these student 
signatures were being taken 
in person to Vice President 
Hubert H. Humphrey. It was 
also reported that President 
Lyndon B. Johnson would be 
informed of the several thou- 
sands of signatures accumu- 
lated. Humphrey praised the 
organizational job done by 
the Mississippi collegians. 

This accumulation of peti- 
tions is an outstanding way to 
show others that Mississippi 
collegians are behind the 
United States in its actions; 
however, sadly, in all press 
releases regarding the sub- 
ject, nearly every college in 
Mississippi, large and small, 
was mentioned as contribu- 
tors except Millsaps. 

Millsaps sent a large dele- 
gation to MIC this winter, 
and we feel that if Millsaps 
students had been informed 
that such a job was being un- 
dertaken, a goodly number of 
Millsaps students would have 
been included also. Are we 
to let others believe that ma- 
jority of Millsaps students are 
against U. S. policy? Unfor- 
tunately, that is the opinion 
many received, and we be- 
lieve it is a wrong opinion — 
let us hope that Millsaps will 
be included in the next such 
action ! 

We just have to take up a 
little space for the benefit of 



the dozens of critics who 
laughed first of all at our 
statement that the Southeast- 
ern Football Conference was 
the best in the nation this 
year, and second at a few of 
our bowl selections (which, 
though we didn't realize it at 
the time, did not forecast an 
SEC team to lose). 

We were 5-3 on our selec- 
tions, missing three choices 
by a total of five points when 
Texas Western upset TCU 
13-12 in the Sun Bowl, Mis- 
souri edged past Florida 20-18 
in the Sugar Bowl, and UCLA 
dumped overrated Michigan 
State 14-12 in the Rose Bowl. 
We rightly saw LSU over 
Arkansas, Alabama over Ne- 
braska, Tennessee over 
Tulsa, Mississippi over 
Auburn, and Georgia Tech 
over Texas Tech. 

Okay, critics of the SEC, 
the holiday period found the 
Missouri Valley Conference 
champion soundly trounced 
by Tennessee, the Southwest 
Conference champ whipped 
by a club which had to win 
its last two games to break 
even in the SEC, the Big 
Eight champion outclassed by 
Alabama, and the Big Eight 
runner-up almost beaten by 
Florida, out of the running 
for the SEC crown soon after 
midseason. Adding to SEC 
prestige was UCLA's upset of 
Big Ten titleholders Michigan 
State after Tennessee had 
clipped the Uclans. Even 
Georgia Tech's win over 
Texas Tech showed up good 
for the SEC, as the TV an- 
nouncers kept placing ex- 
member Tech in the confer- 
ence. 

During the season, the two 
Big Ten-SEC games played 
each resulted in wins for the 
latter, Atlantic Coast Confer- 
ence co-champ South Carolina 
was battered around by two 
or three SEC clubs, and Mis- 
souri, winners over Florida 
in the Sugar Bowl, was 
blanked 7-0 by second-division 
Kentucky. 

We don't try to be narrow- 
minded. We just think the 
best, sound-thinking brand of 
football was played down 
South this year. Any man to 
his own opinion, but this time 
we've got the record to stand 
with us. 

Anyway, in conclusion, let 
us offer the IDEAS AND

LLOA Initiates New Members: "What's In It For Me?" 



By RONALD GOODBREAD 
For Immediate Release 

Today the Lobby Lurkers of 
America initiated three new 
members into the Grand High 
Order of the Loyal Horns of 
the Sovereign State of Mis- 
sissippi, Millsaps College Sec- 
tor. The new Lobby Lurkers 
include: James Leroy Carroll, 
Mark Matheny; and Millsaps 
Dye. 

ftfeeting in the smoke filled 
Room 11 of Burton Hall, with 
the Grand High Honcho Mike 
"The Wooly Buffalo*' (also 
know as the "Beard", the 
"Blanket" and the "Den 
Mother") Staiano presiding 
after having been coerced into 
the meeting, the other Mem- 
bers Par Excellance, Esqs. 
elected the new Lurkers by 
unanamous vote with The 
Grand High Honcho voting 
yes and the rest of the mem- 
bership "abstaining". 

The whole grubby group 
then made a visitation to the 
representative tappees rooms 
incurring the wrath of Gerald 
"the Bruiser" Lord, as dorm 
manager. The Lurkers then 
moved on to the next order 
of business and elected 
Grand Information Manage- 
rial Potentate (GIMP) Ronald 
Goodbread as Ass of the 
Week. More AOW awards are 
being planned in the future. 
This highlight of the evening 
being completed the members 
went their separate ways as 
usual. 

The LLOA was founded in 
1963 by Mike Staiano who 
holds a hereditory and pre- 
ditory position as Grand High 
Honcho Man - In - Charge, 
Guardian of the Royal Loot, 
Duke of the ExcheQuer, Im- 
perial Man-About-Town and 
BMOC (Beard Made of Chick- 
en wire). 

Coach James A. Montgom- 
ery is the protesting faculty 
advisor. LLOA highlights ev- 
ery year with the annual 
LLOA-Montgomery All-Stars 
Basketball game. LLOA is 
successfully defending an 0-2 



record. "The problem," says 
Coach Mike Staiano, "is that 
everytime we score, Dean 
Christmas cashes in on one of 
our blue cards." 

Membership in the LLOA 
include the following out- 
standing individuals: 

1. Mike "the Blanket" Staia- 
no 

2. Nat "Thunder Chicken" 
Ellis 

3. Ronnie "the Rock" Hus- 
band 

4. Ron "Bones" Goodbread 

5. Sam "Nice Guy" Kernell 

6. Larry "Mr. President" 
Adams 

7. Jimmy "the Switcher" 
Gentry 

8. Jim "Pudge" Carroll 

9. Jimmy "Rural" Waide 

10. Mark "Elmer Gantry" 
Matheny 

11. Charlie "Chicken" Var- 
ner 

12. Millsaps "the Sap" Dye 
Among the many dis- 
tinguished honors that the 
Members of LLOA claim are 
the following: three student 
Senators, President of the 
Sophomore Class, Presidents 
of three honoraries; President 
of the Student Body, Vice- 
President and three members 
of the "M" Club, President of 
the Senior Class, two dorm 
managers, one outstanding 
basketball player, one out- 
standing football player, one 
member of the Troubadors 
and concert choir, President 
of the Mississippi Methodist 
Youth Conference, one news- 
paper hack, and twelve of the 
best guys on campus. We 
could go on and on but un- 
fortunately this issue is lim- 
ited to under 10 pages. 

Members of the LLOA hold 
various records at Millsaps 
College that are worth noting. 
Nat Ellis is the only Millsaps 
baseball player ever to lose a 
ground ball in the sun. Mike 
Staiano is the only man at 
Millsaps College ever to be 
turned down for a date be- 
cause the girl said that she 
was going polar bear hunting 



Scholarship Established 
For Ministerial Training 



in the Sahara Desert that 
weekend — and he asked her to 
go out Wednesday night. 
Charles Varner and Jim Car- 
roll are jointly holding the 
record of taking a grand total 
of 42,012 cuts in a single se- 
mester of second year Span- 
ish. 

Ron Goodbread is the only 
student who ever attended 
Millsaps College who has ob- 
viously not changed clothes in 
3Vfe years of attendance (in- 
cluding the summers). Mark 
Matheney, from his perform- 
ance in the Troubadors, ob- 
viously has the sturdiest back 
on campus. T. C. Ellis and 
Sam Kernell are the only two 
members of the LLOA who 
have never been messed over 
by a girl, (except for their 
mothers). 

Jimmy Waide is the only 
Millsaps student whose par- 
ents were not present at the 
hospital when he was born. 
As a result he was left in 
the maternity ward with a ra- 
dio tuned to a country music 
station and he has been listen- 
ing to it ever since. Ron 
Goodbread is the only 
Millsaps student ever to pass 
Education 332 (Art for Chil- 
dren) in one weekend. 

Larry A d a m s is the only 
person who has ever attained 
a political office with the sup- 
port of the LLOA. Mike Staia- 
no is the only student who 
never got irritated when Mrs. 
McMullan continually mispro- 
nounced his name throughout 
four years of college. Ronnie 
Husband is the only student 
ever to stall a Plymouth 
Baracuda in the middle of no- 
where at 11:45 at night while 
double - dating with Martha 
Byrd and Jean Nicholson. He 
is also the only one stupid 
enough to call for help. 

Millsaps Dye is the only 
member ever to score with 
a Phi Mu. Jimmy Gentry is 
the only member ever to 
score with a KD— a zero, the 
score that is. T. C. Ellis is 
the only Millsaps student ever 
to major in French because 
he was accidentally placed in 
a third year French class and 
aced it when he was a fresh- 
man. He is also the best thing 



Millsaps officials announced 
recently the establishment of 
the Edward H. Pendergrass 
Scholarship to aid in the pro- 
motion of preministerial 
training here. 

The endowed scholarship 
was made possible through a 
gift of $10,000 by C. R. Ridg- 
way, Jackson, Millsaps 
alumnus and a member of the 
Board of Trustees, in honor 
of Bishop Pendergrass, new- 
ly appointed bishop of the 
Jackson Area of The Method- 
ist Church. Income from the 
gift will be directed to a 
scholarship fund which is a 
part of a continuing program 
to encourage promising young 
men and women to pursue a 
career in full-time church-re- 
lated vocations. 

Dr. Benjamin B. Graves, 
Millsaps president, comment- 
ing on the gift, said, "We 
deeply appreciate Mr. Ridg- 



way's generosity and his in- 
terest in the strength and 
quality of our program to pre- 
pare lay and clerical leader- 
ship for the Church. 

"We are seeking churches 
or individuals who will follow 
Mr. Ridgway's lead and un- 
derwrite 100 endowed scholar- 
ships which will provide an 
income of $500 each annually. 
These scholarships can be 
named in honor of the donor 
or another party of the 
donor's choice, or as a me- 
morial to a deceased relative 
or friend. There is no better 
way to insure the influence of 
the Church in our society than 
to invest in this continuing 
program." 

The gift from Mr. Ridgway 
in honor of Bishop Pender- 
grass will become a part of 
the permanent endowment of 
the College. 



ever to happen to the French 
Department. 

Jim Carroll, Charles Varner 
and Ron Goodbread are the 
only three members to be 
caught red-handed while steal- 
ing ducks from Belhaven Col- 
lege. They told the stupid 
cops that their names were 
Bobby Burns, Bill Words- 
worth, and William Blake and 
that they were English ma- 
jors. They immediately re- 
tracted this story when the 
police threatened to check 
out their names with the Reg- 
istrar — Prof. Hardin. 

Jim Carroll is the only lo- 
cal Goldwater campaign man- 
ager ever to become Presi- 
dent of the Young Democrats. 
Charles Varner, Jim Carroll, 
Jimmy Gentry, and Jimmy 
Waide are all vieing for the 
Earl C. Wentworth Metheuse- 
lah Award in Spanish. Senor 
Bufkin is having a tough time 
deciding. Ron Goodbread is 
the only member who was 
ever physically threatened by 
a political science prof to be 
"thrown out the window" of 
second floor Murrah Hall. 
Mike Staiano is the only fresh- 
man with a D average who 
went into the hole on quality 
points when he got docked for 
cutting chapel too much. 

How's that for imperti- 
nance? 

The purpose of the LLOA is 
to post themselves in the lob- 
by of the student union to 
keep an eye out for shapely 
young ladies in short skirts 
and low necklines with or 
without bad reputations and 
to keep the lobby free of this 
riff-raff. Whenever they en- 
counter such a young lady 
they are pledged to pick her 
up and take her elsewhere. 
They are trained intensive- 
ly for the "elsewhere." 

Invitations are by putting 
in the required number of 
hours in the lobby and pros- 
pective members are to take 
note of this and to steer clear 
of the library. Lurking for li- 
brarians doesn't count. 

The motto of the LLOA is 
taken from the statement 
made by the young executive 



Pre-Registration 
Ends Next Week 

"Pot luck" is about all 
that can be promised to 
students who fail to pre- 
register for second se- 
mester. Professor Paul 
Hardin, Registrar and Di- 
rector of Admissions, has 
urged all students to pre- 
register as soon as possible. 
The earlier this is done the 
better chance one will have 
of getting the desired 
courses. 

Hardin said that although 
first-semester students in 
a particular class have 
priority, they risk a chance 
of being transferred from 
the class if they do not 
sign up for it in advance. 
The final* day for pre- 
registration is January 19.

me?" 



Reporters Report 
On Yule Actions 

By I. C. NOTHING 

Three diligent P&W writers, 
having been assigned an arti- 
cle on their fellow students* 
activities during the Christ- 
mas holidays, eagerly 
broached their new adventure. 

"What interesting (and 
printable) did you do during 
the holidays?" was inquired 
of innumerable students. Hav- 
ing finished their survey, the 
three newsmen have divided 
the Millsaps populace into two 
categories (1) those who dian't 
have fun during the Yule 
season, and (2) those who did 

The members of group one, 
when posed the question, 
merely drawled (or twanged) 
"Aw, nothing." The members 
of group two, however, got an 
evil glint in the eye and mere- 
ly grinned the grin of the 
complacent. 

Just what the "Aw, noth- 
ing." means, or exactly what 
the grin implies, the writers 
would not venture to think, 
much less print. 

They, therefore, leave the 
conjecture up to the reader. 
Hence ends an unsuccessful 
P&W article. 



Nancy Bernard of Lubbock, 
Texas, 20 year old blue-eyed 
blond, is the 1966 Maid of 
Cotton. Selected in Memphis 
December 29, Nancy is the 
seventh Texan to win the

tha Tate Stokely, sophomore 
at MSCW from Drew, Miss.

Dr. Henderson Elected 
Political Group Officer 



PR RELEASE 

Dr. Gordon G. Henderson, 
chairman of the political sci- 
ence department at Millsaps, 
has been elected secretary of 
the Southern Political Science 
Association. 

Dr. Henderson is current- 
ly on leave from Millsaps to 
serve as a special assistant 
to Governor Samuel P. God- 
dard of Arizona. He is filling 
the position as the recipient of 
a post - doctoral fellowship 
from the National Center for 
Education in Politics. 

A member of the Millsaps 
faculty since 1962, Dr. Hen- 
derson instituted two special 
programs. He obtained and di- 
rected a Field Foundation 
for the establishment 



of an Oral History of Contem- 
porary Mississippi Life and 
Viewpoints. He also estab- 
lished a Legislative Intern 
Program, in which Millsaps 
students serve as aides to 
members of the Mississip- 
pi Legislature for a semester. 

Dr. Henderson has ap- 
peared on the program at two 
annual conferences of the 
Southern Political Science As- 
sociation. In 1963 he was a 
member of a panel discussing 
"Judicial Review in a De- 
mocracy," and last year he 
delivered a paper entitled 
"The GOP in Mississippi." 

He is a graduate of Colum- 
bia College. He received the

ness for any emergency. He 
also serves in a liaison capac- 
ity between the White House 
and the nation's governors. 

The speaker was Tennessee 
Commissioner of Agriculture 
before running for governor 
in 1959. After leaving the gov- 
ernorship he became resident

New Art Course 
To Be Taught 

Advanced art students are 
being offered a new course 
second semester— lithography 
and block printing. The 
course, offered for the first 
time here, will be taught by 
Mrs. Karl Wolfe on Thursday 
afternoons from 2:30 to 5:30. 
Beginning art, taught by Mr. 
Karl Wolfe, is a prerequisite 
for the new courses. 

Lithography is the process 
of printing from limestone 
which has been drawn upon 
with a greasy pencil and 
etched. Block printing in- 
volves carving on wood or 
linoleum, inking it, and print- 
ing from it. 



GETS HONOR — Former Tennessee Gov. Buford Ellington, 
left, chats with President Benjamin Graves of Millsaps Col- 
lege, center, and Mississippi Gov. Paul Johnson. Ellington 
was inducted into Omicron Delta Kappa, national honorary 
leadership society, by his alma mater, Millsaps.

Birmingham Field Trip Undertaken By Geologists 



Eight advanced geology 
majors have been field-trip- 
ping again, this time into the 
Birmingham area, December 
2. 3, and 4. They were accom- 
panied by Professors Johnson 
and Priddy. 

Thursday, December 2, was 
consumed by the trip to Birm- 
ingham. Enroute the party 
studied physiography— The re- 
lations of vegetabion, soils and 
topography to bedrock. Belts 
of sand, shale , chalk, and 
gravel were easily detected 
during daylight. After dark 
there was a quiz session on 
the rocks crossed. 

Friday and Saturday the 
group joined some 70 other 
geologists to review the com- 
plexly folded and faulted 
strata of the southernmost Ap- 
palachians. This was the 
third Annual Field Trip of the 
Alabama Geological Society. 
Leaders were from the facul- 
ty of Birmingham Southern 
College, the Alabama Sur- 
vey, and the U. S. Geological 
Survey. 

About 20 of the participants 
were students from colleges 
in Tennesseee, Alabama, and 
Georgia. Most were college 
teachers, specialists with state 



geological surveys and the 
b. S. Geological Survey, or 
were consultants with mining 
companies. 

The Birmingham region is 
an excellent area for study 
cause five great thrusts 
have brought widely sepa- 
rated rocks close together. In 
consequence, the city is an 
industrial center. Here ancient 
limestones, much younger 
iron ore, and young coals 
furnish the raw materials for 
a great steel enterprise. 

Four of the five thrusts 
were directed northwest. They 
are recognized by Millsaps 
students who have taken His- 
torical Geology as the 
Taconic, Acadian, Parkwood, 
and Appalachian orogenies. 
The fifth thrust, the Ouachita, 
should also be recalled. It was 
directed northward and is re- 
sponsible for the folding 
which made the Ouachita 
Mountains of Oklahoma and 
Arkansas. Millsaps majors 
taking Geology of Mississippi 
this autumn had traced this 
folding into the subsurface of 
north Mississippi so it was 
gratifying to know that it is 
newly recognized in north Ala- 



bama where the thrusting re- 
folded the already compli- 
cated surface rocks. 

The Millsaps participants 
in the field trip returned with 
excellent rock specimens and 
some fossils. These materials 
are not to be found at the 
surface in Mississippi but are 
encountered in some oil tests. 
Some of the rocks produce a 
little oil and gas but more 
production may be expected. 

Advanced majors taking the 
trip were: Tom Burns, Rich- 
ard Burnside, Torrey Curtis, 
Charles Hallford, Wayne 



Heidelberg, James K. Smith, 
Charlie Whitten, and Mary 
Woodruff. 



Pre-Exam Party 
Set For Union 

A pre-exam relaxer in the 
form of a student union 
lounge party is being planned 
by the Student Executive 
Board. Guitar music and folk 
singing, popcorn, a roaring 
fire in the fireplace, and pos- 
sible other entertainment, will 
highlight the party to be held 
between 5 and 6 p. m. during 
the early part of exam week. 
The informal get-to-gether is 
being sponsored to give stu- 
dents a break from their 
rigorous exam study 
schedule. 



The National Tnterfraternity 
Conference, representing 2,- 
200,000 social fraternity mem- 
bers in this country, has 
pledged support to United 
States policy in Viet Nam and 
other areas threatened by 
Communist takeovers where 
the U. S. has acted to uphold 
freedom and oppose aggres- 
sion. The action was taken in 
a resolution passed unani- 
mously by 1100 delegates at- 
tending the annual N.I.C. con- 
ference in Washington.

By EMILY COMPTON 
Society Editor 

Welcome back to Millsaps 
. . . well we guess by this 
time you don't feel so glad to 
be back with semester exams 
staring you in the face. Just 
think, it's not too long before 
we have a few days off for 
semester break. Then one full 
semester until summer vaca- 
tion! Happiness is being able 
to sleep late and stay out 
late— and you can't do that 
here at the big M. 

And now to the important 
news. Santa Claus definitely 
was enlisted by young Cupid 
during the Christmas holidays 
and he snatched several 
sparkling diamonds from the 
sky along with a few pins and 
drops to make many young 
ladies (and men) at Millsaps 
quite happy! 

Congratulations to these 
lucky couples who are en- 
gaged: Margaret Brown, sen- 
ior KD from Jackson, and 
Earle Willoughby, senior at 
Southern Mississippi and pro 
baseball player from Jack- 
son; Marsha Cooper, senior 
from Laurel, and John Gray- 
son, senior KE from Laurel; 
Rachel Davis, junior Chi O 
from Meridian, and Tommy 
Fowlkes, KA at Millsaps 
from Wiggins and now in law 
school at the University of 
Virginia; Carol Lowry, senior 
from Winona, and Billy 
Baird; Celane McCown, KD 
at Millsaps from Los Angeles, 
California, and now serving 
guidance in Florida, and Lar- 
ry McWhorter, senior KA 
from Hattiesburg ; Ruth 
Pickett, KD from Jackson, 
now teaching school in At- 
lanta, and Sam Cole, KA at 
Millsaps now serving as stu- 
dent recruiter for Millsaps; 
Connie Milonas, junior Chi O 
from Tokyo, Japan, and Dr. 
Robert Gough, dentist at 
Tachikawa Air Force Base, 
Tokyo; Eileen Shoemaker, 
junior from Natchez, and 
Hardy McKie, former Mill- 
saps student from Pickens; 
Lynn Sims, senior KD from 
Jackson and Roy Duncan, 
Pike from Jackson now at- 
tending the University Med- 
ical Center. 

Congratulations also to 
these lucky couples who are 
pinned: Margaret Allen, 
junior Chi O from Greenville, 
and Jimmy Roberts, junior 
KE from Memphis, now at- 
tending the University of Ten- 
nessee; Susan McLemore, 
junior KD from Gulfport, and 
Steve Franks, sophomore KA 
from Booneville; Penny 
Sanders, sophomore Chi O 



from Greenwood, and Mack 
Varner, junior KA from 
Vicksburg. 

And also congratulations to 
these couples who are 
dropped: Ann Alford, KD 
pledge from Hazlehurst and 
James Williams, sophomore 
KA from Jackson; Don 
Carlisle, senior Pike from 
Gulfport, and Charlene Boggs, 
senior Alpha Delta Pi at Ole 
Miss from Jacksonville, Fla.; 
Ted Weller, junior KA pledge 
from Chatham, and Dorothy 
Oldham, sophomore from 
Delta Junior College from 
Greenwood. 

Special congratulations also 
to Dema Bosarge, sophomore 
from Grand Bay, Alabama, 
and Steve Crockett, junior

at Ole Miss from Grenada; 
and Richard "Rock" 
Dambrino, junior KE pledge 
from Biloxi, and Judy Brown, 
sophomore at Perkinston 
Junior College from Gulfport, 
who are also married. 

We cross our fingers and 
hope that we haven't left 
anyone out! But with a list 
this long it would be easy! 

Trying to avoid the use of 
"congratulations" again, we 
fail and say congratulations 
to Carolyn Tabb, junior Chi O 
from Atlanta, the new Kappa 
Alpha Rose!! She was pre- 
sented a dozen red roses at 
the 1965 Black and White 
Ball. (All the KA's dates just 
love this rainy weather so 
they can use their KA um- 
brellas given as favors! 

Have you had your ears 
pierced yet? It's the latest 
rage sweeping the Millsaps 
campus. We just can't get up 
the nerve so we'll just buy a 
pair of the white boots, also 
a fashion-a-go-go hit. 

More suggestions for the 
juke box: "It's Crying Time 
Again," by Ray Charles (es- 
pecially recommended), "As 
Tears Go By," The Rolling 
Stones, "Ebb Tide," by the 
Righteous Brothers. 

Be sure to work it in your 
schedule to see "Thunder- 
ball" and "My Fair Lady" in 
between exams. After all, 
who'll know in one hundred 
years that you failed phi- 
losophy or something else?

Du Pont Awards Grant Of $5-000 
For Advanced Teaching To Millsaps 



PR RELEASE 

Millsaps College has re- 
ceived a $5,000 rotating grant 
for advancing teaching 
through the Du Pont Com- 
pany's annual program of aid 
to education, the company has 
announced. 

The company designated 
$2,500 of the Millsaps grant 
for chemistry and $2,500 for 
other subjects important in 
the education of scientists and 
engineers. (The funds are to 
be used in any way Millsaps 
officials feel will most effec- 
tively advance instruction in 
these subjects.) 

The major part of this 



year's program is for 
strengthening the teaching of 
science and engineering, par- 
ticularly at the undergradu- 
ate level. Other important 
phases are for fundamental 
research and new facilities. 

Du Pont's program, which 
started in 1918, was primarily 
involved with university re- 
search for many years but 
was broadened in recent 
years to cover many other 
needs of education. The great- 
er emphasis on teaching in 
the grants for 1966 reflects 
the concern often expressed 
by educators for the need for 
improved teaching.

The 



Bench 



Warmer 

By James Smith 



Kopplin, Sheldon 
Lead In Scoring 



Welcome back, to a new 
year of sports at Millsaps. I 
hope everyone enjoyed the 
holidays as much as I did. 
The only bad thing about 
coming back is having to face 
those final exams after hav- 
ing two weeks to practice be- 
ing lazy. 

The Majors nave played 
three games since our last 
comments, and naturally they 
lost all three. The Falcons of 
Alabama College downed the 
Majors in a real close contest 

85 to 83 and the Delta 
Statesmen dropped Millsaps 
91 to 80 in the final games of 
1965. In the only game so far 
this year the Majors dropped 
a rematch game to Sewanee 

86 to 62. It is not that the 
Majors don't have a pretty 
^ood team, it is just that they 
come up on the losing end all 
the time. We still have hopes 
of a brighter future as the 
season progresses. 

Millsaps lettered 36 men 
this past year in football. We 
would like to congratulate the 
following men: Webb Bule, 
ilichard Dambrino, John 
Hart, Jerry Huskey, Troy Lee 
Jenkins, Jack Jones, Edwin 



Massey, Bob Mayo, Steve 
Miles, T i m m i e Millis, Bill 
Milton, Danny Neely, Gerold 
Robbins, Ernie Trahan, 
Wayne Upchurch, Ted Weller, 
and Charlie Whitten. These 
first 17 men are all juniors, 
with the exception of Webb 
Buie, and will be back next 
year to spark the Majors on 
the grid-iron. 

Others Lettering were: 
Tommy Burns, Tommy Dick- 
erson, Wayne Ferrell, David 
Morris, Tom Rebold, Jimmy 
Waide, and Ronnie Walker, 
all sophomores. Freshmen re- 
ceiving letters were: Pat 
Amos, Prentiss Bellue, Stan- 
ley Graham, Tommy Mc- 
Daniel, David Martin, Paul 
Richardson, Gus Rushing. 
George Self, and Lloyd Wag- 
ner. Managers lettering were 
Don Rutland, Gary Stewart, 
and Sammy Tucker. 

Well, it is official this 
week. Alabama has been 
named number one in the na- 
tion for the second straight 
year. At the expense of Ne- 
braska and to the disappoint- 
ment of many Michigan State 
fans the Crimson Tide racked 
up 37 first place votes and 



537 points to beat out Michi- 
gan State, second with 479 
points and 18 first place bal- 
lots. 

It might also be noted that 
not only did Tennessee finish 
7th and L.S.U. 8th as well 
as Arkansas in 3rd but receiv- 
ing votes for the second ten 
were Florida, Georgia, Geor- 
gia Tech, Mississippi, Missis- 
sippi State, and Texas Tech. 
This is ten out of twenty. This 
speaks pretty highly of the 
schools in the South. It has 
been said before that the 
S.E.C. had few bad teams. 
Member teams lost games be- 
cause they were all good and 
it just depended upon who 
was up on a particular day. 
I am becoming more con- 
vinced of this all the time. 

Basketball is underway 
around the state with the two 
S.E.C. teams sporting 4 and 4 
records in regular play and 
1 and 0 in conference play. 
The season is yet young and 
it is hard to say who will fin- 
ish on top. A good guess, 
however, would be Van- 
derbilt, Kentucky, or Tennes- 
see.

Birmingham-Southern 
Plays Majors Saturday 



Millsaps* basketball quintet 
will carry a 2-8 record into 
Saturday night's home contest 
with Birmingham Southern, 
but in a sense will be hoping 
to extend a winning streak to 
three. 

The Majors of Coach James 
Montgomery won their last 
regular season outing 83 - 82 
over William Carey when 
Charles Rosenbaum sank a 
20-foot set shot at the final 
buzzer. Then, last Saturday in 
Buie Gym the Majors won the 
annual alumni game, empty- 
ing the bench in running up a 
91-58 score on the former 
greats. 

Coach Harold W. Pickel of 
Birmingham Southern said 
before the season began that 
his club was capable of beat- 
ing anyone on their schedule 
this year, and his charges 
play quite a difficult sched- 
ule. Pickel expected his best 
season in three years at Birm- 
ingham Southern. 

The Hilltoppers had an 8-12 
mark last season, but posted 
91-63 and 121-99 triumphs over 
Millsaps in the teams' two 
meetings. Saturday will mark 
the first contest between the 
two schools this season, with 
a return engagement set in 
Birmingham February 5. 

Coach Monty's Majors have 
five home games left after 
Saturday's tilt, plus an en- 
gagement at neighboring Bel- 
haven slated for Tuesday 
night, January 21. 



The University of Mexico 
will visit Buie Gym January 
31 — the squad, composed 
mainly of Mexico's Olympic 
team, was the only team Mill- 
saps defeated last year in a 
1-27 campaign, and the Ma- 
jors will be out to make it 
two in a row. The University 
of Tampa comes in next on 
December 1, foUowed by Bel- 
haven, February 8, Southwest- 
ern, February 12, and William 
Carey, February 15. 



Millsaps managed to pull 
out a victory Thursday night 
after a see-saw battle all the 
way with the Crusaders of 
William Carey, winning the 
tilt by 83-82. 

Carey tied the score at 11- 
all with 14:16 left in first half 
action, but a tie was all Carey 

Sophomore Guards 
Play Big Roles 
For Cage Squad 

By CHRIS KELLY 

The Millsaps basketball 
team has three sophomores 
on the squad roster this year. 
Tom Kopplin, Hap Wheeler, 
and Mac Williamson, a trio 
of guards have all drawn 
starting assignments at one 
time or another for Coach 
James Montgomery's cagers. 

Kopplin, 5-10, 160 lbs., from 
Eau Claire, Wisconsin, is 
leading the Majors in scor- 
ing, averaging 13 points per 
game. Tom formerly played 
at St. Regis High School. 

At the start of the season, 
Tom was the leading free 
throw shooter in America, 
completing 26 out of 27 tosses. 
He has been unable to see 
much action recently because 
of a calcium deposit in his 
left eye. 

A KA pledge, Tom has let- 
tered in both golf and basket- 
ball at Millsaps. 

Wheeler, 5-11, 170 lbs., 
played high school basketball 
at Murphy High in Mobile, 
Alabama, where he was on 
the all-city team. He has seen 
considerable action with the 
Majors despite a badly 
sprained ankle. 

Hap is a member of Kappa 
Alpha Fraternity and has 
lettered in basketball and 
baseball at Millsaps. 

Williamson, 5-10, 155 lbs., 
from Gulfport, played basket- 
ball at Gulfport High School. 
A transfer from Mississippi 
State, Mac has been doing a 
particularly good job on de- 
fense. 

Williamson is a member of 
Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. 



could manage as Millsaps 
poured it on behind the hot 
shooting of Bill Drury. 

Millsaps built up a 10-point 
lead, 33-23, with 3:30 left in 
the half. Carey cut the lead 
with two baskets by Joe Sto- 
ver and three buckets by Lon- 
nie Brown to a 35-30 Major 
margin at the intermission. 

Carey hit a cold streak at 
the outset of the second half 
and didn't score until three 
minutes had elapsed on the 
clock when John Martin hit on 
a free throw, but by this time 
the Majors had built up an 
11-point lead. 

Carey could only come with- 
in seven points of Millsaps un- 
til 3:27 was left on the clock 
when Joe Stover cut the lead 
to five points with two free 
throws. 

Carey finally took the lead 
on a free throw by Stover 
with 49 seconds left in the con- 
test. Millsaps came right 
back on a basket by John 
Cook with just 30 seconds re- 
maining. 

Carey then played for the 
all - important one shot and 
with 15 seconds left in the 
game, Danny Ruffin hit on a

The Majors struck back 
with two seconds left when 
Charles Rosenbaum hit on a 
long set-shot to give Millsaps 
the victory. 

The win was MiUsaps' sec- 
ond of the season, coming aft- 
er the Majors had suffered 
eight straight setbacks fol- 
lowing a campaign - opening 
conquest of Huntingdon (Ala.) 
College. 

For Carey, the loss was its 
sixth to go with six wins. 

Top scorers for the victo- 
rious Majors were Drury with 
21 points, Cook with 16, Mac 
Williamson with 15 and Tom 
Sheldon with 13. 

Carey's losing cause was 
paced by Stover who tallied 
30, followed by Ruffin with 18, 
Brown and Bobby Eades with 
12 each.

Cold-Shooting Millsaps KA's, Sigs Swap Victories, 

Loses Again To Sewanee 



By TOMMY DAVIS 

Floor mistakes, sloppy 
play, and cold shooting kept 
the Majors from beating Se- 
•vanee last Monday as the 
Tennessee quint picked up an 
easy 86-62 victory, their sec- 
ond in two tries over Millsaps 
this season. 

After five minutes of play 
the Majors held a 10-9 lead, 
but at this point the Tigers 
took over and controlled play 
the rest of the night. The half 
time score was 43-30, and the 
second period saw Sewanee 
really pour it on as they took 



a 26 point lead after 15 min- 
utes of play. 

Bob Swisher of Sewanee 
was high scorer with 25 
points. He was closely fol- 
lowed by Tom Ward with 21. 
Freshman forward Bill Drury 
led the Majors with 13 points 
while John Cook collected 11 
points and 12 rebounds. 

Sewanee hit 34 of 67 field 
goals for just over 50 per cent 
from the floor while the Ma- 
jors only managed to hit 28 
of 98 for a cold 29 per cent. 
The Majors did get 53 re- 
bounds to 43 for the visitors.

The Monty Pre-Christmas 
Tournament has gone into its 
second week of January with 
Kappa Alpha No. 1 and Kap- 
pa Sigma No. 1 tied for first 
place with one loss apiece. 

Three games were played 
before the holidays. In the 
first game, Kappa Sigma No. 
1 knocked off the KA No. 1 
team in overtime play 64-59. 
The Sigs had built up a 37-19 
halftime lead only to go cold 
in the fourth quarter. The 
Sigs regained their control in 
the overtime play, however, 
to take the KA's 64-59. 

Rod Bartlett of the Sigs was 
high man of the night with 21 
points. He was followed by 
KA Ward Van Skiver and Sig 
George Williamson with 17 
and 16 tallies, respectively. 

In the second game of the 
night, the Independents 
knocked the KA No. 2 team 
out of the running with a slim 
54-48 win. The KA's held a 
five point lead going into the 
fourth quarter, but the dead- 
ly aim of Mickey Wood and 
Mark Matheny quickly took 
the lead for the Independents. 
Between the two of them, 
they scored 23 points in the 
fourth quarter to bomb out 
the KA's. 



Wood was high man in the 
game with 18 points followed 
by Matheny and KA Glenn 
Turnage with 12 points apiece. 

The next night the KA No. 1 
team reversed the count and 
swept the Independents out of 
the tournament 64-42. The 
KA's took an early lead and 
held it throughout the game. 
Mickey Wood of the Inde- 
pendents, however, scored 20 
points to lead the game, fol- 
lowed by Joe Bailey of the 
KA's with 18. 

In the first game after the 
holidays the KA's outshot and 
outrebounded the Sigs to take 
the game 55-40. The game 
started out cold with only a 



12-8 first quarter KA lead. In 
the second quarter, however, 
the KA's began to warm up 
while the Sigs could not get 
started. 

Tommy Davis of the KA's 
and George Williamson of the 
Sigs tied for high man with 
14 points apiece. It proved to 
be a cold night with all of 
the usual scorers, Ward Van 
Skiver and Joe Bailey of the 
KA's and Rod Bartlett and 
Frank McEachern of the Sigs, 
scoring under 10 points. 

This week's third contest 
between the KA No. 1 and 
Sig No. 1 teams is to decide 
the tournament championship.

The University of Southern 
Mississippi dominated the 
Millsaps College Invitational 
Debate Tournament Satur- 
day, winning four trophies by 
canceling out all competition 
in the women's division and 
taking seconds in the senior 
men's and junior divisions. 

The University of Houston 
took home three trophies, in- 
cluding one for first place in 
the men's division, a first in 
extemporaneous speaking and 
a second in oratory. 

The other top winner was 
the University of Arkansas, 
first place in the junior divi- 
sion. 

Southern's two women's 
teams won through the semi- 
finals and would have been 
paired in the finals. Marilee 
Dukes, Paula Price, Kathryn 
Schledwitz and Mary Ann 
Strahan make up the teams. 

Southern's representatives, 
Joe Lewis, III and Edward 
Nelson lost to Houston in the 
senior men's division. 

The University of Arkansas 
debaters, the only team which 
went through the finals unde- 
feated, won over Danny Kel- 
lick and Tim Medley of South- 
ern in the finals in the jun- 
ior division. 

Trophies were awarded to 
all six top teams. 

Final registration for the 
tournament, the 26th at Mill- 
saps, showed 56 teams repre- 
senting 19 colleges and uni- 
versities in nine states were 
entered. Tournament Director 
Orvel Hooker said the meet 
"ran smoothly, with a mini- 
mum of difficulty." He ex- 
pressed satisfaction with the 
cross-section of schools repre- 
sented. 

The teams debated the offi- 
cial intercollegiate subject, 
"Resolved: that law enforce- 
ment agencies should be giv- 
en greater freedom in the 



prosecution of crime." 

Participating were Arkan- 
sas State Teachers College, 
Central Missouri State 
College, David Lipscomb Col- 
lege, Delta State College, 
Florida State University, 
Hinds Junior College, Mid- 
western University, Millsaps 
College, Mississippi College, 
Northeast Louisiana State 
College, Southern Illinois Uni- 
versity, Southwestern at 
Memphis, Spring Hill College, 
University of Arkansas, Uni- 
versity of Arkansas, Univer- 
sity of Houston, University of 
South Alabama, University of 
Southern Mississippi, Univer- 
sity of Southwestern Louisi- 
ana and William Carey Col- 
lege. 

First place honors in indi- 
vidual speaking competition 



Friday were awarded to Ken- 
neth Schott, of David Lips- 
comb, and David Seikel, of 
the University of Houston. 

Schott was the winner in 
oratory and Seikel took the 
top award in extemporaneous 
speaking. 

Second place in oratory was 
won by Rokki Roberts, of the 
University of Houston. Sec- 
ond in extemporaneous speak- 
ing went to John Crain, of 
Midwestern University, Wich- 
ita Falls, Texas. 

Texas dominated the win- 
ning columns Friday, taking 
three of the four awards. The 
two University of Houston 
honors, a first and a second, 
followed last year's pattern, 
when the school took a first 
in oratory and in the junior 
division of the debates. 



WSGA officers' election and 
installation last Wednesday 
placed the presidency in the 
hands of Cindy Felder, jun- 
ior from McComb. Dale 
Brackin, sophomore from 
Bardwell, Ky., was chosen 
vice president; Leslie Jean 
Floyd, sophomore from In- 
dianola, is the new secretary. 
Dot Boswell, Jackson, is the 
outgoing president. 

Dean John Christmas ad- 
dressed the WSGA represen- 
tatives, explaining the plans 
for the new women's dormi- 
tories, which he hopes will be 
complete by next fall. 

He said the buildings are 
being constructed on the mod- 
ular design, living units being 
built around a small group of 
people, sixteen in this case. 
Each of the four wings on 
each of the three floors will 
house 16 people, a total of 192. 

On the first floor a study 
room, informal TV room, 
area for concession machines, 
cooking area, ice box, and 



other facilities will be pro- 
vided. 

He said that each wing in 
the building will have its own 
telephone, lounge, and rest 
room. It will also have a 
stairwell opening to the out- 
side for convenience (during 
the day). 

Each floor will have a 
washroom in the center. In- 
dividual lavoratories in the 
rooms had to be sacrificed 
for other important conven- 
iences. The heating and cool- 
ing system will be controlled 
locally in each room. Dean 
Christmas said a great deal 
of attention is being paid to 
lighting and additional closet 
space. 



Financial Aid Programs 
Available For Students 



Students who will be at- 
tending Millsaps second se- 
mester and are in need of fi- 
nancial assistance have a 
number of grants, loans, and 
other programs open to them. 
Millsaps has its own financial 
aid program as well as those 
offered by the federal govern- 
ment. 

Many of these programs 
have been in effect for years. 
The College has felt that it 
should provide a quality edu- 
cation and give financial aid 
to those who show a need, a 
desire for education, and have 
the ability to do college work. 

The various types of fi- 
nancial assistance offered by 
Millsaps include grants, serv- 



ice scholarships, loans, and 
work programs. Application 
forms for all financial as- 
sistance programs may be se- 
cured by contacting the chair- 
man of the Awards Commit- 
tee, Mr. Jack Woodward. 

Millsaps is also participat- 
ing in several governmental- 
sponsored programs. These 
include the National Defense 
Student Loan Program, by 
which a student may borrow 
up to $5,000 at the nominal 
rate of three percent a year. 
Another such program is the 
College Work Program. Stu- 
dents participating in this will 
hold «uch jobs as library as- 
sistants, dormitory jobs, and 
clerical and maintenance 



work. 

The purpose of the Educa- 
tional Opportunity Grant is to 
assist in making available the 
benefits of higher education 
to qualified students of excep- 
tional financial need, who 
would otherwise be unable to 
obtain such benefits. The 
Low - Interest Student Loan 
Program assists nonprofit in- 
stitutions to establish or 
strengthen low -cost 
guaranteed loans to students 
enrolled in eligible colleges 
and institutions. 

For more information con- 
cerning Financial Assistance,

Collefe 



Biology Dept. 
Receives Grant 

Over $1000 worth of equip- 
ment was recently given to 
the Millsaps biology depart- 
ment by Mrs. Norman Bern- 
stein of Jackson in memory 
of her husband, the late Dr. 
Norman Bernstein. 

Dr. Bernstein was one of 
five Jackson residents who 
were killed in an airplane 
crash over South Dakota 
while on a hunting trip this 
past October. A doctor of in- 
ternal medicine, Dr. Bern- 
stein was on the clinical fac- 
ulty at the University Med- 
ical Center. He was also a 
clinical assistant professor in 
the department of medicine. 

The equipment which Mrs. 
Bernstein is adding to the bi- 
ology department include the 
following: one Coleman junior 
spectrophotometer, two vacu- 
vette cells, one dozen voltage 
stabilizers, one manual of 
clinial methods for the Cole- 
man junior spectrophotomet- 
er, one Adams autocrit cen- 
trifuge, and one Adams safe- 
guard centrifuge and miscel- 
laneous accessories for the 
spectrophotometer.

Millsaps After One Year 



This edition of the Purple and White 
closes out the one-year tenure of this 
newspaper administration. However, 
we are approaching the "anniversary" 
of a far more important administration 
at Millsaps College, for it has now been 
one year since President Benjamin B. 
Graves assumed the office of president 
of the college. 

The past year has been one of the 
most difficult, challenging, and yet re- 
warding twelve-month periods in the 
life of Millsaps College. Twelve months 
ago today, an almost critical situation 
existed in that student enrollment was 
at a depressingly low point; the school 
was unable to attain Federal money be- 
cause of its unwillingness to accept Ne- 
gro students, thereby hampering school 
development plans and threatening the 
loss of some excellent faculty mem- 
bers; Millsaps' "play-for-fun" athletic 
department was in the midst of an 0-8 
football season and a 1-27 basketball 
season; students were complain- 
ing about required chapel programs 
which told the same lesson almost ev- 
ery week; faculty members were leav- 
ing at an alarming rate to gain better 
salaries elsewhere. 

Such was the picture twelve months 
ago when Dr. Graves joined other mem- 
bers of the Millsaps family to form the 
most successful administration in the 



history of Millsaps. 

Each problem was pressing. Each 
had to be resolved. The alternative so- 
lutions were not always very pleasant. 
But something had to be done. And 
something was done. For this reason, 
Millsaps had a successful twelve 
months. 

An open admissions policy was es- 
tablished; athletic scholarships were 
created; chapel programs boasted 
more originality and variety, included 
more student participation; tuition 
charges were sadly, but necessarily 
raised. 

So where does Millsaps stand today? 
Student enrollment is up. A student re- 
cruitment program has been installed 
to inform high schol students through- 
out the South about Millsaps* good qual- 
ities. Two new dormitories are being 
built on campus. Ford Foundation rep- 
resentatives are at least looking at 
Millsaps as a possibility for a future 
grant, an honor in itself. The school 
Student Senate is closer to the student 
body than ever before, a credit to our 
excellent SEB officers. 

Difficulties still remain to be con- 
quered. But, no doubt about it, Mill- 
saps College is on the way forward. 
Let us only hope that the current ad- 
ministration, headed by Dr. Graves, is 
with us for many more twelve-month 
periods. 



The College Newspaper's Role 



This being the final Purple and 
White for this editor, an intriguing ques- 
tion keeps popping in and out of our 
mind these days. That is, what exactly 
should be the role of a student news- 
paper on a college campus in these 
times? 

Different students, educators, admin- 
isters, and other readers probably 
could all give varying answers to the 
question. It is interesting to read dif- 
ferent college newspapers to note the 
attitudes taken by editors themselves in 
this regard. 

Should a college newspaper merely 
try to relate the news happenings of the 
week concerning his school? Should it 
avoid touchy questions because of their 
controversial nature or because of a 
lack of expertism on a subject? Should 
a college editor succumb to all the 
wishes of his readers or should he have 
a set standard of rules to follow? 

A college newspaper editor, like any 
other newspaper editor, is placed in 
sort of a dilemma in that newspapers 
can and will never please everyone. 
Sometimes it takes an editor a while 
to realize this, but nonetheless it is 
true. There are some constant critics 
— those who demand sex on the sports 
page because, "after all, that is man's 
favorite sport, isn't it?", those who 
complain because of a lack of contro- 
versial material yet then turn around 
and yelp when one touchy subject is 
handled unfavorably toward his view- 
point, those who scrutinize every page 
in search of accidental proof-reading 
errors when they themselves haven't 
the initiative to use their supersonic 
eyes constructively. 

Basically, students on a college cam- 
pus want to read lively material: ma- 
terial that will make them laugh, ma- 
terial that will make them think. 
Straight news is all right and every 
newspaper will supposedly always be 
occupied with such trivia, including the 
Purple and White, but on a college 



campus most readers know any news 
happenings anyway. So, it is contro- 
versy that readers desire, and right- 
fully so. 

Thus, a newspaper editor is obligated 
to stir up such controversy. Perhaps it 
can be done through a cartoon, per- 
haps through a Symposium column, 
perhaps through a lively editorial, per- 
haps through a sports column or even 
a headline, perhaps through an unfa- 
vorable review of a movie in an en- 
tertainment column. But such contro- 
versy or liveliness, if you prefer, must 
exist in a college publication. 

And this is what makes an editor's 
task hardest: to find controversial sub- 
jects. Sometimes it is easy, sometimes 
things need saying and deserve treat- 
ment in a newspaper. Often, however, 
the task isn't so simple. Some weeks, 
excitement on a college campus gives 
way to study and other such necessi- 
ties, and that college newspaper, as all 
college newspapers will often do, be- 
comes dull. 

Students cannot expect a college 
newspaper to attack or propose some 
controversial subject everytime out, 
for such is an impossibility. And just as 
it is an editor's duty to editorialize on 
important items, so too it is the stu- 
dents' responsibility to keep an editor 
informed on such items when they do 
exist. 

A college newspaper must be for stu- 
dents with students' interests in mind. 
No standard guidebook can be followed 
to the letter— a paper must be written 
with that specific college's students in 
mind. An editor owes a responsibility 
to respect and adhere to the wishes of 
his student readers; and in return those 
readers owe an editor a willingness to 
make constructive suggestions, to take 
an active interest in their publication, 
and to appreciate the fact that nobody, 
especially an amateur as collegiate edi- 
tors are, can come up with a winner 
every time out. 



IDEAS 



AND 

OPINIONS 




Shattuck 



With this edition of the Pur- 
ple and White, the 24th and 
final installment of IDEAS 
and OPINIONS appears. A 
full year has gone by since 
this editor assumed his posi- 
tion, and with the conclusion 
of this semester, the duties 
of publishing a weekly news- 
paper pass into the capable 
hands of Miss Marie Smith. 

We are confident that Marie 
will edit an excellent paper. 
She has many new ideas and 
the determination to carry 
them through which should 
make 1966 one of the best 
years ever for the Purple and 
White. 

We can't thank our own 
staff enough for the many 
hours spent on behalf of the 
P & W. Assistant editor Polly 
Dement, news editor Marie 
Smith, last semester's man- 
aging editor Sara Ann Wier, 
sports editor Ben Mitchell, 
photographer Ernest Rucker, 
chief cartoonist Sammie Lee 
Tucker, columnists Emily 
Compton, J. K. Smith, Sam- 
my Kernell, Ronald Good- 
bread, Barry McGehee, and 
all the other persons whose 
names appear on the mast- 
head have all faithfully con- 
tributed their efforts towards 
this publication during the 
past twelve months. 

We can only hope that Ma- 
rie is blessed wkh such a 
dedicated staff in the months 
ahead. 



We have tried our best to 
make a few improvements in 
the Purple and White during 
the past twelve months. We 
know in some respects we 
have failed — we hope in oth- 
ers that we have succeeded. 
We have tried, as we prom- 
ised in our first edition, to 
publish a thorough, entertain- 
ing, thought-provoking news- 
paper with emphasis placed 
upon the desires of the stu- 
dent body for whom the Pur- 
ple and White is printed. 

We have tried to adhere to 
the wishes of our readers at 
all times. We experimented 
once in our first semester 
with the current-sized paper 
as opposed to the large size 



previously printed. Students 
voiced approval, and this se- 
mester we made the change 
permanent. A change in print- 
ers was made in the hope that 
we could publish a neater 
newspaper with less mistakes, 
and in this respect we want 
to thank Thornton Publishers 
of Jackson for helping us feel 
that in this case we made a 
right move. Students deserved 
a larger newspaper and, at 
the expense of additional work 
loads for our staff, we in- 
creased the size to its largest 
size ever. 

We've always tried to in- 
clude in our publication the 
topics students wanted most 
to read about — we've never 
tried to deliberately avoid 
any controversial subject, al- 
though at times there seemed 
to be more such subjects than 
at other times. We've tried to 
keep the Purple and White 
lively, while still not submit- 
ting to unsound principles. 

We are thankful for the op- 
portunity to edit the Purple 
and White. It has been a 
great challenge to us, a chal- 
lenge which has brought 
many disappointments be- 
cause some things we wanted 
to do we did not accom- 
plish; a challenge which has 
enabled us to observe with 
much more respect our stu- 
dent government, our admin- 
istration, and other facets of 
the college; a challenge which 
has, above all, rewarded us 
with the opportunity to work 
closely with the wonderful stu- 
dent body at Millsaps College.

Symposium 



What Too Many Students' Possess: Time On Their Hands 



By RONALD GOODBREAD 
Symposium Editor 

There are few things as 
beautiful, I have said before, 
as a sunset from Methodist 
Hill viewed from the account- 
ing lab in Murrah Hall. There 
aren't many things as impres- 
sive as the view of the golf 
course from the big window 
on the second floor landing 
on the library steps on a 
spring afternoon. The peace of 
mind that comes from a walk 
down the leaf-covered walk of 
the wooded section in front 
of the Administration build- 
ing is immutable. Nothing 
quite approaches the loneli- 
ness of the pitcher's mound 
of the baseball field on a late 
winter afternoon, or standing 
on the stage in the Christian 
Center late at night. Nothing 
is as contrasting as the deso- 
late parking lot by the girls 
dormitories at 11:50 and the 
traffic jam there at 11:55. 
And nothing is as disgusting 
as watching all of this go un- 
observed, as watching Mill- 
saps students with time on 
their hands and wasting it, as 
realizing that they are letting 
their college careers slip 
through their fingers like the 
weekly allowance check the 
old man sends them from 
home. 

When one stops to think, it 
is hard to realize that there 
are those who come to Mill- 
saps, go to class, sleep in 
their room, watch an occa- 
sional television program, 
read a small novel now and 
then, check their mailboxes 
and take their grades and go 
home. It is difficult to realize 
that there are those at our 
school who have never been 
to a basketball game, for in- 
stance, or sung in a choir, 
or spoken to an audience, or 
taken communion in Fitzhugh 
Chapel. It is hard to imagine 
not participating in intramur- 
als, not voting in an election, 
never having seen the Senate 
in session, or worked on a 
publications staff, or never 
doing anything signifi- 
cant enough to become a 
member of an honorary. 

I have known those who 
have never seen a Millsaps 
Player's production and one 
or two who committed the 
unpardonable sin of failing- 
out of sheer indifference — to 
see "My Fair Lady" or the 
"Unsinkable Molly Brown." I 
have known of people who 
have driven miles to hear a 
concert by our Singers while 
a few dead-headed students 
studied and drank coffee and 
smoked cigarettes and shot 
bull outside in the lounges in 
the CC. 

And what do they talk 
about? About how dead Mill- 
saps is. About how nothing 
ever happens. About how 
much better it would be 
somewhere else. About how 
much they have to do! About 
how little time they have be- 
cause their studies are so 
hard! 

They will, however, find 
time to make a Passion Pit 
out of the lounge, or carry on 
a marathon bridge game in 
the TV lobby, or even spend 
enough time in front of the 
TV in Galloway Hall to recite 



the program schedule for 
you. There is always time to 
climb up on top of the library 
and hang a sign proclaiming 
in big letters the alledged ex- 
tra-curricular" activities of 
the KA's, or to gripe (on the 
hoof or in print) about how 
lousy they think the P & W 
is or how they think the Sen- 
ate is foolish and self-cen- 
tered. 

They will steal mathematics 
notes and umbrellas simply 
because they have lost theirs, 
they will park illegally sim- 
ply because they are in a 
hurry, they will throw a coke 
cup on the ground because 
they are already past the 
trash can going to the library, 
(never thinking to remember 
that there is one on the curb 
at the top of the walk), they 
will fail to flush the john in 
the dormitory because they 
have to bend over to do it, or 
say please and thank you and 
ma'm to the ladies in the 
cafeteria line because they 
are Negroes. They will never 
find time to read the edi- 
torials in the newspaper, or 
hear a program at MSM, or 
sing in song fest, or buy a 
box of girl scout cookies from 
Amy Knox or some other fac 
ulty daughter. 

No, there is no time. No 
time to read 1600 pages for 
outside reading in history- 
does that prof think this is 
the only course I'm taking? 
No time to vote, or campaign, 
or run for office — the govern- 
ment doesn't do anything any- 
way. No time to see Prof 
Hardin's slides again — he 
made us look at them in 
soph lit last year anyway. 

Time? Time? What is time? 
Time is like anything else; 
it is what you make it. Each 
day is like a clean sheet of 
paper in class: you can scrib- 
ble and doodle on it and 
waste it and throw it away 
or you can take notes on it and 
keep it to study by — to learn 
from. No you can't keep it, 
exactly,— you can remember 
it. You can put it in a 
memory note book and keep 
it on a shelf midway 4 twixt 
earth and paradise. You can 
save it there and leave it for 
others or you can throw it 
away to no avail. You can 
save from your college years 
a rich library of experience 
on your mental shelves or you 
can have barren shelves that 
are as worthless as the cob- 
webs that cling to them. 

You don't have time, you 
say? Well, who are you? Why 
do you think you have any 
less time than anyone else. 
Everyone has the same 
amount of time. You don't 
get any more or any less than 
anyone else. 24 hours a day — 
same thing the world around. 
With those 24 hours a day 
a girl graduated last year 
with a 2.98 overall point in- 
desx. Handel wrote the Mes- 
siah in two weeks. John Ken- 
nedy stopped aggression in 
Cuba. Albert Schwietzer cured 
sickness in Africa. All in 
t 4 vhrs a day! 
But you don't have to be an 
internationally known person 
to make memory books in 
time. Try taking 21 hours and 
of the 



P & W. Try singing in the 
concert choir, being a dorm 
manager, being in three hono- 
raries and taking courses for 
a double major. Try taking 
19 hours and working at the 
YMCA's Gray-Y program in 
the afternoons. Try gradu- 
ating in three years and be- 
ing president of the Chi O's. 
Or taking extra hours, work- 
ing in the afternoons, being 
Secretary of the SEB and 
President of the Phi Mu's! Try 
making the Dean's List every 
semester and being President 
of SEB. Or being editor of the 
BOBASHELA while a sopho- 
more. Or business manager of 
the P & W and graduating a 
year ahead of schedule. 

Time is relative. And its 
relative is dedication. You 
can do pretty much what 
you've a mind to. You can 
use each day, each hour, each 
class meeting, as a guide on 
the road of life to get you 
where you're going. But, if 
you waste your time, to 
quote Dr. Gordon G. Hender 
son, "If you don't know where 
you're going, any road will 
take you there." If you have 
read this far, your humble 
scribe hopes that your time 
has not been wasted. But the 
next time you do get a chance 
to view the sunset from the 
second floor of Murrah Hall, 
remember this: that sunset 
means you have one less day 



to live; it means you are 24 
hours further away from an 
irretrievable past and 24 
hours closer to an uncertain 
future. You have that time 
on your hands. Build with it, 
write with it, work with it. 
One of my favorite poets 
wrote it this way: 

Time! what an empty va- 
por t'is! 

And days how swift they 
are! 

Swift as an Indian arrow,— 



Swift as a shooting-star; 
The present moment now is 
here, 

Then slides away in haste, — 

So we can never say, they 
are ours, 

But only, they are past. 

Time on your hands, 
students. Time on your hands. 
This week is a good time to 
learn to use it well. 

Oh, the poet? Who else in 
this column— Abraham Lin- 
coln!

' The Ecumenical Movement" 
Is MSM Topic Of Mr. Hooker 



"The Ecumenical Move- 
ment" was the title of a dis- 
cussion led by Mr. Orvel E. 
Hooker at MSM last Monday 
night. Mr. Hooker, Baptist 
minister and professor in Mill- 
saps speech department, pre- 
sented his views on the need 
for union among Christian 
churches. He explained that 
the ecumenical movement is 
concerned with the unneces- 
sary and impractical denom- 
inational divisions among 
Christians and the recent real- 
ization that the Church of 
Christ should be one united 
church. 

Quoting Charles Clayton 
Morrison, author of The Un- 
finished Reformation, t h e 
speaker elaborated on several 
drawbacks of the denomina- 
tional system. 

1. Denominationalism is 
wasteful of the resources of 
Protestantism. He pointed out 
that this waste applies to the 
support of local churches and 
to overhead expenses. Protes- 
tant churches of different de- 
nominations, he said, are so 
often found side by side and 
in competition with each oth- 
er. Pointing out that few de- 
nominations have any real 
great distinctives in beliefs, 
he asked, "Why have all these 
different churches? Why 
couldn't we just have one 
church?" 

2. It is a shameful embar- 
rassment to the missionary 
expansion of Christianity. 
Here Mr. Hooker recited a 
hypothetical example of poor 

is left ut- 



terly confused after being 
"zeroed in on" by four or five 
denominations, all agreeing 
on the basics, but differing 
on fine points. 

3. It frustrates the efforts 
of Protestantism to discharge 
the responsibility which the 
social gospel lays upon the 
Christian Church. The speak- 
er said that much progress 
was now being made on this 
point. 

4. It robs Protestantism of 
its inherent strength in its in- 



escapable competition with 
an agressive Roman Catholi- 
cism. 

Mr. Hooker said that the 
three main points of differ- 
ence among the various 
denominations concerned the 
sacraments (particularly bap- 
tism), church government, 
and ordination. 

The speaker concluded that 
the ideal church would be one 
which was united, but which 
allowed a divergence of opin- 
ion on these points. 



Miss. Research, Development Head 
Addresses Millsaps Chapel Audience 



By DARRELL BUSH 

Dr. Kenneth Wagner, direc- 
tor of the Mississippi Re- 
search and Development Cen- 
ter, spoke in chapel last week 
on the work of the center. 

Dr. Wagner, who came to 
Mississippi from Georgia 
Tech where he was chief of 
the industrial development 
department, received a Ph.D. 
in sociology at the University 
of North Carolina. An expert 
in organizational analysis, he 
was chosen last July by Gov- 
ernor Johnson to assume di- 
rectorship of the Mississippi 
Center. 

Believing that the biggest 
"crime" being committed 
against individuals in Missis- 
sippi is the ineffective use of 
our manpower, he spoke on 
the results of this problem 
be don 



it. 

To accomplish this he feels 
the economic development of 
the state must be accelerated, 
which is his main job at the 
Research Center. 

He has established as his 
goal the closing of the in- 
come gap between our state 
and the nation by the year 
2000. At present, he said, we 
are a little bit below the aver- 
age 30 years ago. However, 
percentage-wise we have im- 
proved. 

Listed among things he 
says must be done to reach 
his goal are analyzing infor- 
mation; mapping out the state 
according to the economic po- 
tentials of each area; working 
closely with state universities 
—letting professors do r - 
search part of the year and 
the rest of the year.

Two Summer Intern Programs 
Offered In Political Science Dept. 



Two summer government 
intern programs are being 
offered for those students in- 
terested in actively participat- 
ing in government, according 
to Mr. John Quincy Adams, 
head of Millsaps political 
science department. 

One is a Congressional in- 
ternship, made possible by 
the recent passage of a reso- 
lution in the United States 
House of Representatives. The 
House has made available to 
each Congressional member 
the sum of $750 for the sup- 
port of a college intern in 
each Washington congression- 



al office during the summer 
months. A similar resolution 
is expected to pass soon, pro- 
viding money for college in- 
terns in Senate offices. 

The other program involves 
summer internship in local 
government. The Internation- 
al City Managers Association 
will, for the third year, cir- 
culate a list of students inter- 
ested in the program to ci- 
ties who are willing to em- 
ploy summer interns. 

The purpose of the summer 
internship is to interest young 
people in career opportunities 
in local government by pro- 



Sealez&h 



viding actual working experi- 
ence. 

The internship positions are 
open mainly to college under- 
graduate and graduate stu- 
dents training for careers in 
local government. A limited 
number of grants for this 
program are available 
through the Murray Season- 
good Good Government Fund. 

Students interested in the 
Congressional internship or in 
obtaining a MSGGF grant to 
participate in the local gov- 
ernment intern program, 
with academic credit, should 
contact Mr. Adams. 

The deadline for signing up 
for the latter program is 
March I. Interested students 
may also write the Murray 
Seasongood Good Government 
Fund, Summer Internship 
Program, 600 Oak St., Ox- 
ford, Ohio.

Final Society Column 
Praises Tranquilizers 



By EMILY COMPTON 

Tranquilizers are wonder- 
ful! Or are they? Sitting here 
working on the phones, listen- 
ing to the radio with one ear 
and the television with the 
other, and trying to think of 
clever ideas to start this our 
final society column, we are 
so tranquil that we can't 
think of a thing — clever or 
otherwise! So we do some- 
thing different and begin at 
the beginning. 

We knew we'd do it and we 
did! We left people out last 
week in our list of congratu- 
lations to those dropped, pin- 
ned, and engaged. And some 
new names need to be added 
to the list. 

Congratulations to Mike An 
nis, junior from Wiggins, who 
is engaged to Richard Cain, 
a junior at Ole Miss. 

Congratulations also to Es- 
ther Marett, freshman KD 
pledge from Tupelo, and 
Frank McEachern, freshman 
KE pledge from Jackson; and 
Terriane Walters, freshman 
KD pledge from Midnight, 
and Carl Bush, freshman Pike 
pledge from Tupelo; and Dot- 
tie Souges, freshman Chi O 
pledge from Rosedale, and 
Hunter Webb, Pike junior 
from Meridian, who are all 
dropped. 

The newly-elected officers 
of Chi Omega are Jean Nich- 
olson, president; Cindy Fel- 
der, vice - president; Carolyn 
Tabb secretary; Mebbie Da- 
vidson, treasurer; Cindy Tol- 
lison, personnel; Estelle Noel, 
and Polly Gatlin, rush chair- 
men; Betsy Stone, pledge 



trainer. 

The Kappa Delta officers 
for 1966-67 are O'Hara Baas, 
president; Leslie Jeanne 
Floyd, vice-president; Susan 
McLemore, secretary; Carol 
Ann Walker, treasurer; Linda 
Hall, assistant treasurer; Pol- 
ly Dement, editor; and Susan 
Duquette, membership chair- 
man. 

Congratulations to the new- 
ly-elected W.S.G.A. officers: 
Cindy Felder, president; Dale 
Bracken, vice-president; and 
Leslie Jeanne Floyd, secre- 
tary. 

Since last week was dead 
week (and it really was) and 
today marks the beginning 
(no classes!!!) of exams, we 
actually don't have much to 
write about. Since this is our 
last c o 1 u m n, we threatened 
to slander people, tell ugly 
jokes, start vicious rumors, 
etc. But we can't think of any- 
thing right at the moment. . . 
unless we say we hope Lee. . . 
no, we best not say that! 

One more recommendation 
for the jukebox: "These Boots 
Are Made For Walking/' by 
Nancy Sinatra and "My Life 
is Empty Without You," by 
the Supremes. Someone left a 
note in our sign out card re- 
questing "I See The Light" 
("It's All Right") by the Five 
Americans. Actually we don't 
care for it but the customer 
is always right! 

Parting is such sweet sor- 
row, etc., but anyway we've 
enjoyed writing this column 
for the past two semesters! 
Good luck to the next society 
editor!

Kappa Alpha Defeats Kappa Sigma, 
Wins Monlty Invitational Tournament 



COOK FIRES JUMPER — Ace forward Jofin Cook of the 
Majors' basketball squad lets go with a jump shot during 
the Majors fame last week with powerful Birmingham South- 
ern. Other Millsaps players in view are Hap Wheeler (14) and 
Tom Kopplin. The Hilltoppers won 91-79. 



The 



Bench 



By James Smith

Flash, Millsaps Majors 
win! You don't believe, well 
I do. The law of averages 
can't be against you all the 
time. We finally got the good 
breaks on our side for a 
change. True this is only the 
second win of the season, but 
the season is not over yet. We 
still have nine more games 
to go. 

Getting back to that win; 
it happened at Hattiesburg 
about a week or two ago. 
Playing on Carey's home 
court the Majors downed the 
Crusaders by a score of 83 
to 82. Some people may not 
think too highly of the point 
difference, but Millsaps has 
lost at least two this year by 
only one point. Even though 
it is only one point, it chalks 
up a mark for that win col- 
umn (which can use all the 
marks it can get). 

During the game the Ma- 
jors led by as much as 11 
points and carried a five 
point lead into halftime. Bill 
Drury led the scoring for Mill- 
saps with 21 and Joe Stover 
put in 30 for the losing Wil- 
liam Carey Crusaders. 
Though Millsaps had four 
men in double figures, it was 
Rosenbaum who saved the 
day with his only basket of 
the night with two seconds 
left. 

Five of the nine remaining 
games this season will be 
played at home. The next con- 
test basketball lovers will wit- 
ness on the campus will be a 
game between Millsaps and 
the University of Mexico on 
January 31. it should be in- 
teresting to see this game; 
if our neighbors from south 
of the 



as well as they do football, it 
will be a close one. 

Following the game with 
Mexico will be a t u s s c I 
with the Univ. of Tampa on 
Feb. t. With exams over ev- 
eryone should go out and sup- 
port the Majors, and maybe 
we can chalk up a few more 
for that win column. 

With the conclusion of the 
Senior Bowl two weeks ago 
in Mobile, the football season 
has all but passed for anoth- 
er year. In exciting action, 
that saw the South squad 
overcome an 11 point half- 
time lead by the North, the 
South downed the North 27 to 
18 behind the qu arte rbac kin g 
of Randy Johnson. 

Everyone was disappointed 
that Steve Sloan did not play 
for the South because of in- 
juries suffered in the Orange 
Bowl. Johnson made up for 
Sloan's absence and passed 
for two of the five Southern 
talleys. 

The star of the show in ev- 
erybody's book had to be 
Howard Twilley. This little 
man seemed to come up from 
nowhere to catch the ball 
among a host of defenders. 
He caught twelve passes that 
day for a Senior Bowl record 
and was also named outstand- 
ing player of the game. 

The South now leads the se- 
ries 11 to 5, with one tie. 

Well with all the action 
over for the year everyone 
can sit back and take life 
easy for awhile. Basketball is 
yet young, and by March, 
the most popular sport in 
America, baseball, will start. 

Good luck to everyone on 
their exams, and lets all go 
the Majors. 



By REID BINGHAM 

Despite a strong last min- 
ute Sig rally Kappa Alpha 
took the championship game 
of the Pre-Christmas Monty 
Invitational Tourna- 
ment. Kappa Sigma trailed 
throughout the game until the 
fourth quarter when they 
made a determined rally 
which threw the game into 
overtime play on a trance 
last second shot by Joe Ben- 
nett. However, the Sigs again 
went cold and the KA's won 
the Tournament in overtime 
play 48-45. 

The tilt started slow but by 
the end of the first quarter 
the KA's had built a nine 



point 17-8 lead behind the 
dead eye of Tommy Davis. 
During the second and third 
quarters the Sigs were never 
able to get within five points 
of the KA's. Either team 
could have taken a command- 
ing lead had they been able 
to capitalize on their char- 
ity shots. Before the fourth 
quarter both teams were only 
hitting about 30% from the 
free throw line. 

Going into the fourth quar- 
ter the KA's had it all but 
rapped up with a 39-28 lead. 
The Sigs finally rallied scor- 
ing 15 points and holding the 
KA's to only four points in 
eight minutes. With only sec- 



onds remaining the Sigs 
brought the ball down court 
trailing by two points. Joe 
Bennett took a set shot as the 
buzzer sounded to tie the 
game 43-43 and send it into 
overtime play. The Sigs were 
unable to keep the ball and 
Jimmy Gentry scored five 
points for the KA's to give the 
game and the Tournament 
Championship. 

The high scorer for the 
night was Gentry with 16 tal- 
lies followed by Bennett and 
Frank McEachern of the Sigs 
with 10 markers apiece. 



Late Surges Fall Short 
As Majors Lose 9L79 



By JIMMY GENTRY 

Two second half comeback 
efforts were not enough for 
the Millsaps Majors as they 
were defeated here Sa.urday 
night by the Birm .gham 
Southern Panthers by tho 
score of 91-79. 

Birmingham Southern's bal- 
anced scoring attack saw four 
men scoring in double figures 
led by John Whitworth with 
23. Millsaps was led by 
Charles Rosenbaum with 15, 
followed by Tom Kopplin with 
13, and John Cook with 11. 

After a sloppy first half 
which ended with t h e 
Panthers holding a 39-28 lead, 
the Majors closed the gap to 
43-37 with 18:30 left in the 



half. Cook hit for five points 
within 50 seconds to lead the 
comeback. 

Rosenbaum and Kopplin 
then took over to whittle the 
margin to 50-46 with 15:00 to 
play, but the Panthers man- 
aged to pull their lead back 
to 14 on Whitworth's shooting. 

Another Millsaps' comeback 
effort was paced by Rosen- 
baum who scored eight con- 
secutive points as the Majors 
cut the lead 74-67 with eight 
minutes remaining. The Pan- 
thers again pulled away with 
Whitworth leading the effort 

Whitworth was followed in 
the scoring column by Mike 
Luther with 16, Walter Gar- 
rett with 14 and Doyle New- 
by with 13.

Events Of Past Twelve Months Recalled By Purple And Whites 



What better way can there 
be to review the happenings 
of the past year on a college 
campus than a glance back 
through all the issues of that 
campus newspaper? Well, on 
second thought, probably a 
few things were left out and 
students no doubt could add a 
few personal highlights to 
those recorded for the public 
interest, but following are a 
few of the top events taking 
place from February '65 
through January '66. 

The February 16 Purple and 
White, first of the new semes- 
ter, featured a front page pic- 
ture of Dr. Graves and his 
wife being honored by a fac- 
ulty reception, and also fea- 
tured a rather dreary picture 
of a rather dreary car, Benny 
Stone's lovely black hearse. 
Sportswise, Belhaven was 
downing the Majors' basket- 
ball squad for the mythical 
city championship, Hunting- 
don College was scoring a 41 
point victory over the Majors 
(showing that there is, indeed, 
improvement this year), and 
statistics just released showed 
Ron Husband averaging 11.2 
points per game and 9.2 re- 
bounds per game to lead in 
both departments. IDEAS & 
OPINIONS advocated placing 
a clock in the language labs 
while an editorial criticized 
the Decell Lectureship Pro- 
gram. 

The following week found 
the entire campus buzzing 
from an announcement that 
Millsaps would now maintain 
an open admissions policy. 
Student reaction, as sampled 
by this paper, showed stu- 
dents in favor of the move 
mostly for economical rea- 
sons. The Mississippi Arts 
Festival, headlining pianist 
Van Clibum, was in the news, 
while closer to home, the 
Roach Stompers were creat- 
ing a stir, the Roach Stompers 
being a musical group con- 
sisting of Maggie Furr, Mark 
Matheny, Jo-Jo Ellis, and Bob 
Ridgeway. 

Body - building and figure- 
toning programs were the 
fads of the day, but society 
columnist Emily Compton 
noted with regret that 



"germs" seemed to be taking 
over as students kept the in- 
firmary filled with winter 
colds and worse. Headlining 
editorials for the week were 
endorsement of the open ad- 
missions policy decision, as 
well as a plea for the estab- 
lishment of some form of ath- 
letic scholarships. Meanwhile, 
local artist, musician, and 
photographer H. W. Shankle 
noted in a letter-to-the-editor 
that he planned never to set 
foot on the campus again be- 
cause of the important Board 
of Trustees decision. 

Topping the news as 
related in the March 2 P&W 
was the decision to grant 
Diamond Anniversary Schol- 
arships for leadership, includ- 
ing athletic leadership. The 
Dean's List was announced 
and was 40 per cent lower, in- 
cluding only 110 students aft- 
er officials increased the nec- 
essary point index to 2.25. 
Many Millsaps students, as 
noted in the society column, 
enjoyed the Mardi G r a s 
charms of old New Orleans. 
The Majors' basket bailers 
ended the season on a losing 
note before powerful Hunting- 
don, while Kappa Sigma's in- 
tramural basketball team 
claimed its 37th consecutive 
victory 53-44 over Kappa 
Alpha. It was on-campus en- 
tertainment that IDEAS AND 
OPINIONS was advocating. 

One week later, Tap Day 
was the top news, along with 
the announcement that Lamb- 
da Chi Alpha and Kappa Del- 
ta were the winners of the 
scholarship trophies. Circle K 
was In the process of organ- 
izing a new club at Millsaps. 
The debate team closed its 
season at MSCW. Amuse- 
ments editor Barry McGehee 
revealed the charms of what 
he felt would be a very suc- 
cessful motion picture, The 
Sound of Music. IDEAS AND 
OPINIONS criticized the ad- 
ministration's decision not to 
allow students any Easter 
holidays, while parking prob- 
lems merited editorial discus- 
sion. The Independents broke 
a deadlock for first place in 
women's intramural basket- 
ball competition with a vic- 



tory over Kappa Delta. 

The March 16 issue of the 
Purple and White headlined 
the opening of Becket, star- 
ring veteran Rex Stalling^ and 
a new talent, Henry "Speedy" 
Chatham, making his first ap- 
pearance on the Millsaps 
stage. John Hailman, Millsaps 
senior, was one of four state 
Woodrow Wilson winners. The 
Independents clinched the 
women's intramural champi- 
onship. One editorial, in light 
of much criticism of our in- 
firmary, praised the work 
done at the infirmary, while 
another editorial criticized the 
school policy regarding ex- 
cused and unexcused ab- 
sences. Political columnist 
Sammy Kernell upheld the 
values of United States for- 
eign aid. 

Sherry Monk and Jerry 
Duck were announced as ori- 
entation co-chairmen in the 
March 23 Purple and White 
which also featured a front- 
page article on the Madrigal 
Singers and Concert Choir 
readying for annual spring 
tours. The Millsaps-Wilson li- 
brary was presented a collec- 
tion of books by the Japan 
Society of New York. Guest 
reviewer Thomas Mathews 
proclaimed Becket an unqual- 
ified hit. In athletics, Kappa 
Sigma came from behind to 
score a 74-62 win over Kappa 
Alpha behind George William- 
son's 22 points to again win 
the men's intramural basket- 
ball crown, while our tennis 
club started the season on the 
wrong foot, losing 6-3 to pow- 
erful Southern Mississippi. 
IDEAS AND OPINIONS ex- 
pressed the desire that chapel 
audience be able to hear the 
Millsaps choirs. 

"The Milk Train Doesn't 
Stop Here Anymore" was the 
top attraction of the week on 
campus as noted by the April 
13 issue of the Purple and 
White, first issue following 
spring holidays and also the 
first issue of tabloid size. 
Larry Adams and Rod Bart- 
lett were preparing for a 
tight SEB presidency elec- 
tion, while vice - presidential 
candidates Jerry Duck, Fred- 
die Davis, Ron Goodbread, 




and Kennedy Quick all were 
also busy campaigning. 
Jeanne Burnet and Polly 
Dement were unopposed. One 
letter - to . the - editor dis- 
cussed the poor conditions 
existing at Rust College, an- 
other criticized faculty qual- 
ity, and still another agreed 
with a P&W editorial that 
student newspapers generally 
did not have enough funds to 
put out a representative pa- 
per. Pi Kappa Alpha and 
Kappa Delta were the Chi 
Omega Song Fest winners, 
Stylus was released at the 
Fine Arts Festival which fea- 
tured readings by Susan 
Finch, Norma Craig, Rex 
Stallings, Pat Galloway, and 
Barry McGehee, Bobby 
Luckett was named basket- 
ball MVP, and the tennis 
team slaughtered "bumbling 
Belhaven" 8-1. 

Adams, Duck, Dement, and 
Burnet were announced as 
election winners in the next 
P&W of April 22 which was 
headlined by the announce- 
ment that campus leaders 
from all over the state would 
visit Millsaps for the spring 
meeting of Mississippi Inter- 
collegiate Council. Jeanne 
Burnet was in charge of the 
meeting. Labor relations were 



discussed in economics 
classes as Claude Ramsey 
and Mr. Robert Majors pre- 
sented labor and manage- 
ments views, respectively, to 
Mr. Nicholas* economics 
classes. Guest reviewer 
Charles Swoope praised Joan 
Baez* concert at Tougaloo, 
while in athletics Kappa 
Alpha was in first place in 
softball play, Tom Kopplin 
and Frank Holifield paced a 
golf win over Delta State, 
Phil Goodyear won three 
events in the Louisiana Tech 
Archery Tournament, and the 
baseballers defeated Lake- 
land (Wisconsin) for their 
first win in a 1-7 record. 

Jim G a b b e r t was an- 
nounced Major Facts editor 
in the April 27 issue. Mac 
Heard was a second place 
winner in the Southern Lit- 
erary Festival. Carroll 
Gartin, lieutenant governor of 
Mississippi, was scheduled to 
be the week's chapel speak- 
er. The Troubadours, Maggie 
Furr, Ford Williams, Lynn 
Krutz, and Freddie Davis ap- 
peared in a spring talent 
show at Mississippi College. 
"Milk Train" was pro- 
nounced a success by review- 
er McGehee, while Sym- 
(Continued on page 7) 




THE MILK TRAIN DOESN'T STOP HERE ANYMORE was 
a Millsaps Players* feature during the past year. Pat Galloway, 
left, and Lisa Jordan were among: the stars. 




THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS will be remembered as the time when Kappa Sigma's sensa- 
tional basketball winning streak was finally halted after 44 victories. However, the Sigs lost 
more than just a ball game; player Rod Bartlett here has lost a i 
squad goes down on their knees in search of the lens. 



A SUCCESSFUL DEBATE SEASON was almost automatic. 
Among the outstanding debaters last year were Sammy Kernell, 
left, and Ronald Goodbread, center, who were coached by 
Mr. Edward M. Collins, Jr., right, now at Duke University.

Events Of Past Twelve Months Recalled By Purple And Whites 



(Continued from page 6) 
posium guest columnist Jim- 
my Waide discussed our place 
in history. Biggest discussion 
of the week was over the pro- 
posed Human Relations Coun- 
cil which the P&W spoke out 
against as being not needed 
at Millsaps. Belhaven edged 
our baseballers 4-3, but the 
tennis team whipped the Clan 
again. Kappa Alpha beat the 
Sigs in softball play among 
the men and led by one game 
over the Independents, while 
in women's softball, the Chi 
O's scored a 15-2 win over 
the Zetas and led the stand- 
ings. 

The May 4 issue found news 
hidden somewhere beyond the 
reaches of the paper staff- 
society editor Compton had 
the right idea when she re- 
marked that "spring fever" 
had taken hold. Probably the 
prettiest picture of the year 
graced page one as Pat Gallo- 
way, Pat Walker, and Emily 
Compton relaxed in the sun, 
a sure sign of spring. "Mr. 
Roberts" was all set for pro- 
duction by the Millsaps Play- 
ers, starring Rex Stallings, 
Eugene Countiss, George Mor- 
rison, and John Wilkerson. 
Chapelbehaviour was 
denounced in a letter-to-the- 
editor. Chi Omega scored a 
21-1 victory in a one-inning 
game with Phi Mu to wrap 
up the women's softball 
championship, and Freddie 
Davis pleaded before student 
senate that a new ground 
crew sport be halted immedi- 
ately: squirrel shooting. 

Miss Eudora Welty's spring 
reading was noted in the May 
11 P&W. Dr. Evelyn Mills 
Duvall had addressed chapel 
on the subject of marriage. 
Headline mistakes were 
worse than ever. Kappa Alpha 
won the softball champion- 
ship while the Independents 



clinched second place. Jimmy 
Gentry and Tommy Davis 
were the big guns in the KA's 
clinching victory over the 
Pikes. The track team set a 
school record in the distance 
medley at Southwestern, the 
netsmen whipped Henderson 
State and, yes indeed, O 1 e 
Miss, but Belhaven continued 
to hold a jinx over the base- 
ball nine, winning again 4-1. 

Dean Christmas was hon- 
ored by the Bobashela which 
dedicated the 1964-55 year- 
book to him in chapel cere- 
monies the week of the final 
Purple and White of the 
spring. Jimmy Gentry was 
elected president of the senior 
class for the coming year, 
Bill Mayfield was unopposed 
for the junior class presiden- 
cy, and Mark Matheny won 
the sophomore class top 
office. Several changes in the 
selection of Who's Who In 
America were announced. An- 
nouncement was made of 
plans to destroy the KA man. 
sion in hopes for a new home, 
a union reception honored re- 
tiring housemother Mrs. Mary 
Fitts of Burton-Galloway, and 
the real star of "Mr. Rob- 
erts" turned out to be an en- 
dearing goat named "Prop- 
erty Of." Hap Wheeler, Tom- 
my McDaniel, Paul Richard- 
son, Kelsey Van Every, Vic 
Yawn, and Robert Smith 
paced a baseball win over St. 
Bernard, the netsmen finished 
with an impressive 6-4 record 
while golfers finished 3-4. 

After three months' de- 
served vacation, students re- 
turning to campus were 
greeted by a special orienta- 
tion Purple and White which 
became almost a collectors* 
item when Ronald Goodbread 
was introduced to the read- 
ing public by his Symposium 
feature: "Freshman's Handy- 
Dandy Guide To Millsaps Col- 



lege Politics." Amusements 
editor McGehee praised the 
acting work of Peter O'Toole 
in "Lord Jim" and "What's 
New Pussycat." Millsaps' 
first admissions counselors 
were announced as recent 
graduates Sam Cole and 
Gerald Jacks. Phil Goodyear 
was selected Ail-American in 
collegiate archery. Only six 
lettermen returned from last 
year's winless football team, 
but prospects were reported 
as brighter once tfrie team got 
used to playing together. 

146 students were included 
on the Dean's List, announced 
in the September 30 P&W— 
the list, this time, included 
all students with 2.20 indexes 
and above. The value of ex- 
tra - curricular activities was 
explained in editorial fashion, 
while IDEAS AND OPINIONS 
urged students to support the 
football team. The Major foot- 
ballers lost 32-0 and 19-0 to 
Austin and Sewanee to open 
the season. Sororities an- 
nounced a list of 89 pledges 
for the year. Bee Bettcher, 
Connie Milonas, Penny 
Sanders, and Susie Nicholas 
were elected cheerleaders in 
a special election. 

The October 7 P&W was 
headlined by the announce- 
ment that two new dormitor- 
ies would be built on the Mill- 
saps campus for occupancy 
at the beginning of the 1966-67 
school year. Gus Rushing was 
chosen to head the freshman 
class, while Millsaps' fresh- 
man class of 1964-65 was hon- 
ored as being in the top one 
per-cent in the nation among 
colleges whose students had 
taken ACT tests in high 
school. School spirit was pro- 
nounced on the rise by an edi- 
torial, while a letter-to-the- 
editor criticized the by-this- 
time famous Mr. Goodbread 
for his Symposium policies. 




Seventy-seven pledges were 
announced by the four fra- 
ternities, the Millsaps band 
was reorganized and set two 
world records, and Pop King, 
longtime director of the Mill- 
saps Singers, was honored by 
a reception in the Student Un- 
ion. Guest reviewer Gary 
Carson praised "Zorba the 
Greek" as an outstanding mo- 
tion picture. 

Attorney General Joe Pat- 
terson was chapel speaker the 
week of the October 14 P&W. 
"The Crucible" was an- 
nounced to be the first Play- 
ers' production of the new 
season, and the cast chosen. 
The football team lost a 10-7 
heartbreaker to undefeated 
Georgetown, but spirits were 
still high and a large crowd 
expected to follow the squad 
to Memphis for the big game 
with Southwestern the follow- 
ing week. The smallest paper 
of the year was produced as 
the editor and staff were 
downed with colds, a problem 
besetting many students that 
week. IDEAS AND OPIN- 
IONS suggested cheerleaders 
should be financed on road 
football games. 

After two years of trying, 



the October 21 Purple and 
White proudly proclaimed the 
joyous news : we won. The 
Majors had tripped South- 
western 21-12 behind the run- 
ning of Danny Neely and Jer- 
ry Husky and the defensive 
work of Tirnmie Millis plus a 
tremendous squad effort. Two 
students in letters-to-the-edi- 
tor defended chapel remarks 
made by Attorney General 
Patterson which the previous 
week had been criticized in 
another letter. Society 
columnist Compton revealed 
her disappointment at not 
coming home from the state 
fair with a Teddy Bear, while 
Symposium columnist Good- 
bread concerned himself with 
the American (Football) 
Scholar. Tommy Woolridge 
was chosen band captain, and 
band members marveled at 
being able to go all the way 
to Memphis and back without 
losing Reid Bangham. Bishop 
Gerald Kennedy of Los An- 
geles was chapel speaker. 
Rising prices of cafeteria food 
were criticized by IDEAS & 
OPINIONS.

homecoming edition of the 
Purple and White which 
pondered the question: who 
would be homecoming queen? 
The Lambda Chi's and KD's 
repeated as scholarship 
trophy winners, announced 
during Tap Day activities. The 
football squad trounced Mary- 
ville for the first home field 
win since 1963. Student sen- 
ate discussed hopes lor an 
off - campus homecoming 
dance which appeared headed 
for rejection by the adminis- 
tration. 'The Crucible' 1 was 
in the middle of a four-night 
run by the Players. Circle K 
inducted seventeen new mem- 
bers into its first full year of 
service. The Chi O's and Phi 
MU's were both undefeated 
in women's intramural volley- 



Large Trust Fund 

A $25,000 trust fund has 
been established in favor of 
Millsaps College by Mrs. R. 
L. Ezelle, of Jackson. 

The trust will be adminis- 
tered by Robert L. Ezelle, Jr., 
and Fred J. Ezelle, of Jack- 
son, sons of the donor and 
alumni of Millsaps. Proceeds 
of the trust will be unrestrict- 
ed for use by the College. 

The Ezelle family has been 
a guiding force in the affairs 



ball play. But biggest news of 
the week had to be in the 
form of a disappointment (to 
students, anyway): an an- 
nounced increase of $300 per- 
year in tuition which was 
cited editorially as being un- 
wanted but necessary for 
Millsaps. 

Selection of Kathy Hymers 
as homecoming queen was 
the big news proclaimed by 
the November 11 P&W. Dot 
Boswell, Emily C o m p t o n, 
Susan Duquette, and Penny 
Sanders were also in the 
court. High School Day was 
scheduled for November 20. 
Robert E. Blount was recog- 
nized as Alumnus-of-the-Year. 
The KA's, sportswise, were 
the winners in volleyball com- 
petition, clinching the cham- 
pionship with a victory over 



Is Established 

of Millsaps for many years. 
Mrs. Ezelle's husband, who 
died in 1962, was a member 
of the Board of Trustees for 
22 years, serving as president 
of the Board for eight of 
them. 

Ezelle Hall, one of the 
men's dormitories, was 
named in his honor at its 
opening in 1958. A portrait of 
Mr. Ezelle hangs in the lobby 
of the building. 



the Sigs. Kappa Alpha also 
won first place in the annual 
spirit display contest during 
homecoming day proceed- 
ings. Frederic Balazs, world- 
famous violinist, was sched- 
uled to give a concert in the 
Christian Center auditorium. 

High School Day was in the 
air as the special November 
19 issue went to press featur- 
ing a picture of Mike Moore, 
Carolyn Wallace, Lloyd Wag- 
ner, Adrienne Doss, Richard 
Bundy, and Diane McLemore 
making plans for the day's 
activities. Ron Goodbread 
shifted his talents away from 
the P&W pages long enough 
to journey to Oklahoma where 
the debate squad opened its 
season and he won first place 
in oratory. A letter-to-t h e- 
editor criticized the P&W for 
too many grammatical er- 
rors, "The Gum Ball 
Machine" was the topic of 
Symposium, and Retrospect 
looked ahead rather than 
back . . . ahead to the next 
Millsaps Players production 
of "Look Back in Anger" set 
for early December. Stylus, 
under the editorship of James 
Golden and business manager 
Susan Finch, was put on sale, 
and at the same time editor 
Betsy Stone and business 
manager Ronnie Dodson set 
forth plans for the Bobashela. 
The football team closed out 
a 2-6 season with a loss to

RETURN REQUESTED 



Ouachita, while the biggest 
athletic news of the week was 
the announcement that Mill- 
saps was now a member in 
the NCAA. 

From then on, after 
Thanksgiving, all happenings 
are no doubt fresh on every- 
one's mind, but among the 
highlights were the selection 
of 16 students to Who's Who 
In American Colleges and 
Universities, Youth Congress 
and MIC conventions to which 
Millsaps delegations traveled, 
the annual presentations of 
♦The Messiah* ! and "Feast of 
Carols" by the Music Depart- 
ment, the election of Kathy 
Hymers as best-dressed coed, 
the volleyball triumph of the 
Independents in a tight race 
in women's intramural play, 
winning over the KD's in a 
playoff, the men's intramural 
basketball victory of Kappa 
Alpha over Kappa Sigma, 
breaking a 44-game winning 
streak built up over the 
years by the latter, the adop- 
tion of a student senate reso- 
lution supporting Viet Nam 
policy, the presentation of 
'♦Look Back In Anger," the 
proposals for curriculum and 
calendar changes for the com- 
ing years at Millsaps, an 
opening game basketball vic- 
tory over Huntingdon, the 
holding of the Millsaps Invi- 
tational Debate Tournament, 
editorials and columns advo- 



cating renewal of the Missis- 
sippi College-Millsaps rivalry, 
supporting U. S. policy in 
Viet Nam, and other matters, 
the election of Marie Smith 
as new P&W editor. . . . 

Yes, it was a busy year. 
And the coming 12 months 
will be just as busy, probably 
busier. From the Purple and 
White staff, everyone is 
wished the best of good times 
and good grades, and here's 
hoping students give P&W re- 
porters in the future as many 
nice things to write about as 
during the past 12 months. 



Radcliffe College will offer 
to college graduates, men and 
women, a six-week course in 
magazine and book publishing 
for those students interested 
into making a career of these 
fields. Information is avail- 
able in the P & W office 
for those interested. 

Mr. Wells' Sister 
Accepts Position 
In Biology Dept. 

Melony Wells, 1962 graduate 
of Millsaps, will replace Mr. 
Thomas Cochis, who is re- 
signing from the biology de- 
partment next semester. 

Miss Wills, 23, sister of Mr. 
James G. Wells, who teaches 
Sociology here, will teach 
botany, plant physiology, and 
general biology second semes- 
ter and during summer 
school. 

After graduating from Mill- 
saps with a major in biology, 
Miss Wells attended Vander- 
bilt University on an NDEA 
fellowship. There she re- 
ceived her MA degree. 

While at Millsaps, Miss 
Wells was a member of AED 
and Theta Nu Sigma.

Students Can Write 
Pen Friend Abroad 

Students who would like to 
initiate a pen friendship with 
a college student in a foreign 
country may write to Letters 
Abroad, 18 East 60 Street, 
New York, N. Y., 10022. The

Millsaps Students See Politics 
In Action During Wash. Semester 



By DARRELL BUSH 

The philosophy of today's 
youth seems to be "go where 
the action is." And that's ex- 
actly what Sara Ann Wier and 
Ricky Fortenberry did last 
semester. Sara and Ricky 
were Millsaps' participants in 
the Washington Semester Pro- 
gram. 

With activities ranging 
from on-the-scene seminars to 
birdseye viewing of the pro- 
test march against the Viet 
Nam war, Sara and Ricky 
really saw some action. 

Asked why he had wanted 
to go to Washington, Ricky 
answered simply that it 
seemed appealing. He was in- 
terested in government and 
that's where the government 
was. **A picture is worth a 
thousand words," he added, 
explaining that he had wanted 
to see the people that he had 
read about. 

To Sara, the program was 
a great step in realizing her 
ambition of entering political 
science research. She stressed 
her belief that being there did 
so much more than simply 
taking a political science 
course ever could. She later 
discovered there were bits of 
seemingly insignificant yet 



actually important informa- 
tion she picked up here and 
there that will be quite wel- 
come when preparing for her 
comprehensive. 

Shared Seminar 

Sara's semester consisted 
of three courses: Public Opin- 
ion and Propaganda, Parties 
and Elections, and a seminar 
on Group Theory of Poli- 
tics. Ricky had the same 
seminar but the rest of his 
curriculum consisted only of 
a course in constitutional law. 

Thrilled by seeing so many 
dignitaries, yet disillusioned 
by their disinterestedness in 
the students, they both were 
left with mixed feelings about 
their seminars. 

Beginning with an on-the- 
scene course led by Gerald 



There are over 7 million al- 
coholics in our nation, and 
the total number is increas- 
ing by 250,000 annually. To- 
day, one drinker out of seven 
or eight is becoming a slave 
to alcohol; and some experts 
predict that one out of five 
will lose control over his 
drinking. 



Ford, House Republican lead- 
er, they were privileged also 
to see in action the Supreme 
Court with a course in court- 
room work, led by Justice 
Harlan; the judiciary com- 
mittee room, with Congress- 
man Edwin Willis, chairman 
of the House Committee on 
Un-American Activities; the 
Senate, with lectures on this 
institution led by Dr. Charles 
Clapp, legislative assistant to 
Senator Saltonstall; and final- 
ly a lesson in staffing the ex- 
ecutive office with George 
Reedy, special assistant 
to the President. 

Observed Attractions 

Aside from their assigned 
curriculum, Sara and Ricky 
made a point to observe other 
attractions on their own. 
Among these were the Repub- 
lican National Headquarters 
and the Smithsonian Institute. 

Other discoveries included 
the foMowing: many North- 
erners really are misinformed 
about Southerners; marches 
on Washington are more ex- 
citing when observed from 
the center of things; and you 
really can get to know peo- 
ple when you live with two 
of them in a room the size of 
a closet. 



Maurice H. Hall Named 
P&W Business Manager 



By THOMAS MATTHEWS 

Maurice H. Hall, junior 



from Bay Springs, has been 
chosen as the new business 



J 




manager for the Purple and 
White this year. 

Maurice, a pre-law student 
majoring in English, has past 
experience as business mana- 
ger of his high school annual. 
He was also treasurer and 
president of the student body. 

Even while keeping up a 2.4 
index, Maurice has been very 
active here at Millsaps as 
past treasurer of Lambda Chi 
Alpha Fraternity, rush chair- 
man, student senator, mem- 
ber of SEB elections commit- 
tee, vice president of Social 
Science Forum, Chapel 
Choir member, orientation 
counselor, and participant in 
the honors program. 

When asked about his plans 
as the new business manager 
Maurice said, "I am hoping 
to continue and, if possible, 
improve the successful finan- 
cial operation of the Purple 
and White. 

The greatest problem fac- 
ing the business department 
at present is the formation of 
a stable business staff. The 
new business manager said, 
"I invite any student inter- 
ested in helping out (and 
earning an extracurricular 
hour) to see me at any time."

Draft? Relax Awhile, Men 



Anyone want to wager which seg- 
ment of the Millsaps population — male 
or female — will come out on top, gr^de- 
wise, this semester? We place our stakes 
on the men. Uncle Sam and his prickly 
prod, Viet Nam, have accomplished 
what the proverbial hickory stick or a 
deluge of blue cards (the more collegiate 
method) never could. We've ob- 
served some fast, furious studying the 
last few weeks among the males. Con- 
cern now characterizes the previously 
oblivious; intensified competition has re- 
placed previous mere concern. Every- 
one seems to be vying for the top spot 
and for good reason, it would seem. 

The ultimatum has been issued— 
make the grade or polish up the shoot- 
ing arm. According to a recent an- 
nouncement by Lewis B. Hershey, Se- 
lective Service Director, a college stu- 
dent, to qualify for deferment, will have 



to stand near the top among the men in 
his class — top fifty per cent at the end 
of his freshman year; top two-thirds at 
the end of his sophomore year; top 
three-fourths at end of his junior year. 

On the basis of these new laws, it 
would appear that about seventy Mill- 
saps freshmen, thirty sophomores, thirty 
juniors, and the number of seniors who 
fail to score at least seventy on the re- 
quired aptitude tests are definitely Viet- 
Nam-bound. 

However, according to Millsaps Di- 
rector of Admissions, Paul Hardin, this 
is not the case. The college's high na- 
tional academic rating will defintely in- 
fluence how soon Millsaps men are 
called. So it seems that the men can 
breathe a little easier now since they 
are not likely to be effected, at least for 
awhile, by the new draft laws. 



Incident Not Typical 



A bottle was recently hurled through 
a window of one of the men's dorms, 
barely missing one of our Negro stu- 
dents. Who did it? No one knows, but 
such acts show immaturity and a lack 
of respect for oneself, as well as one's 
fellows and the college. While holding to 
the view that no self-appointed commit- 
tee could have prevented it, we abhor 



such acts. 

However, we definitely feel that the 
incident, the first this year, represents 
the attitude of an extremely small mi- 
nority on the Millsaps campus. Millsaps 
students as a whole deserve credit for 
the mature way in which they have 
adapted to the changes brought about by 
the open admissions policy. 





'AJOM. •* 

tnixior 





By MARIE SMITH 
Editor 

Well, we've zipped one-eighth of the way through 
a brand new semester, and the ole brains should be 
pretty well cranked up and raring to go again. (It 
seems that way anyway, doesn't it?) 



There are lots of new things 
around the 'Saps besides the 
semester — some new students, 
a new teacher or so, Batman 
movies, and we certainly 
can't forget the Purple and 
White staff. But most every- 
one who reads the paper 
knows by now that the P & W 
staff is new, which brings me 
to my first topic of the day. 

We encourage everyone to 
read the P & W this semes- 
ter. There's just no telling 
what kind of benefits can ac- 
crue from the aforementioned 
endeavor. Even if you fail to 
find heaps of things to en- 
thrall you, it may at least 
keep you out of trouble. Now 
lest that statement be mis- 
construed, let me cite an il- 
lustration—there's the case of 
the unfortunate senior who, 
upon being asked if he had 
finally passed his Junior Pro- 
ficiency Exam, replied, "My 
what!" He shoulda* read his 
P & W. 

But don't just read the 
paper, criticize it. Not in the 
dark, forbidden recesses of 
the grill*, the passion pit, or 
the dorm, but by contacting a 
member of the staff. And 
contributions are equally wel- 
come. So help! We've placed a 
purple and white Purple and 
White mail box beside the 
rack in the student union lob- 
by. And PLEASE let's use it. 
(Here I must slip in a note of 
thanks to my daddy for all 
the work he put into con- 
structing the box.) Organiza- 
tion presidents and program 
chairmen: when you elect 
officers, schedule a speaker, 
or have a special program,, 
please drop us a note. Mill- 
saps community at large: 
when you happen to be lurk- 
ing around in the lobby or just 
sauntering through, how 
about dropping in a letter-to- 
the-editor, a suggestion, or 
even a little hello-type note. 
We just LOVE to get mail!

Ellington To Re-Run 

Speaking of news, we hear 
that Buford Ellington finally 
succumbed to the fervent 
pleas of his fellow Ten- 
ncsseans and returned to the 
state to run for governor 
again. Ellington, a Millsaps 
alumnus, was director of the 
Office of Emergency Plan- 
ning in Washington, you may 
remember that he addressed 
the student body in chapel, 
January 6, while in Jackson 
to be initiated into ODK as 
an honorary member. 
Sugar Shaker Game 
Is it wishful thinking, or is 
the coffee in the grill really 
improving? Speaking of 
the griH, several inmates 
have evidently instituted 
a coH ege version of the 
childhood game, Button, But- 
ton—Who's Got the Button? 
Only in the Millsaps grill it's 
Sugar Shaker, Sugar Shaker, 
etc., etc. (Whew! That's a 
tongue twister! Try saying the 
whole thing.) The trouble 
seems to lie in the fact that 
Acy and the gang are always 
having to hide the sugar 
shakers from the "kids" who 
persist on having sugar fights 
or building sugar mountains in 
the grill (the same goes for 
salt and pepper). No wonder 
the tuition had to go up $300 
a year! For the benefit of such 
culprits, we have but one 
thing to say — Beware! The 
rest of the college c o m- 
munity might soon get tired 
of having to use detective de- 
vices to track down sugar, 
salt, and pepper shakes, and 
one day put the zot to you. 
(Whatever that is.) 

With Lights Even! 
Ole Quickdraw Worthy, oth- 
erwise known as the "mighty 
nightwatchman," had the 
shock of his life Jan. 25 when 
he walked into the "passion 
pit" and found five couples 
(toys and girls) . . . study- 
books, even! What's 
were doing it with

SYMPOSIUM 



By RONALD GOODBREAD 
Political Editor 

February 6-12 was National 
Electric Week, coinciding 
with the birthdate of Thomas 
Alva Edison, who, I was 
once told, invented the light 
bulb so he wouldn't have to 
watch TV in the dark. The 
following week P. T. Bridge- 
port invented a place to plug 
it in. Electric things seem to 
have invaded the Millsaps 
campus these days, rang- 
ing from genuine light bulbs 
in the shower rooms of Bur- 
ton Hall to the new Millsaps 
College Computer Complex in 
the basement of Murrah Hall 
which is under the capable su- 
pervision of Ronnie Davis and 
Mr. Livesay. 

The new computer sits down 
there and hums with self-sat- 
isfaction and turns out the 
names of prospective stu- 
dents and alumni alike and 
whistles at Ann Stephenson 
when she walks by, realizing 
with Shakespeare's Hamlet, 
that, 'There's an infinite des- 
tiny that shapes our ends." 
It is really a quite impres- 
sive affair. I like to call it 
the Electric Millsaps Machine 
since it is doing everything 
that it once took standing in 
line at registration for three 
hours to do. A lot of changes 
have been made at Millsaps 
since our "Uncle Ben" came, 
not the least of which has 
been the upgrading of the so- 
cial life of this academic 
community. 

Great Society 

It just seems nicer to be 
here these days. Oh, the so- 
cial groups are about the same 
except perhaps that soon we 
will have to endure a bunch of 
pledges entering the Great So- 
ciety at last as they go 
through initiation. I have long 
contended that there are few 
things more insufferable than 
a p 1 e d g e freshly-turned-ac- 
tive. But be that as it may, 
every guy is entitled to his 
own kick. I remember how 
I felt when I got my Weblos 
badge in the cub scouts— but 
I outgrew even that after a 
while. Oh, aren't we getting 
sarcastic! I'm sorry. But the 
theme this week is electricity 
and some must expect to get 
shocked. 



The Electric Millsaps 
chine let most of the original 
flock back into the pen for 
second semester, but we lost 
a few black sheep to the Ole 
Miss Day School and other 
We gained a 



good many new sheep, how- 
ever, to be guided by some of 
our old goats on the faculty. 
I might warn some of our 
more "liberal" students along 
this line that when you lie 
down with goats you get up 
with fleas— or is it dogs? At 
any rate you can't come out 
of Jack Mac's smelling like a 
rose. "The w a g e s of sin is 
pretty cheap." 

Questions A'bubbling 
For those of you who are 
new here you will learn after 
three or four of these things 
that all this double talk 
means what you want it to 
mean so I encourage you to 
read on— it's good practice. 
Just so you won't miss out on 
anything much, some of the 
old problems are still with 
us from last semester. Those 
eternal questions of life re- 



main churning and a - bub- 
bling in our hearts. Will Eu- 
gene Countiss get through 
sophomore literature? Does 
Pat Murphree really wear a 
wig? How many shaves does 
Mike Staiano really get from 
his machet? Will the girls in 
band's geometry class at Pro- 
Ronnie "The Rock" Hus- 
vine High School be able to 
stand all that charm for a 
whole semester? I thought 
Goodbread was gonna quit 
writing this semester! Oh Ye 
of little faith. 

Perhaps the Machine could 
answer all these questions 
and provide a better solution. 
One thing it could tell us is 
this: things get tougher sec- 
ond semester. When that 
sleepy fragrance of spring- 
time freshness descends upon 
Methodist Hill the responsi- 
bilities of school work fly out 
the window like a language 
major going to lab. Second se- 
mester is longer by three 
days (115-112) and there are 
not as many breaks for holi- 
days as there were first se- 
mester. But we all look for- 
ward to those glorious spring 
holidays the Administration 
so graciously bestows upon us 
—all three of them. The hot 
air in chapel will be ampli- 
fied by the weather of late 
spring and the empty seats 
will reach their peak in num- 
ber long about the time of 
the Decell Lecture Series. If 
we could get some of the 
men who were campused last 
semester for drinking in the 
dorm we could place them in 
the balcony and all the wind 
they are sucking by now 



would create a favorable 
breeze which might make 
things a little more bearable. 

It might be amusing here 
to make a few predictions 
for second semester. Your 
humble scribe picks the fol- 
lowing events to take place: 

The GDI's will win intra- 
mural softball this year hing- 
ing upon the fact that they 
lost Speedy Chatham to the 
KA's at third base. 

Drury For President 

Bill Drury will run for the 
Presidency of the SEB and 
lose by one vote because he 
was too shy to ask the girl at 
the polling booth for a ballot. 
Ma Price will win a game 
of solitaire and then find out 
she was using her marked 
deck. 

Jim Carroll will wake up 
one morning and find to his 
great astoundment that for 
one day he did not get any 
better looking than he was 
the day before. 

The Phi MU house will burn 
down and the KA's will make 
the long awaited announce- 
ment that they are almost 
ready to build on their new 
house — just one more year — 
and they will again have a 
record pledge class. 

The Pikes will win song fest 
again based on the fact that 
a good many of them are in- 
nately blessed with a strange 
humming ability. 

Jean Nicholson will be elect- 
ed LLOA's "Goddess of the 
Second Eon." 

Mrs. McMullan will make a 
hopeless attempt to wipe out 
the SYMPOSIUM editor on 
his comprehensive and find to 
her amazement that he is not 



totally stupid. 

Cox On Two Legs 

Someone will steal the 
desk out of Dr. Cox's philoso- 
phy class and he will lecture 
the entire period standing on 
two legs! 

Ah, enough, enough. 

Last semester, in closing, 
was an "almost" semester. 
The 'Saps almost had a grati- 
fying football season. A good 
many pledges almost made 
their grades. Quite a few 
things came close to happen- 
ing. But coming close when 
the competition is rough does 
not do the job. Ask Richard 
Nixon. This semester many 
of us must face up to the facts 
that we are in competition 
with people in this academic 
community who are vastly su- 
perior students. This is why 
the narrow margin makes the 
difference. This is why the 
pressure is on the student at 
every test and every class 
meeting. The sooner we real- 
ize this the better. College is 
not preparation for life; col- 
lege is life. If you can meet 
the challenges of the fast- 
moving highly competitive 
academic life of Millsaps Col- 
lege, when you leave you will 
be able to cope with almost 
every situation in your field. 
And completely — not just 
coming close. I asked the 
Millsaps Machine about this 
and after a few thousand 
cards ripped through its in- 
sides it explained life here in 
one sentence: "Close only 
counts in horseshoes — or in a 
slo v dance with Zoe An- 
dre vs."

View From The Labyrinth: Creative Language Lab 101 

Aha! Perhaps If s Not Such A Curse 



A new semester has started, 
and some of you, beginning 
your second semester in one 
of those heinous required lan- 
guage courses, may have dis- 
covered already the appalling 
fact that language lab does 
count. Yes, some members 
of the language departments 
actually sit around plotting 
methods of trapping their stu- 
dents in their own apathy. 
And so, feeling victimized, we 
troop dutifully back to that 
welter of pushbuttons and 
broken tapes, hoping that the 
radio station is being received 
loud and clear today. 

But is it really such a chore 
and curse to go to language 
lab? The fact of the matter 
is, heretical though it may 
sound, that language lab can 
actually be useful— grade wise. 
The whole idea of language 
laboratory was developed as 
an aid to the student in the 
form of an adjunct to the fair- 
ly "new" idea of oral-aural 
language teaching. This meth- 
od of teaching assumes that 
repetition of expressions in 
context will drive them into 
the weary brains of unwilling 
language students — correct 
usage without effort. Well, 
that's not strictly true, as 
educators have been finding 
out, and the old familiar vo- 
cabulary lists are still an in- 
tegral part of language study 



and must be memorized. 
Sound It Out 

Aha! you say— then lab is 
bound to be useless. Aha! I 
say — it's not. Remember the 
olden days when you learned 
to spell? Remember those 
endless commands to "sound 
it out"? Now remember how 
many words you have in your 
English vocabulary and 
whether you remember ever 
having learned to spell any of 
them. Unless you were one of 
that poor victimized genera- 
tion that learned to spell with 
flash cards, I'm sure you 
can't remember. When you 
hear an unfamiliar word in 
English, you spell it the way 
it sounds. 

Foreign Tongues 

And that's the way it should 
be with foreign tongues. You 
are familiar with those silly 
pronunciation tapes and the 
embarrassment of pronounc- 
ing those sounds aloud. But 
I'm sure you don't realize 
that if you knew how your 
foreign language sounded, 
you'd be able to avoid those 
nasty little spelling errors 
that can flunk you: almost 
any language is more consis- 
tent in spelling than Eng- 
lish. And as for dictation— it's 
possible to fail on that angle 
alone, with certain teachers. 
And rightly so: you can know 
all the grammar in the world 



language. 

So if your parents have 
been screaming because that 
F in your required foreign 
language is threatening to 
keep you from graduating, or 
if it's the last straw that has 



you on the dean's other list, 
go to language lab regularly 
and work, and your grade can 
be expected to rise accord- 
ingly. Besides, the answers to 
the questions in the lessons 
are on the tapes.

Gerald Lord, bass-baritone, 
will be presented in a senior 
voice recital Tuesday eve- 
ning, February 22, in the 
Christian Center Auditorium 
at 8:00 p.m. 

Lord, a Jackson senior po- 
litical science and music ma- 
jor, is completing his fourth 
year of study under Richard 
Alderson, assistant professor 
of music. 

Accompanist will be Polly 
Gatlin, sophomore piano ma- 
jor from Corinth. 

The program will be as fol- 
lows: Si Mes Vers Avaient 
Des Ailes, Hahn; Das Lied, 
Franck; Mit einer Wasser- 
lilie, Grieg; Der Lindenbaum, 
Schubert; Recitative: For Be- 
hold, Darkness Shall Cover 
The Earth (Messiah), Han-

Songs), Dvorak; Whither 



Must I Wander, Williams; 
The Sally Gardens, arr. Brit- 
ten; Oliver Cromwell, arr. 
Britten. 



P&W Offers 
Send-It-IIomr 

Service 

Millsaps students: for a 
mere $1.00 the new staff will 
send the Purple and White 
home every week during the 
semester to your favorite 
mother, your best girl, aunt, 
grandfather, sister, great-un- 
cle, or parakeet. You name 
it. 

Each student who would 
like to subscribe for someone, 
please drop a note with the 
name and address in the Pur- 
ple and White mail box in 
the Student Union lobby. 

The paper would make a 
great gift for the home folks, 
and for those pets which can 
not read. . .it has many other 
uses, too. So order today. 



Past P&W's Prepared For Binding 



Millions of tiny particles of 
dust that had been nestling 
securely on the shelves of the 
P&W were sent scampering 
away Feb. 3, under attack by 
a regiment of P & W staffers 
armed with brooms, dust 
rags, and elbow grease. 

A mountain of old newspa- 
pers and copy met a similar 
fate as the new staff discard- 
ed and sorted past issues of 
the P&W, saving only sev- 
eral issues of the very old 
ones and a moderate-sized 
stack of the more recent ones. 
All issues dating back to 1959 
are being prepared for 
binding. 

Anyone who would like to 



see the eighth wonder of the 
world — a clean P&W office 
— had better do it right away. 
Reliable sources predict that 
it won't last long. 



Keys Needed 

Any ex-P&W staffer who 
happens to have a key to 
the office lying around may 
contribute it to a very 
worthy cause — the Purple 
and White editor. Such 
contributions, she said, will 
save a great deal of time 
and a few 



Activities 
Cards Needed 

ODK President, Jim Gab- 
bert, has urged all sopho- 
mores, juniors, and seniors to 
submit an activities card 
during the next few days. Stu- 
dents should take a card 
from the stack on the counter 
in the bookstore, he said. 
The card must be filled out, 
and replaced on the bottom 
of the stack. The deadline is 
Wednesday, February 23. 

The cards will be used by 
honoraries for the purpose of 
electing new members and 
also by a joint faculty-student 
committee that will draw up 
a preliminary list of candi- 
dates to be considered next 
year for Who's Who Among 
Students In American Col- 
leges and Universities. 



Draft Poll Registers 
46 Per Cent Against 



In a student poll taken by 
the Purple and White Thurs- 
day on the conscription bill 
voters registered 46 per cent 
against conscription, 54 for it. 
Only 39 Votes 

Only 39 students voted, a 
small percentage of the stu- 
dent body, and by that token 
the poll is likely to be an un- 
true picture. As always, the 
possibility of a stronger nega- 
tive than a positive interest 
may have governed the ratio 
of yes and no votes. 

Asked whether he favored 
U. S. entry in the war on the 
side of England the student 
answered 92 per cent against 
war. Answering the same 
question of war with Japan 
he registered the same ma- 
jority against war. 

Aid Short Of War 

The poll showed a 65 per 



cent majority in favor of eco- 
nomic aid to Britain short of 
war. 

Registering a 77 per cent 
majority of men students with 
the opinion that they would 
serve in the armed forces of 
the U.S. if called for conscrip- 
tion the poll showed an over- 
large percentage of conscien- 
tious objectors — 23 per cent. 
Only 60 per cent said they 
would serve if drafted, a fig- 
ure likely to change once they 
allow themselves to be draft- 
ed. 77 per cent showed will- 
ingness to serve in the U.S. 
and its possessions. 

On the question, "If you 
conscientiously object to mili- 
tary service, will you accept 
noncombatant service ?" 60 
per cent gave no answer, 20 
per cent answered yes and 
12 per cent said no. 




WUS Rep Asks 
For Participation 

Millsaps was urged last 
week to participate more ac- 
tively in the international 
community of universities by 
a campus representative of 
the World University Service 
(WUS). 

Susan Manaker of Balti- 
more, Md., told campus lead- 
ers during a swing through 
the South that Millsaps stu- 
dents can do this by more ac- 
tive involvement with WUS. 

WUS is a voluntary asso- 
ciation of students and pro- 
fessors in over 50 countries, 
Canada and other NATO and 
SEATO nations, working for 
the material and intellectual 
advancement of the world 
university service. 

"The WUS program relies 
on the basis of self-help in 
which the student-to-student 
aid is used only in cases of 
dire need," Miss Munaker 
said. "When this need is ap- 
parent the money is given 
after the university itself sup- 
plies at least 50 percent of the 
amount needed." 

Miss Munaker urged that 
the WUS drive be co-spon- 
sored by the Christian Coun- 
cil and SEB. Christian Coun- 
cil, whose president is Jerry 
Pittigrew, agreed to co-spon- 
sor the activities. Student 
Senate, however, voted Tues- 
day night to endorse but not 
co-sponsor the drive. 



Q. What President of the 
U.S. wore the biggest hat? 

A. It's easy, the one with 
the biggest head. 

(Now don't cringe, that's a 
direct quote from one of the 
campus' most beloved heroes, 
the junior partner of the Dy- 
namic Duo, BOY WONDER.) 



THE LATEST AND GREATEST— The Dynamic Duo readies 
for action against the latest of dastardly deeds. Batman, Adam 
West, top left, seems poised for any entanglement, while on 
the right, the Caped Crusader and Boy Wonder are comfort- 
ably situated in the Batmobile (which one Millsaper described 
as "having more lives than cats") as they await a call from 
Commissioner Gordon telling them of a new outbreak in crime — 
K. G. Byrd or Zelda the Great, perhaps. 



Two top hits on the Mill- 
saps juke-box in 1941 were 
'This Little Icky Went To 
Town" and "A Boogie-Woogie 
Piano That Won't Wait." 



Speaker Discusses 
Science And Civ. 

By BEVERLY BROOKS 

"Science and Civilization" 
was the topic of the chapel 
address presented last Thurs- 
day by Dr. C. A. MacKenzie. 

Dr. MacKenzie, of the Uni- 
versity of Southwestern Louis- 
iana, questioned the civiliza- 
tion of modern man in regard 
to science. Declining to men- 
tion the extent of civilization 
in Jackson and Millsaps, Dr. 
MacKenzie observed that we 
often judge our civilization by 
modern developments in sci- 
ence, especially in the field 
of space exploration. 

Raising the question of why 
we are so anxious to explore 
outer space, Dr. MacKenzie 
compared that desire to why 
mountain climbers climb a 
mountain. Why? Because it is 
there. 

The speaker said that edu- 
cation is the most important, 
the most expensive element in 
the advancement of civiliza- 

re- 
civ- 



Dr. T. L. Lewis was presi- 
dent of the Millsaps student 
body in 1951.

'Round Tlie Campus World

PURPLE & WHITE 



Pa*e 5 



By Lindsay Mercer 
Exchange Editor 
Batman's Campus Heyday 

—With a pop, biff, crunch, 
and zip the comic strip he- 
roes Batman and Robin have 
come to the University of 
Minnesota campus, says, the 
Minnesota Daily. One of the 
men's dorms formed a fan 
club of fifty members with 
membership cards and Bat in- 
signias. The craze has also 
affected athletics. An in- 
tramural basketball team 
called the Batmen appear in 
masks, capes, and shirts with 
Bat insignias. Also The All 
State of Austin Peay State 
College in Clarksdale, Tennes- 
see, reports that college life 
slows to a virtual halt dur- 
ing the "Batman" show. The 
boys crowd the dorm lobbies 
and the girls fume as they 
wait for the end of the show 
and the boys' return to cam- 
pus life. At Mississippi State 
University, says The Reflec- 
tor, a fan club has emerged 
— SADBAR (Society advocat- 
ing Devotion to Batman And 
Robin). 

Karate Craze— The Student 
Printz of the University of 
Southern Mississippi relates 
the interest of some of the 
students in karate — the most 
devastating and effective 
method of unarmed self-de- 
fense in the world today. The 
central ingredient for any 
would-be student of the art is 
dedication. The belt system 
is used to indicate degrees of 
advancement in karate. A be- 
ginner is presented with a 
white belt, which is followed 
in order by a striped belt, an 
orange, a green, a purple, a 
brown, and finally a black. 
There are then several 
degrees of black belts which 
can be attained. 

Pepsi To Bond Era— With 
the coming of James Bond, 
the Pepsi generation seems to 
have changed to the Bond era, 
says the South Co lor ad an, Ad- 
ams State College, Alamosa, 
Colorado. James Bond has 
become not only a hero but 
also an idol of imitation. Even 
colognes and after-shave lo- 



tions depict the piercing eyes 
of Bond 007. But what about 
the man who plays James 
Bond — Sean Connery? The 
Scottish-born actor was the 
son of a mill worker. He had 
planned to become a profes- 
sional football player, but in- 
stead diverted his energy to- 
ward acting. Like many Brit- 
ish actors, he started his ca- 
reer acting in Shakespearean 
plays. Connery considers the 
Bond image a burden but 
"one has to live with it." In 
real life, he is not the swash- 
buckling, debonair James 
Bond. 

No Kiss, No Cavity — The 
Reflector of Mississippi State 
University reports that fewer 
cavities come with less kiss- 
ing. Dental researchers at the 
University of Miami have dis- 
covered that tooth decay is a 
highly contagious disease 
rather than a hereditary de- 
fect. One of the researchers 
confirmed that tooth decay 
was caused by certain types 
of mouth bacteria. A person 
will now need to check a pros- 
pective date's dental history 
as well as other vital statis- 
tics. 

Pierced Ears — The rage 
for pierced ears has reached 
the University of Georgia 
campus, according to The 
Red and Black. Why the 
trend toward pierced ears? 
Pierced earrings do not get 
lost; they are comfortable to 
wear; they are fun to collect, 
since they come in all styles 
and sizes; they can be worn 
by women with ear lobes 
which are too small to sup- 
port heavy types of earrings.

Among Millsaps Students 

German Choc Cake Rates Tops; 
Stewed Tomatoes Rate Lowest 



By HELEN PERRY 

If Millsaps students were to 
name their favorite foods, 
lemon icebox pie and Ger- 
man chocolate cake would be 
their choices. 

That is the opinion of Mrs. 
Elmer Russell, food service 
director. 

"Several years ago," she 
says, "a student gave me a 
recipe for German chocolate 
cake, and it has remained 
one of our most popular reci- 
pes." 

She adds that stewed toma- 
toes rank lowest with the 
students. "We don't serve 
them too often," she says, 
"except when a meal needs 
a touch of color." 

Mrs. Russell and Mrs. Jesse 
Smith, a dietician who has 
been at Millsaps since 1939, 
plan the menus together. The 
first shift of ten people come 
to work at 5:30 to prepare 
breakfast. The first shift pre- 
pares dinner with the help of 
the second shift of ten work- 
ers. The second shift also 
fixes supper. 

Scramble 220 E*gs 

Each morning, they use ten 
loaves of bread, scramble 
ten dozen eggs, fry 20 pounds 
of bacon, and fry seven dozen 
eggs. "We fix real eggs for 
breakfast," Mrs. Russell em- 
phasizes. "Students have 
asked us if the eggs are froz- 
en or powdered, but they do 
not realize that fresh eggs do 
not peel." 

As soon as breakfast is 
over, work begins on din- 
ner. Describing a typical noon 
menu, Mrs. Russell says they 
use 240 pork cutlets, 300 serv- 
ings of meat sauce with 
spaghetti, 20 pounds of broc- 
coli, 12 gallons of corn, 2 
bushels of candied yams, and 
400 homemade rolls. They fix 
40 pies daily. 

150 Sloppy Joe's 

A typical supper consists of 
150 sloppy joe sandwiches, 110 
broiled club steaks, and 15 
gallons of vegetable soup for 
two meals. 

Students drink 200 half pints 
of milk daily. "Girls are 
drinking more skim milk," 
she says, "and boys drink the 
most milk, usually sweet 
milk." Due to requests, but- 
termilk is also available.

HRC Program 
Tonight 

The Mississippi Council 
on Human Relations, spon- 
soring a program entitled 
"The Role of Politics in 
Bettering Human Rela- 
tions," will meet February 
17, at the King Edward Ho- 
tel in Jackson. 

The principal address 
will be given at 8:00 p.m. 
by Mr. Charles Percy, Re- 
publican senatorial candi- 
date in Illinois. 

Students in political sci- 
ence, history and law are 
especially urged to attend. 



According to Mrs. Russell, 
only a small number of stu- 
dents eat on the boarding 
plan. Almost every student 
owns a meal ticket and a few 



pay only in cash. 

"I would be glad to help 
the students any time they 
need special diets," Mrs. 
Russell says.

The Kite 

The kite goes up 
And takes a bow. 
The earth pulls its tail, 

And down it comes, 
Wind-blown and torn, 
by Eulabell Hoff, age 10 

Let me wish to everyone a 
belated, hearty "welcome 
back" after semester break. 
The break was a welcome re- 
lief, and I hope everyone re- 
covered from that "wind- 
blown and torn" feeling that 
exams tend to give one. 

Since this is my first time 
to write this society scoop, I 
have one thing to say: I 
do not know how Emily 
Compton zipped around and 
got the information for this 
column (I think sh?. knew 
more football players than I 
do. However. . .) But, I do 
have a plan. I have asked one 
person from each sorority 
and fraternity and an Inde- 
pendent boy and girl to please 
fill me in on the news from 
his particular group. There- 
fore, if something big and 
important gets left out, tell 
whomever of the following 
people you want to: Kathleen 
Huff, Dawn Pittman, Carolyn 
Tabb, Pat Galloway, Marie 
Smith, Ron Goodbread, Ken 
Quick, Eugene Countiss, Gra- 
ham Lewis, or Bill Fields. 

New Students Welcome 

First of all, I'd like to give

Do you wonder what the above conglomeration of 
letters has to do with sports? I too, was surprised when 
I first saw it, so I feel that a word of explanation is 
in order. As you know, Miss Marie Smith is our new 
editor, and it is to her genius that I must attribute 
the credit for this creation. At her suggestion, we of 
the sports department of the 
Purple and White are spon- 
soring a contest. Upon the 
winner of this contest will be 
heaped many desirable riches 
in the form of a prize. At this 
time the prize is as much a 
mystery as the contest, but 
get those entries in today. 
Write down what you think 
the name of this column 
means and give it to Miss 
Smith or me. The contest is 
closed to members of the 
LLOA and Purple and White 
staff and their immediate 
families. 

Batman has seemingly cap- 
tivated the interest of the ma- 
jority of Millsaps students, 
and yet we must compete 
with this popular masked 
marvel and boy wonder Robin 
with a mere sports story. 
With the exception of unusual 
world affairs, this column 
will be strictly limited to 
events of sporting interest to 
you as students of Millsaps 
College. One such happening 
was the Ezelle Third Floor 
East Golden Gloves Invita- 
tional Championship Prize 
Fight. This outstanding event 
took place last week in the 
basement of Ezelle Hall. 
ETFEGGICPF 

David Atwood and Lynn 
McMahan were the promoters 
and sponsorers of this gala 
affair. Their interest in box- 
ing was inherited from their 
fathers who were col- 
legiate boxers. The 

E. T. F. E. G. G. I. C. P. F. 
began in Room 318 Ezelle 
when McMahan brought two 
pair of boxing gloves back 
after semester break. So 
great was the response to this 
sport that the occupants of 
Room 318 decided to sponsor 
a series of matches in the 
arena in the basement of 
Ezelle. 

Tommy Woodridge served 
as timekeeper while Sam 
Rush was the manual bell 
operator. The judges for the 
three - round matches were 
Steve Moore, Erwyn Free- 
man, Speedy Chatham, David 
Atwood, and Bruce Stafford. 

F. A. McMahan, Wayne Fer- 
rell, and Kelsey Van Every 
were referees. 

Featured on the heavy- 
weight card were matches be- 
tween F. A. McMahan, Er- 
wyn Freeman, and "Sugar 
Bear" Beasley. McMahan 
the title with two de- 



cisive victories. Mike Casey 
was defeated by Atwood, and 
Kelsey Van Every won out 
over <4 A-Bomb" Collins. 
"Meat" Ferrell picked on his 
younger roommate George

two rounds. House physician

Halftime Features 
Karate Technique 

By GLENN TURNAGE 
On Tuesday, February 8, 
the special half-time feature 
of the Millsaps - Belhaven 
game was a karate demon- 
stration presented by the Ori- 
ental School of Self-Defense. 
Those taking part in this ex- 
hibition were Gerald Duran, 
and Danny Smith, who showed 
the basic techniques used in 
blocks and kicks: Phil Col- 
lins, a student at Millsaps and 
fourth Kyu and purple belt, 
Mike Lassiter, a Black Belt, 
who showed the technique in 
brickbreaking; Black Belt, 
Bill Chastain, and David 
Mabry, who demonstrated 
two Black Belt forms. 

In addition to the basic 
techniques and joint twisting 
techniques, these men, whose 
karate style is Shudokyn, dis- 
played their skill in defense 
against a person armed with 
a knife and a gun an< 
defense against three men.

match of the evening was be- 
tween David Powers and 
"Ching" Williams. Despite the 
fact that "Ching" couldn't get 
within three feet of Powers, 
he ran circles around him 
with his superior footwork. 
Prentiss Bellue took Speedy 
Chatham in two rounds before 
bowing to undefeated "Puff" 
Upchurch in a split in deci- 
sion. Jimmy Williams and 
Bole Smith displayed the most 
spirit of the night in three of 
the hardest hitting rounds wit-

a draw. 

Throughout the evening ap- 
proximately two hundred peo-

Prof Explains Movement 

'God Is Dead 
For New Man 



P&W Sponsoring 
Crest Contest 



"A new land of man has 
emerged today — a secular 
man, a man for whom God 
is dead because God has no 
meaning in his life." Speak- 
ing before MSM Feb. 7, Mill- 
saps philosophy professor Dr. 
Hughes Cox attempted to in- 
terpret the current God is 
Dead Movement, being propa- 
gated by Dr. Thomas J. J. 
Altizer and his followers. 

Dr. Cox says that since this 
movement denies the ex- 
istence of God, it is contra- 
dictory to call it a "new the- 
ology." He preferred to call 
it a new kind of anthropolo- 
gy — a natural interpretation 
of man, or atheistic human- 
ism, which he said is not 
new. 

Rediscover The Sacred 
The problem actually began 
in the Middle Ages, when hu- 
man life was divided into two 
realms, the sacred and the 
secular. Dr. Cox said that ac- 
cording to Bonhoeffer and Til- 
lich this distinction should 
never have been made and it 
should now be done away with 
or the realm of the sacred 
will continue to retreat and 
eventually disappear. He said 
that the problem calls for a re- 
discovery of the sacred with- 



By LANNY CARLSON 

The Millsaps College Min- 
isterial League heard a pro- 
gram Tuesday night on 
"Working As A Youth Direc- 
tor," presented by Jerry 
Chapman, a sophomore from 
Brandon. The three areas cov- 
ered were preparation, obtain- 
ing a job, and what to do 
once the job is obtained. 

In the area of preparation, 
Jerry emphasized attending 
conferences such as the Con- 
vocation on Recreation held 
each year at Leesburg, Fla. 
He also mentioned the Chris- 
tian Workers School to be 



in the realm of the secular, 
particularly in discovering the 
deep meaning in ordinary 
life and relationships. 

Alluding to the author of the 
controversial book, Honest To 
God, Dr. Cox explained that 
Bishop Robinson says that 
God and the sacred have dis- 
appeared from human life be- 
cause "we have forced them 
into watertight compartments 
apart from where man really 
lives." 

Go Part Way 

Dr. Cox said he could go 
part of the way with Altizer, 
but that the problem of man's 
indifference to the sacred can- 
not be solved by simply de- 
nying God's existence. "How 
can there be a dimension of 
infinite worth in man if there 
is no infinite dimension of re- 
ality? One cannot find the 
sacred in the secular without 
presupposing the existence of 
God." 

The speaker said that the 
real value of the Death of 
God Movement, however, is 
the radical way in which it 
states the problem — "the 
movement overstates the prob- 
lem but in so-doing it makes 
us face up to the situation." 



held at Broadmeadow Meth- 
odist Church, Feb. 20-22, and 
asked those interested in at- 
tending to contact him. The 
meetings will be held Sunday 
afternoon at 7-9:30 Monday 
and Tuesday. There will be no 
charge. 

In the area of obtaining a 
job, Jerry suggested contact-

But Is It Camp? 

If your first reaction, upon 
reading the cartoon caption in 
this issue was, "Is it what?!" 
don't feel like the Lone 
Ranger (to use an heretical 
cliche in this space and Bat- 
man age). The word "camp," 
now being used to describe to- 
day's society, means unde- 
nied, unchallenged ac- 
ceptance. Camp is "in" to- 
day, just as "sharp" was five 
years ago, or "keen" was ten 
years ago, according to 
a columnist in the MSU pa- 
per. The Dynamic Duo is def- 
intely camp. Other examples 
are the James Bond cultism, 
pop art and op (optical) art, 
or anything with emphasis on 
the ridiculous and-or insult- 
ing. An illustrious Millsaps 
Major expressed the charac- 
teristic feature of campism 
when, describing Batman 
movies, he exclaimed, "This 
mess is so corny it's great!" 
Well, to do a little paraphase 
job, see ya next week— same 
bat-day, same bat-paper. 



things as program planning, 
recreation, fund raising, serv- 
ices projects, MYFund, and 
publicity. He emphasized that 
all of these programs should 
be the youths' programs and 
should not merely be some- 
thing "handed down" by the 
youth director. Thus a good 
overall program requires the 
youth director to work closely 
with the teachers, counselors, 
and officers. 

In conclusion, Chapman 
emphasized that the most es- 
sential item in being a suc- 
cessful youth director is to 
"get along with the group." 



Millsaps artists who would 
like to make a lasting con- 
tribution to the college, me- 
morialize their work, and win 
an award may enter the Crest 
Contest being sponsored by 
the Purple and White. The 
purpose of the contest, spon- 
sored in connection with the 
Bobshela, Public Relations 
Office, and Dr. R. H. Moore 
is to obtain a crest which can 
be used on the cover of the 
Bobashela and as the official 
Millsaps College crest. 
Mid-March Is Deadline 

The deadline for submitting 
entries is March 15, but any- 
one planning to draw a crest 
should notify the P & W edi- 
tor, the Bobashela editor, 
Shirley Caldwell in the Public 
Relations Office, or Dr. 
Moore of his intention as soon 
as possible. 

Dr. Moore, the original 
initiator of the drive to obtain 
a Millsaps crest, said the win- 
ning one would be used only 
if it were judged good enough 
to represent the college. "A 
good crest involves a great 
deal of calculation and sym- 
bolism," he said. He offered 
to share his ideas and re- 
search with any interested 
artists. He added that there 
were books on the subject in 
the Jackson Public Library 
and Shirley Caldwell has a 
catalogue of sample crests in 
the Public Relations Office. 



Vocations . . . 

(Continued from page 1) 
The registration fee will be 
five dollars and registration 
must be completed by March 
7. Forms may be obtained 
either in Mr. Anding's office, 
the religious life office, or 
Jack Loflin's office in the 
Methodist Building. Those 
needing transportation should 
contact either Mr. Anding or 
Ministerial League president 
Jerry Pettigrew.

Homecoming Day. He said he 
is willing to offer a very nice

everybody raised "it".) 

NOW! I have a huge, hor- 
rible ugly thing to say: I at- 
tended the Millsaps-Belhaven 
game on February 8, here in 
the Millsaps gym. I really 
couldn't believe the referees 
Could you? Maybe if we didn't 
have to play the referees as 
well as the original, opposing 
team, we would win some 
games. The Millsaps - Belha- 
ven game got to the point of 
being ridiculous. I really 
don't see why we have to 
have that one particular 
referee all the time (and I 
know you know who I mean). 
The next teams we play are 
Huntingdon (there), South- 
western - at - Memphis 
(here), and William Carey 
College (here). I hope we win. 

Well, this is all the trash 
I know. I hope I haven't

"HAPPY VALENTINE'S

Past Youth Director Offers Advice To ML 



Millsaps — Female Seminary? 

The draft, a most vital issue among college students today, 
was also in the spotlight in 1942. An excerpt from an editorial 
in a 1942 issue of the Purple and White makes the following 
prediction: 

"Without doubt the draft will eventually be lowered to h> 
elude the 18, 19-year-old group. And when that time comes, 
Millsaps along with all other colleges will be facing a serious 
problem . . . When the draft is finally lowered, it is well agreed 
that most colleges will be turned into young ladies seminaries." 
It's something to think about.

MILLSAPS COLLEGE, JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI 



FEBRUARY 24, 1966 




Historic Founders 
Retirement Set 



CLASSIFICATIONS-Colonel James L. Davis, ri S ht, Mississippi Selective Service director, If 
lustrates the shortafe of eligible draftees for Doug McCullough, left, and Brad Parker, center. 

Draft Director Clarifies 
New Induction Laws 



"We are at war. Make no 
doubt about it." Quoting Sena- 
tor John Stennis, Mississippi's 
Selective Service director, 
Colonel James L. Davis, be- 
gan his address in chapel Feb- 
ruary 17 by attempting to im- 
press upon students the cru- 
cial nature of the Viet Nam 
conflict. "A dirty little war 
has become dirty big war. 
Our flag is there, our honor is 
there, and we must win." 

Davis attempted to clarify 
the issue that has captured the 
academic spotlight for the 
past few weeks — the new 
draft system. He said that 
because of the increasing de- 
mand for manpower in Viet 
Nam, the heretofore lenient 
system had to be tightened. 
Thus draft deferments for col- 
lege students are now more 
difficult to obtain. 

Davis said that authorities 
vary in their calculations, but 
in order to win the war, we 
must outnumber our adversar- 
ies by a ratio of from 6 to 10-1. 
Again quoting Stennis, he said 
there are now 200,000 troops in 
Viet Nam, about one-half or 
one-third the number needed 
to win. 

Use Korean System 

The speaker said that the 
Viet Nam war would require 
about the same manpower as 
the Korean war, when draft 
calls ran as high as 80,000 a 
month or more than double 
the current call. He also noted 
that at the beginning of 1965, 
when the U.S. had only 23,300 
men in Viet Nam, less than 
1% were draftees; today 
draftees make up 20% of the 
nearly 200,000 men. 



The total number of regis- 
tered men in Mississippi, ac- 
cording to D a v i s, is 471,697. 
About 185,000 of these are in 
the 5-A class, men who are 
over-aged. Coupling this total 
with the 1-C's, those in reserve 
components, over half the pool 
of manpower resource in Mis- 
sissippi vanishes, he said. The 
4-F classification, men who 
were examined and totally re- 
jected on a mental, moral, or 
physical basis holds 53,000 
men. Peacetime rejectees but 
wartime acceptables, class 
1-Y, number approximately 
65,000 men. About 47,000 Mis- 
sissippians have dependency 
deferments and are in the 3-A 
class. The 1-A classification 
contains all men who are able 
to serve, including Mississip- 
pi's 3,974 college students. In 
the final analysis, David ob- 
served, there are less than 1,- 
000 men available in Missis- 
sippi who are acceptable to fill 
future calls. 

"Up until this month," Davis 
noted, "we have had to cancel 
orders for induction for any 
men who joined reserves or 
active forces after receiving 
their draft notices. Now draft- 
ees can volunteer only for the 
regulars. 

Tap College Pool 

Noting that many draft 
boards had run through their 
available supply of available, 
non-deferred single men and 
practically exhausted the 
store of married men without 
children, Davis said the col- 
lege manpower pool had to be 
tapped. "College students and 
1-Y men are the only re- 
(Continued on page 4) 



Tap Day Set 

All students have been 
urged to attend chapel on 
Tap Day, set for March 3. 
Tap Day, sponsored by 
Omicron Delta Kappa, is 
held during the regular 
chapel period once each 
semester. On this day stu- 
dents are recognized for 
their extracurricular and 
scholastic achievements by 
being tapped into honorary 
fraternities. S c h o larship 
trophies are awarded by 
Omicron Delta Kappa to 
the fraternity and sorority 
with the highest averages 
for the preceding semester. 



"Why not try looking upon 
it as a conversation piece?" 
That is what Linus says of 
his blanket and it might just 
as well be the advice he 
would give Millsaps officials 
in regard to Founders Hall. 
Historic Founders Hall is 
scheduled for "retirement" at 
the end of this semester. 

Like the old horse and bug- 
gy upon the advent of the en- 
gine, Founders must now bow 
out of the picture as a hous- 
ing facility. The construction 
of the new women's dorm- 
itory will make it possible to 
use the building only in the 
case of an overflow in the 
other housing spaces. 

Beginning with the 1966-67 
session freshman women 
who formerly occupied, Foun- 
ders, will be assigned to 
Franklin Hall and, after it 
is filled, to Whitworth Hall. 
Upperclass women will use 
the new dormitory and San- 
ders Hall. 

Founders' future is uncer- 
tain at the present though 
students have offered a wide 
range of suggestions, ranging 
from "raze it!" to the idea 
of transforming it into some 
type of museum. A more mod- 
ate suggestion involves com- 
plete rennovation and land- 
scaping. But the over-all gen- 
eral concensus, regardless, is 
that "Founders Hall must be 
preserved!" 

Built In 1890's 

The historic building began 
life before the turn of the cen- 
tury on plantation property 
then well outside the city lim- 
its of Jackson. Built in the 
1890's as a classroom for 
Jackson College, on what was 
then the Elsinore Plantation, 
Founders is the only building 
on the Millsaps campus as 
old as the college itself. It 
was purchased in 1902 by Ma- 
jor R. W. Millsaps and added 
to the Millsaps College hold- 



ings, which at that time were 
limited to the west side of the 
current campus. In 1911 it be- 
came the headquarters for 
the new preparatory school, 
serving as both living and 
academic space. 

On January 13, 1913, fire 
partially destroyed the build- 
ing but was put out by a stu- 
dent bucket brigade. Two 
days later another fire com- 
pleted the job, leaving only 
the outer walls. Another set 
of walls were added when the 
building was reconstructed. 

It served as a barracks dur- 
ing World War I, housing the 
Student Army Training Corps 
and coming through the influ- 
enza epidemic of 1917 without 
a single loss of life. It saw 
war service again in the '40's, 
when men in the Navy V-12 
Program were quartered there. 

Founders continued to 
house the prep school until the 
school was dissolved in 1922 
Until 1946 it served as a 
men's dormitory, and in 1946 
was converted into a dormi- 
tory for women. 

Unique Experience 

Practically every coed who 
has lived in Founders Hall 
will agree that it was a 
strangely unique experience. 
The old building has a strange 
way of capturing the hearts 
of its inhabitants— sooner or 
later. In fact, one delighted 
freshman wrote her parents 
with the following comment: 
"The floors creak, it's freez- 
ing cold, and plaster falls 
in my face every night, but 
I LOVE it - it's just like 
home!" 

Now Founders Hall, Mill- 
saps pride in the realm of 
historical landmarks, musl go 
the way of all college tradi- 
tions in a day when practical 
considerations outweigh nos- 
talgic ones. But just exactly 
what that is. . .no one is sure. 




UNCERTAIN FUTURE — Students gaze nostalgically at historic Founders Hail, 
haps, what will become of the old dorm after it is put on reserve status.

'Ya'll Goin' Someplace?' 



"Hey gang, look at the crowd! Listen 
to the cheers. They love us for our 'vic- 
tory. 1 

It's just a little ritual the Majors al- 
ways go through upon reaching the 
campus after their ball trips. The f-ball 
team invented the game, but Monty's 
Majors adapted it to their own use. At 
two or three in the morning, cold, dead- 
tired after an all-night drive, it sorta 
helps to bolster up the oV spirits. 

But some things don't help at all. 
Take, for example, the Sewanee game. 
The guys were pretty disgusted after 
spending a weekend on top of the moun- 
tain with about a thousand males, being 
"wiped out," driving eight hours. Clothes 
all wrinkled, scraggly beards, bags un- 
der the eyes, they came bopping in to 
breakfast upon arrival back at the 'Saps. 
"Hey, ya'll goin' someplace? I, didn't 
even know ya'll had been gone." That's 
the geeting they got. Makes a guy feel 
real great. Makes him want to get out on 
that court and spare no amount of blood, 
sweat and tears in order to win for his 
school. 

The Majors have had support this year 
—at least more than in the past— but 



things could be better. A little more con- 
cern could be shown for their feelings, 
and comments like, "You mean ya'll lost 
again!" "You mean Millsaps HAS a 
basketball team!" and "What's the use 
going to this game — we won't win." 
could be eliminated altogether and not 
be missed. 

Right now the Majors are in Mont- 
gomery, Ala. participating in the Hunt- 
ingdon Invitational Tournament. This, 
of course, winds up the basketball sea- 
son, but here are some tips worth keep- 
ing in mind for next year, AND for Mill- 
saps' other sports: 

Support the Majors. Attend the games. 
Keep up with what's going on — the 
games are always posted in doors, bulle- 
tin boards, and other strategic places 
around campus. Make an effort to learn 
the players' names (they have 'em, you 
know) instead of referring to them as 
number 25 or number 36. Respect their 
feelings. Don't ask the guys all sorts of 
questions right after a tough, tiring 
game and expect to be treated with 
sugar and honey. Most important of all, 
BE POSITIVE and CARE. We can go 
places. — M.S.

First off, a reminder that the Purple and White box 
is not an ash tray. 

Second, a word of thanks to all the students and 
faculty who offered comments, suggestions, and cri- 
ticism of our first issue of the Purple and White. A 
special thanks to the alert English major who re- 
minded me that students are "affected" not ef- 
fected" by the draft. So men, I'm not sure whether 
the "a" makes the situation any more or less crucial 
but Webster's the authority so you're stuck with it.

Last week I heartily en- 
couraged a deluge of letters-

stipulate that they must be 
signed (however, the name

so designates). Last week a 
very well-written and very un- 
signed letter came to the P&W 
post office box, which can- 
not be printed until the writer 
informs the editor of his iden- 
tity. Incidentally, I have rea- 
son to believe that this mis- 
sive was written by someone 
off campus. MOST Millsaps 
students don't have an ex- 
treme amount of difficulty 
realizing that the editor is not 
a "Dear Sir."

erage could be immensely ex- 
panded. Our reporters are 
only human, you know. Now 
if we had a staffer like Super

problem. He could just snap 
on his x-ray vision and get

Dear Editor: 

The basketball team would 
like to request that, through 
the Purple and White, you 
inform the students and fac- 
ulty of Millsaps College of our 
appreciation for their backing 
and support throughout this 
basketball season. 

We fully realize that we did 
not reach the standards we 
set for ourselves this season 
and, in this, we are disap- 
pointed. We are not disap- 
pointed, however, in the fine 
support we have been given 
by Millsaps people in 1965-66. 

For your encouragement 
and enthusiasm, we thank 
you. 

Sincerely,

"Morning At Millsaps: A Walk In The Indian Summe ■< 



By RONALD GOODBREAD 
Political Editor 

The wind whispers ever so softly through the cross- 
ing between Burton and Galloway Halls at 3:30 in the 
morning. The light there bathes everything within a 
few yards in a fool's gold nuance that reminds one of a 
nursery story or of a dream one can't quite altogether 
recall. It is a fantasy time. It is a morning in the In- 
dian Summer. 



Everything is exhaustingly 
silent at this hour. Big test 
tomorrow you know. Now 
and again the tired silence is 
broken by the train whistle 
down at the railroad yards by 
Mack's or the occasional 
car passing by C-S's on 
Northwest Street. And then it 
fades away like an echo and 
it is quiet again. It gives one 
time to think, the early morn, 
ing. Time to reflect on things. 

What does one think of at 
3:30 in the morning? What 
does one wonder about when 
the city sleeps? One thinks 
about oneself some. Or about 
the girl across campus in the 
dormitory. Or about far away 
places. About New Orleans; 
Mardi Gras this time of year, 
you know. Or about Memphis, 
maybe, or New York, or Lon- 
don or Rome. Or Saigon. Won- 
der what king of morning it 
was there seven hours ago. 
Pretty bad, one would guess. 



Come to think of it, there is 
a shower running next door. 
It's hard to hear it over the 
clatter of your typewriter but 
these walls are paper thin. 
But it runs most of the time 
anyway. It gives one an im- 
pression of continuity at Mill- 
saps. Like the shower some 
things run all the time and 
like the shower, they should 
not. One thing you can be 
sure of: it's cold. 

If you go outside, it's cold 
too. Just cool enough to make 
you uncomfortable— like you 
are just before a test that will 
probably decide your grade 
in the course. Here and there 
a light is on and one wonders 
what is being studied in those 
cells isolated by this time of 
the morning. Or, perhaps, one 
wonders what is being taken 
for granted there. If one had 
a good heart, he would wonder 
what kind of goodness is 
being illuminated in that 
room for a hundred dollars a 
semester. 

Pretty Lonely 
Here outside, the trees and 
the grass seem pretty lonely. 
Foolishly you feel sorry for 
anything lonely. A walk out 
there would be nice, don't you 
think? Footsteps on the road 
in front of the dorm echo as 
if the whole world were emp- 
ty. One could walk out in that 
wooded area in front of the 
road. It sure enough is spooky 
out there and the sound of a 
diesel truck engine growling 
in the distance all the way 
from State Street almost 
startles you. In isolated spots 
the moonlight penetrates the 
ill-clad branches of the trees 
and reflects on the sign out 
there by the road that says 
4 'Millsaps College — Class of 
1964." There's just enough 
shade and light here to re- 
mind you vaguely of the mea- 
in the glen where you 



used to play baseball when 
you were a little boy. Some- 
how, with a little imagina- 
tion, you can remember 
the poem Evangeline from 
eighth grade literature: "This 
is the forest prime vial— The 
murmuring pines and the 
hemlocks — Bearded with 
moss and in garments of 
green — Stand indistinct in the 
twilight. . . ." I guess old 
Longfellow wasn't so bad aft- 
er all. Wander down toward 
the big steps on the other side 
of the road from the CC. You 
hardly ever see anyone down 
there except maybe Sugar- 
foot now and then picking up 
scraps of paper. There is a 
sign over there — a historic 
marker— "Millsaps College — 
Chartered February 21, 1890 
. The day before Wash- 
ington's birthdate you note 
if you're a history major, and 
you wonder how many people 
have read it. 

On the way back, the new 
dormitory in the darkness 
looks more like sad ruins 
than modern construction. 
Funny, how those things are. 
Troubling: Thoughts 
Still one thinks. They're 
eating lunch in Moscow about 
now and dinner in Eastern 
China and Viet Nam— those 
who lived til dinner. But these 
thoughts trouble you. The 
cold, slightly more than tick- 
ling wind makes you uncom- 
fortable enough anyway. 
Think about something else: 
The clouds seem to move fas- 
ter at night. . . .That's odd. 
Wonder why? Maybe because 
it's so still down here this 
time of the morning that 
movement up there seems 
quicker. Things must look aw- 
fully slow from up there, 
though. This whole half of the 
world \? asleep right now ex- 
cept for those in Dr. Ross 
Moore's Current Prob- 
lems class. Pretty soon they'll 
all be waking up. Grudging- 
ly. Except for the KA's, most 
of the men will have to face 
a loathesome shave and the 
women— well, they'll go about 
their daily camouflage job or 
whatever it is that women do 
to themselves to make one 
wonder what they're really 
like. Let that pass, though; 
one would be up many nights 
like tonight trying to figure 
why or how. But still they 
will all get up unknowing of 
what happened during the 
night: of the moonlight in the 
trees; of the stranger who 
passed through town; of the 
thoughts of yesteryear at Mill- 
saps; of the time we broke 
into Founders, or when we 
painted the light in front of 
Whitworth red or when we 
tried to "borrow" the ducks 
from Belhaven or when all of 
a sudden about this time of 
the morning the music of Bo 
Diddley blared out of the PA 



speaker they had in the CC 
tower to play spiritual music 
during Religious Emphasis 
Week. Everyone was asleep 
then, too. Ah, yes, 'tis a good 
time of the day to remember. 
Remember, Stranger 
Some morning years hence 
they will ask you, stranger, 
what you remember from 
Millsaps. It could be that you 
will say you slept through 
or then again, you might re- 
member a few golden things 
if you grasp them now. You 
might remember the football 
games and that peculiar Mill- 
saps Spirit, or you might re- 
member the fraternity 
dances. Something like the 
empty spot where the old KA 
house used to be might stick 
in your mind or you might 
remember all those benches 
no one every sat on. You may 
even remember the quack 



who wrote the "political" col- 
umn in the P & W. What was 
the name of that column any- 
way? "Gymnasium?" But if 
you're ever up at 3:30 on a 
night during the Indian Sum- 
mer, take a walk, stranger. 
See a campus at rest. Watch 
the heart of a mighty intel- 
lectual giant throb slowly and 
steadily in a cool breeze. Lis- 
ten to the silence of learning. 
Speak to the oracle of higher 
education. Pay homage to 
those who sleep seldom and 
work often to make it all pos- 
sible. Realize with the Board 
of Trustees of Millsaps Col- 
lege that you can help "fos- 
ter an attitude of continuing 
intellectual awareness, of tol- 
erance, and of unbiased in- 
quiry, without which true ed- 
ucation cannot exist." Do not 
seek to indoctrinate, stranger, 
but seek to inform and in- 



spire. 

Only 94 Days 

Yes, one thinks. And one 
remembers. All the way back 
to his freshman year. With 
only 94 days til Commence- 
ment it doesn't really seem 
like that long ago. Not in 
time, at least, but rather in 
effort, and in hope and in suc- 
effort, and in hope and in sue 
cess and in failure. Was it 
worth it? Like a fine paint- 
ing, you can't decide up 
close; you have to back off 
a ways. You have to take a 
walk early in the morning 
during the Indian Summer. 
Then you can reflect, and 
reminisce, and you decide, 
after all, that it was. And if 
along the path you are star- 
tled it is because you realize 
that it is almost all over. And 
that is when the breeze, and 
the train whistle, and the car 
motor, and the truck engine 
and the running shower gar- 
ble to your soul, "Never for- 
get; never forget; never for- 
get. ..." 

AU too soon the Indian 
Summer will be over.

Student Favors Legalising: Says 
Prohibition A Farce And Failure 



By Jim Carroll 

At the time this article is be- 
ing written, the Mississippi 
State Legislature is consid- 
ering a bill which would end 
over a half century of prohibi- 
tion in the state, and which 
would at last make the sale 
and possession of liquor legal 
in all fifty of the states. The 
bill most likely to pass would 
submit the question to the 
people in the form of a 
referendum, thus every quali- 
fied v o t e r in the state will 
have an opportunity to take a 
hand in the decision as to 
whether Mississippi will re- 
main "wet" or "dry". 

There are two observations 
that this writer would like to 
make concerning this prob- 
lem: first, the status of liquor 
in Mississippi today; second, 
the implications of legal 
liquor. 

It is obvious to even the cas- 
ual observer that Mississippi 
is "dry" in name only. A visit 
to the Mississippi Gulf Coast 
or to one of the innumerable 
bootleg establishments over 
the state will bear this out. 
What the whole thing amounts 
to is that prohibition as it ex- 
ists in the state does not 
work. Liquor is obtained in 
virtually every part of the 
state, and the only pecple who 
will deny this are the Baptist 
ministers, the sheriffs of some 
counties, and the bootleggers 
themselves. 

Obvious Failure 

Furthermore, it is obvious 
that prohibition cannot work 
simply because the people are 
not willing to make it work. 
Private citizens refuse to help, 
both by patronizing those who 
sell the stuff and by refusing 
to aid in their capture and con- 
viction. Most law enforcement 
officers do not attempt to 
stamp out illegal liquor sales; 
juries will often refuse to con- 
vict violators even when they 
are brought to justice. The 
only people who benefit from 



prohibition are the dishonest 
—the bootleggers, who make 
the money off the sales and 
the dishonest law officers who 
accept payoffs to allow the 
mockery to continue. That the 
people are cheating them- 
selves is the supreme irony. 
They cheat themselves by pay 
ing the exhorbitant prices 
which the bootleggers de- 
mand; they cheat themselves 
and their society out of the 
tax money which legalized 
liquor would bring into the 
treasury; and they cheat them- 
selves out of any chance for a 
rational look at the problems 
which liquor produces (wheth- 
er it is legal or not). 

Furthermore, it is an irref- 
utable fact that young peo- 
ple, not yet capable of han- 
dling alcohol, find liquor 
much easier to come by in 
this "dry" state than they 
would if it were legal and 
strictly controlled. The stan- 
dard reply to the ideas which 
we have just put forth is, 
"Yes, but if prohibition were 
enforced, we wouldn't have 
any of these problems." We 
could answer this by asking 
those people if any past evi- 
dence shows that prohibition 
can be enforced; we think 
history will show that it can- 
not. 

Not Enforceable 

Before the Eighteenth 
Amendment was ratified 32 
dry states could not enforce 
it; and after liquor became 
illegal nationally, not even 
the massive power of the Fed- 
eral Government could en- 
force it. That anyone could 
really believe prohibition is 
practical is hard for us to 
grasp. This brings us back to, 
the status quo in Mississippi. 
We are still cheating our- 
selves out of the tax money 
which would come from leg- 
alization; we are still turning 
our backs on the problems 
of the individual and alcohol. 
And we are still subjecting 



our children to a situation in 
which they are faced with the 
challenge to drink simply be- 
cause society says "no" to 
something which is readily 
available for them at any 
time they want it. 

Now let us look at the im- 
plications of a Mississippi in 
which the sale and distribu- 
tion of liquor would not be a 
crime, but a matter of free 
choice on the part of the indi- 
vidual as to whether he wants 
to buy it or not. 

Attitude Crucial 

Certainly the success or 
failure of legalization would 
depend upon the attitude in 
which the state approached 
it. If we look at legalization 
merely as a means to obtain 
tax money or as a method 
by which we can again "join 
the union", this writer feels 
little will be accomplished. 
But if the state as a whole 
would and the government in 
particular approach the prob- 
lem from a philosophical 
standpoint, we feel that legal- 
ization could accomplish 
some real good in the solv- 
ing of many of the problems 
which accompany liquor 
(which we hasten to add 
again that we have under the 
status quo whether we like it 
or not). 

The bill as it is now before 
the Legislature provides for 
state - owned liquor stores. 
These would wipe out the 
bootlegger if for no other rea- 
son than that they could un- 
dersell him. The tight con- 
trols impdied by state owner- 
ship would eliminate the sale 
of liquor to minors, and would 
make it much more difficult 
for them to obtain liquor. Ten- 
nessee does this very success- 
fully with privately - owned 
stores, and it goes without 
saying that a state-operated 
system could do it much more 
easily. In addition, a system 
of s t a t e ownership would

When classes were can- 
celled at Virginia Polytechnic 
Institute because of snow, the 
cancellation was not a gift 
after all. According to The 
Virginia Tech, students were 
enlisted, out from under their 
three blankets, and taken to 
Tech's coal mine for a day 
of hard labor. A severe cold 
wave caused this "crisis" and 
the school's coal supply had 
been completely exhausted. 
In one day the boys dug 
enough coal to keep the build- 
ings heated and the next day 
classes resumed. A week la- 
ter classes were cancelled a 
second time; however, there 
was an adequate supply of 
coal, so the boys did not have 
to leave their rooms. 

ESP Really Real 

Is ESP a reality? Dr. J. B. 
Rhyne, Director of the Insti- 
tute of Parapsycology at Duke 
University told a University 
of Georgia audience that ESP 
is a reality and that he is 
developing methods to prove 
its existence. The Red and 
Black reports that Dr. Rhyne 
has been conducting research 
on extrasensory terception 
since 1927. As evidence of the 
existence of ESP, he cited 
three examples on which he 
could base his beliefs: 

Clairvoyance — an example 
in which a young wife had an 
hallucinatory vision of a 
scene ten miles away in 
which her brother committed 
suicide. She was able to see 
vividly every detail of the act 
and upon convincing her hus- 
band to take her to her broth- 
er's house, found that every- 
thing she had seen was true. 

Telepathy — a coed at Duke 
University during World War 
II dreamed that her fiance 
fighting overseas had sudden- 
ly developed white hair. She 
mentioned the dream in a let- 
ter and discovered that it 
was indeed true and that he 
had been thinking about how 
to tell her. 

Precognition — a secretary 
told her husband one morning 
that she had dreamed that 
someone driving her boss' 
car would wreck it and be 
killed. She said nothing to her 
boss about this, however, and 
several days later, while on 
a trip, he loaned his car to a 
friend who was killed in an 
auto accident. 



orary degrees from Wesleyan, 
Wheaton, and Houghton Col- 
leges. He also attended Mis- 
sissippi State University and 
was named Alumnus of the 
Year in 1965. 

Father Second Prexy 

Roger Hull's father, David 
Carlisle Hull, served as pres- 
ident of Millsaps College from 
1910 to 1912. During his time 
as president, Millsaps enroll- 
ment showed a 35 per cent 



GESP Game 

ESP is also causing a stir 
at Austin Peay State College 
in Clarksdale, Tennessee, ac- 
cording to The All State. Two 
students have invented a new 
board game called General 
Extra Sensory Perception — 
The game, consisting of meth- 
od of "card guessing," or es- 
tablishing an assumption as 
to the symbol on each unseen 
card, is a general, not-too-sci- 
entific way to determine^each 
player's ESP. It is meant 
mainly to stimulate interest 
in further knowledge of ESP 
and to provide an unusual, 
fun game for a wide range of 
ages. Parker Brothers Com- 
pany is considering buying 
the rights to the game. 

Pat Walker— Cutie 

Miss Patricia Walker, a for- 
mer Millsaps student, was se- 
lected a Campus cutie by The 
Mississippians of the Univer- 
sity of Mississippi. She is a 
junior education major from 
Clarksdale and a member of 
Chi Omega Sorority. 

Skirtless Females? 

Will skirtless females be in 
style? This question was 
asked in the Pow Wow of 
Northeast Louisiana State 
College of Monroe concerning 
the new fads in fashion. It is 
the object of "fashion" to 
draw attention to a part of 
the body by emphasizing it 
in any possible way — by ex- 
posing it, drawing clothes 
tightly about it or exaggerat- 
ing the size. After a short pe- 
riod of time the "fashion" be- 
comes a bore and the empha- 
sis shifts to another body 
zone. The new zone seems to 
be always a little indecent at 
first. In fact, the moralists of 
the time believed anyone 
wearing a "fashionable" gar- 
ment was doomed to the tor- 
ments of hell. In 1920 women 
began showing their legs. 
Even the most "immoral" pe- 
riods of the past had only had 
a glimpse of the ankle. By 
the end of the twenties, legs 
had become a bore, and em- 
phasis had shifted to the back. 
Evening dresses and some 
daytime ones were open to 
the waist in back. Then came 
the short-lived "topless" look. 
If "fashion" keeps changing, 
attention may be switched 
from legs to back, no dress 
at all down to the waist, or 
perhaps no dress! 



increase. He resigned in 1912 
to become superintendent of 
schools in Meridian. 

In 1920 Hull was elected 
president of Mississippi State 
University; in 1925 he re- 
signed to accept the presiden- 
cy of Kentucky Wesleyan Col- 
lege. He died in August, 1928. 
A portrait of Dr. Hull was 
unveiled during the ceremon- 
ies and will be hung in Mur- 
rah Hall along with portraits 
of other past presidents of 
Millsaps. 

The chapel speaker's main 
concern was with a spiritual 
poverty existent in America 
as opposed to physical pover- 
ty. He drew an analogy be- 
tween government as an in- 
stitution and the church as 
an institution. "Government," 
he said, "does not produce 
anything. It merely uses that 
which the people have al- 
ready produced." The entire 
system of free enterprise was 
seen in conflict with govern- 
ment. Moving from govern- 
mental to church affairs, he 
emphasized that "we are in- 
deed a nation under God." 

Must Change Hearts 

The church, in Mr. Hull's 
opinion, is not living up to its 
duty in the moral realm. He 
said, "The church is entrust- 
ed with a message with the 
power to return this nation 
to the position of great leader- 
ship and spiritual power it 
once had." Relating the 
church's duty to the duty of 
government, Mr. Hull pro- 
claimed that "no Great So- 
ciety is possible until we 
change the hearts of individ- 
ual people. 

Hull closed with an exposi- 
tion of his personal ideology, 
but submitted to the students 
that what really mattered 
was how each individual 
looked at God. In the busi- 
ness world and in personal 
hves "the answer to worry is 
the word of God." 



Prompt Vehicle 
Inspection Urged 

Students and professors 
with vehicles (bicycles ex- 
cluded) should take note 
that motorists are now be- 
ing urged to have theirs 
inspected as soon as pos- 
sible to comply with Mis- 
sissippi's Motor Vehicle In- 
spection Law. 

Inspections started Jan- 
uary 1 and will continue 
through March 31. Bad 
weather has created a lag 
in vehicle inspections. 

Items w h ic h will be 
checked to insure the safety 
of the vehicle are brakes, 
lights, steering, tire s, 
windshield wipers, horn 
and glass. Gen. T. B. Bird- 
song, Commissioner o f 
Public Safety, reports that 
there are 1200 public, 
privately - owned garages 
and repair shops located 
over the entire state 
authorized to make inspec- 
tions. 



Draft Director . . .

sources." Concerning 1-Y he 
said that the armed forces has 
lowered its mental standards, 
so that anyone with a score of 
16 or above on the aptitude 
test is eligible. If we go into 
war we must go into the 10 
percentile for acceptability, he 
said. "More people need to be 
taken out of 1-Y and put into 
1-A and out of 3-Y into 1-A in 
order to broaden the base of 
men who can serve." 

The speaker said the Selec- 
tive Service boards have been 
advised to defer only those 
college students who the col- 
lege says are making satis- 
factory progress and pursuing 
full time course of studies. A 
fulltime student is one who 
will finish in the regular 
course of that scool, which at 
Millsaps is four years. He 
must be making grades that 
will assure him the required 
number of quality points nec- 
essary for graduation in the 
normal time. Davis said the 
board will accept the regis- 
trar's word as to whether a 
man is a full-time and satis- 
factory student. 

Set National Criteria 

In order to insure fairness, 
national criteria have been set 
up to determine deferment. In 
general, the rules will be the 
same as those initiated during 
the Korean War, when the Se- 
lective Service Deferment 
Plan was used. So in order to 
qualify for deferment, a stu- 
dent would have to stand in 
the top fifty per cent of his 
class at the end of his fresh- 
man year; top 2-3 at the end 
of his sophomore year; top 
3-4 at the end of his jun- 



Millsaps College was 
founded on Feb. 21, 1890, out 
of a dire situation. It came 
into existence because some- 
one at that time was willing 
to put up fifty thousand dol- 
lars of his own money for the 
future of education. The man? 
None other than the Major — 
R. W. Millsaps. Thd situation 
was desperate; he came to the 
rescue. 

Bishop W. B. Murrah, first 
president of Millsaps College, 
speaking to the student body 
October 13, 1910, said the 
crisis was brought about when 
the two Mississippi Methodist 
conferences severed their con- 
nection from Centenary Col- 
lege at Jackson, La. "At the 
time of this disconnection 
Mississippi Methodists faced 
a very desperate situation in 
regard to educational mat- 
ters. They had no institution 
and felt profoundly the need 
of one." 

Hopeless Task 

Bishop Murrah said the two 
conferences then appointed 
commissioners to confer with 
each other and try to devise 
a plan for the establish- 
ment of an institution. "This 
commission had indeed a dif- 
ficult proposition to face. In 
fact, it seemed almost a hope- 
less task. However, when this 
commission met in Jackson, 
Mississippi, the meeting was 
marked with great enthusi- 
asm throughout. 

"At the close of their meet- 
ing a distinguished layman of 



ior year and top fifty per cent 
in his senior year. On aptitude 
tests, a student would be ex- 
pected to score 70 or better to 
qualify for deferment as an 
undergraduate; 75 or more as 
a graduate student. 

Davis pointed out, however, 
that in an institution such as 
Millsaps, where the students 
are all of a higher grade, the 
use of both criteria would 
place an unfair penalty on the 
college. Therefore, either one 
or the other, class ranking or 
test scores, may be used. 

The speaker then passed on 
a word of advice to students 
from Gen. Hershey, national 
Selective Service director — 
"Study!" 



Jackson looked into the situa- 
tion and become very enthu- 
siastic over the idea. He saw 
the great need of such an in- 
stitution and as a result of 
his investigation, Major R. 
W. Millsaps said to the com- 
mission, 'If the Mississippi 
Methodists will raise fifty 
thousand dollars for the 
founding of such an institu- 
tion, I will give fifty thou- 
sand dollars.' The Major's 
generous proposition was 
gratefully accepted by the 
Commission and a vigorous 
campaign was launched to se- 
cure the other fifty thousand 
dollars. It is needless to say 
that the necessary funds were 
raised." 

Portrait Presentation 

The occasion of the address 
from which the above state- 
ments were excerpted was 
the presentation of a portrait 
of Major Millsaps to the col- 
lege to be placed in chapel. 
The portrait now hangs on 
the west wall in the Millsaps 
Room in the Millsaps-Wilson 
Library. 

Millsaps' president at the 
time of this presentation was 
David Carlisle Hull, the col- 
lege's second president. He 
said, "It (the portrait) comes 
to us as an added evidence 
of the tender affection which 
the Major has always shown 
for us in the past. The build- 
ings, the ample grounds, the 
name — all link the name of 
this man to our college for-

Twos Strange . . Passing Strange 



By BARRY McGEHEE 

The king is dead. Long live 
the king! We remember when 
Sir John Gielgud was hailed 
as "the greatest actor in the 
world." Now, it seems, his 
title has passed into the hands 
of a younger colleague— t h e 
new "Prince of Players.' 1 

Last Wednesday and Thurs- 
day evenings we saw "Othel- 
lo," a new piece by Bill 
Shakespeare, not to be con- 
fused with the Elizabethan 
poet, William Shakespeare, 
who wrote a somewhat less 
exciting play along the same 
lines. Having been prepared 
and indoctrinated by the New 
York Times and other local 
critics, I was appropriately 
shocked by Sir Laurence 
Olivier's drastic makeup and 
his "Minstrel like appear- 
ance." So, now I have done 
what is obviously my duty in 
the above observation and 
will proceed to tell you what 
I thought of the show. 
Wonderful, But . . . 
WONDERFUL, with reser- 
vations. Who but Laurence 
Olivier, the most experienced 
person in the world in bring- 
ing Shakespeare to the 
screen, could have pulled off 
such a stunt, if indeed, gain- 
ing sympathy for a 
misoginate marriage before a 
Jackson audience can be 
called anything less. S i r 
Laurence grinned and giggled 
his way through sections of 
the play which scholars say 
Shakespeare intended to por- 
tray the nobility of the Moor 
and thus gain sympathy for 
the tragic downfall. To put it 
quite simply, Olivier played 
Othello as a Negro with lit- 
tle attempt at subtility, and it 
worked, as evidenced by the 
extreme silence in the theatre 
at the show's end. 

Maggie Smith as Desdemo- 
na was played with marvelous 
affection, and pain, but Miss 
Smith did not do justice to 
Shakespeare's description of 
her. But, with an actress of 
her caliber, who cares! 
Shifty-Eyed I ago 
More people seemed to 
identify with Iago than any 
other character, Shifty - eyed 
Iago, whose eyes shifted not 
only in slyness, but in dis- 
traction. Then there was Cas- 
sio (Derek Jacobi), a mathe- 
matician who had great love 
for Othello to be sure, but a 
soldier, never. He was, how- 
ever, effective in the role. 

I enjoyed the performance 
of Joyce Redman (Emilia) 
and Robert Lang (Roderigo) 
especially. Miss Redman gave 
a warm, sympathetic reading, 
and her handling of the bril- 
liantly written scene in which 
she reveals Iago was superb 
—I lack words to describe 
her death scene. 



Robert Lang is a per- 
fect nincompoop, as Roderigo, 
that is. One easily believed 
his gullibility, but felt a 
strange "comic justice" in 
his death. 

Olivier's Othello was, I am 
given to understand, not a tra- 
ditional performance. Perhaps 
this is what distinguishes 
music and drama from a 1 1 
other arts — the final product 
is in the hands of today, and 
work is never finished.

make it much easier to crack 
down on those who cannot 
drink responsibly. 

Take Lessons 
In this respect, we might 
take some lessons from the 
Scandinavian countries, who 
have dealt with their problems 
in this regard very adequate- 
ly. In these nations, and par- 
ticularly in Sweden, the mere 
act of drinking intoxicating 
beverages while driving is 
punishable by thirty days in 
jail and revocation of the driv- 
er's license. In addition, those 
who are known to have prob- 
lems with alcohol are 
watched very closely, and 
often cannot buy liquor of any 
kind. The countryside is 
free of large signs advertising 
liquor (these are only neces- 
sary when private owners 
compete for sales). The peo- 
ple of these nations support 
the strict enforcement of the 
regulations because they have 
been educated as to the dan- 
gers of misuse of alcohol. 
Still, they have the free 
choice as to whether they 
want to buy liquor or not. In 
short, they accept the respon- 
sibility of free choice, main- 
ly because they are treated 
as responsible men and wom- 
en able to make their own 
decisions, so long as these do 
not interfere with the safety 
and rights of other citizens. 

If prohibition is ended in 
Mississippi (as we feel it ulti- 
mately will be) it is our hope 
that the problem will be ap- 
proached in this manner. For, 
as we said earlier in this 
article, the manner in which 
Mississippi and Mississippi- 
ans approach the problem 
ultimately will determine the 
success or failure not only of 
legalization, but also the 
worth of "The Noble Experi- 
ment".

Experts To Conduct Piano Course 

Two renowned piano teaching experts are scheduled 
to conduct a two-day study course for piano teachers here 
at Millsaps March 3 and 4. 

The experts, Frances Clark and Richard Chronister of 
the New School for Music Study in Princeton, New Jersey, 
will hold the course, sponsored by the Millsaps music de- 
partment, in the Boyd Campbell Student Center. 

According to Mr. Byler, this is the first two-day course 
that the New School has presented in Jackson, and the 
first time that Miss Clark and Mr. Chronister have appeared, 
together in the area.

SOCIAL SCOOPS... 



FROM FILE 



By SUSAN McLEMORE 
Society Editor 




Before I begin this week's 
column, maybe I'd better ex- 
plain the name of this col- 
umn. When I was trying to 
think of a name for it, I had 
all kinds of good suggestions 
from such people as Susan 
Long. She suggested News 
with Suse, Newsy Susie, Mc- 
Lemore's Score, This Week's 
Trash, etc. Well, you have to 
admit all that blows with 
reckless abandon and great 
alacrity. I told all this to our 
editor, Marie Smith, and out 
of This Week's Trash, s h e 
figured out Social Scoops from 
File 13. File 13 in case you 
wondered is the trash can. 
Onward great social column! 

Congratulations to Paul 
Richardson, a Lambda C h i 
pledge and to Janet Vaughn, a 
Phi Mu, who got dropped, 
Tommy Tucker, Pike, and 
Julianne Soloman, who are 
dropped, and to Marilyn Hin- 
ton, a Chi Omega, and Bud- 
dy Tomlinson, a Pike, who are 
pinned. 

The Lambda Chi's will have 
a party on February 25 at 
Knox Glass Lodge starting at 
eight o'clock. Music will be 
furnished by the Playboys. 

The Kappa Delta's will have 
their annual Dagger Dance on 
February 26 at Costas Lodge. 
Their music will be furnished 
by the Rooks from Brook- 
haven. It could be a bad 
night. 



Lots 'o Sparks 

The Kappa Sigs will have a 
party February 25 at the Kap- 
pa Sig House with music by 
Booker T. Wolfe, Jr. and the 
Seven Sparkling Gardenias. 
I'm sure there will be more 
people "sparkling" than the 
Seven Gardenias. Hod o 
mighty! 

By this time nearly all the 
fraternities and sororities will 
have initiated their pledges 
and thrilled (?) them by di- 
vulging all their mystic good- 
ies. At this time, beloved (do 
I sound like a Baptist preach- 
er?), I would like to pass the 
plate for tithes — I mean I 
would like to give you what I 
hope are complete lists of the 
new initiates of each group: 

PHI MU: Jane Beale, Jan 
Wall, Carolyn Christopher,

what they'd taste like n o t 
having been shouted over!) 

Real Person 

Beneath that red, blonde, or 
brunette topping, however. . . 
besides the fun - loving, 
joking "Acy" whom students 
know . . . lies a real person, a 
person who can say, "I like 
my work and I love all the 
students." Really, now, how 
many people could make that 
statement about Millsaps stu- 
dents in the Millsaps Grill 
without wincing. 

Mrs. Acy, who is a Green- 
wood, Mississippian, by birth, 
has four children, three of 
whom live here in Jackson. 
(One daughter, a hair stylist 
at Joseph's, perhaps holds the 
secret to Mrs. Acy's kaleido- 
scopic variety of hair styles 
and colors). 

"Three grandbaby - boys ? " 
according to Mrs. Acy, formu- 
late the greater part of her 
non -Millsaps interests. During 
vacations, it is found that she 
keeps right in step with the 
college generation — "Acy" 
packs her bags and heads for 
Louisiana or Florida (though 
perhaps not to find "Where 
the Boys Are"). 

Dr. Acy? 

The opening of school, how- 
ever, always finds Mrs. Acy 
back on the job . . . as she 
has been for five years. Soon 
she'll have enough hours for a 
doctorate in grillology. Asked 
how much longer she'll be 
willing to put up with the pace 
of grillology, 'Acy" replied 
that she plans to stick around 
"unless some of the students 
throw me out." 

The latter thought is cer- 
tainly unlikely, for Mrs. Acy 
herself admits that she can't 
stay mad at any student for 
long. "I can't get mad," she 
said. "I got mad at one last 
night, and went back and 
apologized to him." 

So, disregarding possible 
student riots or Mrs. Acy's 
changing her mind, she'll 
probably get that Ph. D. in 
grillology. Get to know her. . . 
she's one of the best authori- 
ties in the state!

to win by twenty points. 

Carey Gets 102-82 
Win Over Millsaps 



By JIMMY GENTRY 

William Carey College put 
live men in double figures as 
they beat Millsaps College 
here Tuesday night by a 102- 
82 margin. 

The Crusaders hit a sizzling 
61 per cent from the field as 
they sacked 38 to 62 attempt- 
ed shots. The Majors hit 33 of 
86 for 39 per cent. 

With 10 minutes to play in 
the first half, Carey held a 
slim 21-17 lead. But, by half- 
time, had upped the margin 
to 49 - 34, mainly on the 
strength of 14 points provided 
by Joe Ruffin. 

The second half featured a 
Millsaps' comeback which 
saw the Majors pull to within 
five points, at 60-55, with 12:24 
left. The Majors stayed close 
until, with seven minutes to 
play, Carey hit for eight 
quick points to pull into a 
commanding 84-69 advantage. 



High for the night was 
Ruffin of Carey with 23 
points. He was followed by 
Craig Foshee with 22, Bobby 
Eades with 21, Joe Stover 
with 16, and John Martin with 
12. 

For Millsaps, Jerry Sheldon 
was high with 17 points, fol- 
lowed by Charles Rosenbaum 
with 14.

Lynx Take 87-79 
Win Over Majors 



Feb. 24, IMS 



By JIMMY GENTRY 

Millsaps College let victory 
slip through their fingers last 
night as they lost an 11 point 
lead and dropped an 87-79 de- 
cision to Southwestern of 
Memphis. 

The Majors started fast 
and, on the strength of the 
shooting of Hap Wheeler, and 
Charles Rosenbaum, built an 
11 point lead of 35-24 with 
5:54 left in the first half. 
Deadlock 

Mike Reed then went on a 
scoring spree to lead the Lynx 
to a 43-43 tie at the half as 
the Cats scored 19 points 
while the Majors could sack 
only eight. 

First Place Taken 
By Independents 

Women's Intramurals 
By MARY NICHOLS 

After one week of action in 
Women's Intramural Basket- 
ball the Independents have 
taken over the top spot. The 
undefeated Independents are 
closely followed by the P h i 
Mil's. 

Zeta Tau Alpha and C h i 
Omega were the victims of 
the leading Independents. The 
Zeta's fell by a score of 58-5. 
Alice N e w s o m was the 
sharpshooter for the winners 
with 24 points to her credit. 
Independents Win 

The Independents second 
win came over the Chi O's by 
a score of 33-16. Alice New- 
som poured in 23 points for 
the winners while Mary 
Evans Davidson scored 16 for 
the losers. 

Virginia Ann Jones led the 
Chi Omega's to their first vic- 
tory as they defeated the 
ZTA's 42-6. Maggie Watkins 
and Sandy Schilling contrib- 
uted to the winning cause. 
Zeta's Lose 

Winless Zeta Tau Alpha lost 
their third game to the Phi 
Mu's. Katheryn Park and 
Jeanne Burnet scored high for 
the winners. 

Kappa Delta has not played 
its first game yet due to post- 
ponements. The standings are

Lynx broke the deadlock for 
good with 7:15 to play as Jim 
Riggan a five foot jump shot. 
Gap Closes 

Millsaps pulled to within 
two again with 2:58 remain- 
ing as Jerry Sheldon hit a 
lay up, but that was all for 
the Majors as Reggan and 
Reed kept the Cats in front 
for the win. 

Reed was the games high 
scorer hitting for 28 points on 
10 field goals and eight free 
throws. Jack Tilton sank 21 
points and Regan had 20. 

For Millsaps, Sheldon was 
high scorer with 18 markers.

BALL CONTROL — An unidentified William Carey guard controls the ball in last week's 10? 
82 victory over the Majors. Hap Wheeler prepares to execute one of the shifty steals that he

Anna Wesley Named To 
Mademoiselle Board 



LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS 



By ANN MARTIN 

Mademoiselle magazine has 
a unique program — its College 
Board — that enables women 
students to participate in the 
magazine's many activities. 
This year Millsaps will be rep- 
resented by Anna Wesley, a 
junior language major from 
Natchez. 

1500 Winners 

The Board is composed of 
some 1500 winners of the mag- 
azine's annual nationwide Col- 
lege Board Competition, a con- 
test designed to recognize 
a young women with talent in 
art, writing, editing, photog- 
raphy, fashion design or ad- 
vertising. Board members 
are selected on the basis of en- 
tries they submit showing abil- 
ity in one of these fields. 

Anna, whose future plans 
are uncertain, has not decided 
whether or not she will pursue 
a career in the journalistic 
fields, although she is eligible 
to compete for Mademoiselle's 
20 grand prizes. Each year 20 
of the Board members are 
chosen to become Guest Edi- 
tors — to spend the month of 
July in New York as salaried 
employees of Mademoiselle. 
Campus Trends 

As a member of the College 



Board, Anna will have an op- 
portunity to contribute to 
Mademoiselle and help keep 
the magazine abreast of cam. 
pus trends. College Board 
members report regularly to 
Mademoiselle on events at 
their colleges, research arti- 
cles and help Mademoiselle 
fashion editors select models 
for college fashion features. 



D. Shore Featured 

Dinah Shore, outstand- 
ing vocalist of television, 
radio, movie, and record- 
ing fame will grace the 
Mississippi State Coliseum 
in April as the major at- 
traction at the Mississippi 
Arts Festival. 

This announcement was 
recently made by Mrs. 
Hoyt T. Holland, Jr., news- 
paper publicity chairman 
for the festival. More in- 
formation will be released 
later, but students should 
be making plans well in 
advance to attend the fes- 
tival, scheduled for April 
28— May 1. 



Model OAS Slated 
For March In N. O. 

Millsaps students interested 
in politics and world affairs 
have been invited to attend

ganization of American 
States. The event, to be held 
at St. Mary's Dominican Col- 
lege in New Orleans, is 
scheduled for March 25-26. 
The stated purpose of the 
gathering is to facilitate a 
"fuller understanding of cur- 
rent problems through the 
free exchange of ideas." 
Council Of The Gas 

The subjects to be dis- 
cussed and reported on and 
the organs of the Council of 
the OAS are as follows: Inter- 
American Economic and So- 
cial Council, on Alliance for 
Progress and Technology and 
Common Market; Pan Amer- 
ican Health Organization on 
Population Problems; Inter- 
American Defense Board on 
the Role of the Military in 
Latin America, and Control 
of the Spread of Communism; 
Inter - American Commission 
on Human Rights on Role of 
the Military and its Respect 
for Human Rights. 

Delegations 

The fee is $10 for delegates 
requesting rooms for two 
nights. This includes registra- 
tion and dinner on Friday 
night and a cocktail party 
preceeding dinner. 

Anyone interested in attend- 
ing the Model OAS should 
contact Mr. John Quincy Ad- 
ams, head of Millsaps politi- 
cal science department, for 
further details.

riously though, this is an op- 
portunity of a lifetime. If your 
entry is good enough, there's 
just no limit to the honors 
which may be heaped upon 
you (even more than the win- 
ner of the PFTBABGBSBW- 
TBVK Contest)! 

Lewd Booth 

Now for my pet peeve (gee, 
it does the ol 1 soul so much 
good to see one's gripes in 
print). If anyone has an ex- 
tra bandage would you please 
put it on that poor lacerated 
booth in the back, right cor- 
ner of the g r i 1 1. Few things 
are more disgusting than 
couches and booths which re- 
semble an unwary coed just 
returning from a date with 
the debate team captain (see 
Little Man On Campus car- 
toon). The matter came up 
in Student Senate. . .about the 
booth, that is. . .at the first 
meeting this term, but it evi- 
dently died there. And the 
poor booth, its stuffings lewd- 
ly exposed, suffers on. 



notes . . . 

This Is War! 
While we're on the subject 
of pet peeves, here's another 
one which will speak for many 
people on campus. There 
is nothing in this whole wide 
world more obnoxious, odious, 
disgusting, dastardly, abomi- 
nable, repulsive, loathsome, 
beastly, cloying (that's a new 
one on me. 01' Roget is pretty 
original at times) and just 
plain BAD than an umbrella 
thief. An umbrella thief would 
throw you to the wind; he 
would fling you upon the mer- 
cy of the elements; he would 
make you face the cold, cruel 
world shelterless. Even worse 
than that, he would make you 
walk to class in the rain with- 
out your umbrella. Now I ask 
you, what kind of person 
could be so cruel? I wouldn't 
be surprised if he had horns 
. . .or eleven toes, maybe. 
Therefore, I suggest that we 
declare WAR on all Millsaps 
umbrella thieves. Until next 
week, remember: "CRIME 
NEVER PAYS!"— Boy Won- 
der.

WUS Faculty Waiter Night Set For Tues. 




WUS STEERING COMMITTEE surveys plans for the launching: of next week's drive. As co- 
chairmen Judy Prather and Polly Dement get a close-up of the plana, Mary Jo Walker, Phyllis 
McDonald, Mark "No Man Is An Island" Matheny, Helen Pratt Wellborn, and Floy Holloman 
look over their shoulders. 



Opening its annual drive on March 8, World Uni- 
versity Service seeks to reach a new peak of involve- 
nent with Millsaps' constituents of the university world. 

A "Faculty Waiter Night' ' will highlight the three- 
day drive. Under the supervision of Maitre d'Priddy, 



faculty members will present 
menus to and serve their 
patrons, i.e., students. The 
cafeteria, from five tq six on 
Tuesday, March 8, should 
reach a peak of patronage. 

Other Phases 

WUS's steering committee 
has incorporated several oth- 
er phases into the WUS drive 
this year. Committee mem- 
bers are: Judy Praether and 
Polly Dement, WUS co-chair- 
men; Helen Pratt Wellborn, 
"Faculty Waiter Night" co- 
ordinator; Floy Holloman, 
publicity director; Phyllis 
McDonald, art consultant; 
Mary Jo Walker and Steve 
Whatley, finance co - chair- 
men. 

Mr. Robert S. Farrelly, 
Regional Executive of World 
University Service, will fly 
from Atlanta on March 8 to 
kick-off the drive with a 
chapel address. 

"Faculty Waiter Night" will 
take place the evening after 
Mr. Farrelly's chapel ad- 
dress. 



Education Through 
Wednesday 

WUS education will con- 
tinue through Wednesday. 
"Education in the services of 
World University Service," 
comments one of the co-chair- 
men, "is one of our larger 
aims. Although we are most 
eager for the WUS drive to be 
successful financially, we feel 
that it is even more impor- 
tant for Millsaps students to 
be made aware of the wo Ik 
that university students are 
carrying on in Latin America, 
Africa, and Asia. 

"The perpetuation of educa- 
tion on every level of soci- 
ety," she continued, "is the 
surest road to the furtherance 
of a free world." 

Culminating the WUS drive 
on Thursday night, WUS 
workers will seek contribu- 
tions to the Service on an in 
dividual basis. Millsaps stu- 
dents are encouraged to take 
their place among the more 
progressive universi- 
ties through the perpetuation 
of education in underprivi- 
leged countries.

Considers Church And Evangelisi 



By LANNY R. CARLSON 

"Evangelism is one beggar 
telling another beggar where 
he found some bread." 
This was the definition pre- 
ferred by Dr. Andrew F. Gall- 
man, executive secretary of 
the Mississippi Conference 
Board of Evangelism as he 
addressed the Millsaps Col- 
lege Ministerial League, Feb- 
ruary 15, on the subject "The 
Role of Evangelism in the To- 
tal Program of the Church." 
Dealing with the question 
from an actual, rather than 
a theoretical standpoint, he 
discussed 1) the current prob- 
lems being encountered;, and 
2) the current envagelistic 
program of the Methodist 
Church. 

Slight Gain 

Dr. Gallman first pointed 
out that while Mississippi 
Methodism has shown a slight 
gain in membership over the 
past few years, many states 
have suffered heavy losses. 
At the same time, the local 
church has continued to suf- 
fer. For while Bishop Rains 
has estimated that 3O00 new 
ministers are needed each 
year, only 1000 are graduat- 
ing annually from seminaries. 
Not Plunging Ahead 

In spite of these problems, 
however, Dr. Gallman pointed 
to a statement made by the 
Rev. Ronny Sleeth of SMU of 



the National Conference on 
Evangelism in Chicago, in 
which he said that while the 
Church is not plunging ahead, 
neither is it on the verge of 
death: for while it has its 
problems, a proper program 
of evangelism could turn the 
tide. 

Dr. Gallman then turned to 
the question, what is the 
Methodist Church doing in the 
area of evangelism? He em- 
phasized the Quadrennial Pro- 
gram (1964-68), which in- 
cludes 1) a year of appraisial, 
2) a year of district evan- 
gelism, 3) a year of ingather- 
ing, and 4) a year of cultiva- 
tion and assimilation. He also 
held up the dates of February 
12-17 and March 5-10, 1967, the 
focal weeks of evangelism in 
the Southeast Jurisdiction. 
During these weeks, ministers 
from the two Mississippi an- 
nual conferences will ex- 
change "visits" carrying on 
extensive evangelistic cam- 
paigns, with emphasis on col- 
1 e g e and university 
evangelism. 

Church Suffering 

Finally, Dr. Gallman turned 
to Rev. E. Stanley Jones' 
book, Conversion, in which 
Dr. Jones says that the rea- 
son the Church is not being a 
vital organism in the world 
is because it is suffering from 
the same problems as the 



world. Thus the deepest need 
of the Church at present is 
renewal within. In this con- 
nection, Dr. Gallman pointed 
to the current lay movement 
and stated his belief that 



there is currently "a stream 
of renewal flowing under- 
neath. When the Church is 
renewed," he said, "it will 
lift its eyes to the needs of 
the world."

Support APATHY! 

By SARA WIER 
Assistant Editor 

Students of Millsaos College, unite behind our 
common cause! Join your fellows in bringing to every 
college campus in the country the spirit which has 
won so vast a majority of our own student body. Our 
aims have undoubtedly been pursued by most men 
since human life began. Even as our movement has 
thrived and grown on this campus through the years, 
so we should have no difficulty winning new mem- 
bers — here and at other schools. 

With "Support APATHY' 1 as our watchword we 
will band together to increase the number of those 
faithful to our principles of indifference, submission, 
and passiveness. Surely no other movement can 
match ours for broad-based appeal, for only APATHY 
(Active Participation Aggressively Threatens Healthy 
Youth) functions in harmony with a natural 
phenomenon — inertia — and such common charac- 
teristics as weariness, the desire to be esteemed by 
one's contemporaries, and the predisposition to avoid 
making decisions which require analysis of values. 

Our slogans will ring true to the cynical as well as 
the indolent. "Down with Demonstrations," we will 
proclaim. "Resistance is Ridiculous." "There Is No 
Substitute for Somnolence." These catchy phrases 
having attracted the attention of a sizable audience, 
we can proceed to set forth the principles out of which 
APATHY evolved on the Millsaps campus. These prin- 
ciples are six in number: 

1. Passiveness is polite. This axiom was derived 
from the knowledge that political activism among stu- 
dents and consequent alterations of college policies is 
not part of Our Southern Way of Life. We feel that our 
teachers and administrators are doing us a favor by 
serving us. To assert that a college should be run in 
the manner which best suits the needs of the students 
instead of the manner which is most convenient for 
its employees is only rankest ingratitude. 

2. Antagonism is anathema. We are firmly com- 
mitted to the belief that the administration and faculty 
should function in loco parentis. We expect to be pro- 
tected by our elders from the vagaries of youthful 
radicalism. To rail against the established rules and 
procedures is to risk having something done about 
them — and who knows what might be the result of such 
an awesome alteration of the status quo. 

3. Only losers agitate. Just look at those students 
in that demonstration: long hair, sun glasses, army 
surplus jackets. You can tell just by their appearance 
that they are suffering from numerous mental aber- 
rations which have caused them to participate in ac- 
tivist movements; certainly they have no valid intel- 
lectual committment to the ideas they espouse. Ex- 
hibitionists and drop outs— that's what they are. Sure- 
ly none of us wish to be identified with such an ele- 
ment. 

4. Activists are out. APATHY requires that its 
members shun starters of petitions, holders of rallies, 
instituters of ad hoc discussion groups, importers of 
speakers who propose topics other that "God and You 
in a Changing World," and transfer students from col- 
leges wherein principles similar to those here ex- 
pressed are not cherished. 

5. Indifference insures acceptance. Too much in- 
formation concerning the operation of one's college 
seems to encourage organized student movements to 
improve that operation. To eliminate this possibility, 
APATHY members are pledged to avoid over- 
indulgence in the investigation of the administrative 
procedures, the curriculum, and the preparation of the 
faculty of this institution. We feel that exposes and 
critical comments which contain convincing details 
are in poor taste. Vague charges in occasional letters 
to the editor should be sufficient to allow the less well 
adjusted student to blow off steam. 

6. Extremism in support of inactivity is no vice. 
We reserve the right to publicly condemn and agitate 
against those students — both at Millsaps and in other 
colleges — who do not act in accordance with our 
principles. We also support extremism in that we are 
willing to endure any inconvenience or hindrance — 
social, physical, or intellectual — in a supine attitude. 
Let the infirmary be moved to a location even more 
inaccessible to the students; let one small parking lot 
be provided for four women's dorms; let the library 
close during holidays — we will accept these conditons 
not only willingly but even without undue attention. 

Once we have enunciated our principles, we should 
further impress our prospective converts with a de- 
scription of how consistently the Millsaps student body 
is able to carry out these aims. One of our prime 




examples should be that of the cafeteria and grill. 
Through the years there have been vague rumblings 
concerning the food service but APATHY has effec- 
tively squelched these. Thus, there has never been 
any real attempt to investigate fully why bad food, 
unsanitary conditions, and high prices must exist 
simultaneously. 

APATHY has also enjoyed great success in the 
field of rules for women students. The Women's Stu- 
dent Government Association's power to fix these reg- 
ulations is, for all practical purposes, absolute. Mind- 
ful of the cardinal virtues of indifference, submission, 
and passiveness, the girls have peacefully abdicated 
their right to petition the WSGA for a change of rules. 
Moreover, those affected almost never discuss — 
and much less challenge — such time-honored edicts as 
the ban on girls' wearing long pants or shorts on 
campus or the ten o'clock curfew. 

Even in extreme situations, Millsaps students are 
faithful to the principles of APATHY. Two years ago 
a panty raid much like those which are regular events 
on the campuses of innumerable colleges occurred at 
Founders Hall. When several boys who participated 
were suspended for a semester there were a few days 
of shocked disbelief, then a return to normal as Mill- 
saps students accepted the fate of the boys and 
eschewed panty raids altogether. 

This, then, shall be our approach as we attempt to 
spread our doctrine throughout the country. We may 
have a bit of difficulty winning converts, however, be- 
cause the tide of sentiment seems to be running 
against our cause. Just this month a quiet student 
movement resulted in the abandonment of room in- 
spection at Smith College. At the University of Penn- 
sylvania students have long been 'guaranteed due 
process in hearings before their student court. Grin- 
nell College indicates its interest in current problems 
by participating in televised teach-ins. Throughout the 
country so-called "free universities" are springing up 
in conjunction with established institutions to serve 
the needs of students and faculty members who feel 
that their ordinary curricula are too limiting. 

Our movement to spread APATHY may be quite 
strenuous, therefore; converts will be hard to come 
by. As a matter of fact, the whole project sounds 
much too arduous. Why don't we just stay at Millsaps 
and let each person support APATHY in his own way? 



New Enrollment 
Hits 5-Yr. Low 

This year's enrollment, ac- 
cording Registrar Paul Hard- 
in, boasts the lowest percent- 
age of non-returning students 
in the past five years. Sec- 
ond semester enrollment, be- 
cause of graduating, trans- 
ferring, failing, or with-draw- 
ing students, is usually low- 
er than that of first semester. 

Nine hundred four students 
dwindled to eight hundred 
forty in the academic year of 
1961-62 with a difference of 
sixty-four, or about 7%. The 
following year, 1962-63, there 
was a difference of fifty-six 
students, or approximately 
6.1%. The largest percentage 
of pupils who withdrew oc- 
curred in 1963 - 64 from eight 
hundred ninety-eight first se- 
mester to eight hundred thir- 
ty-three second semester with 
a 7.2%. In 1964-1965 the dif- 
ference was much less de- 
fined from seven hundred 
ninety-two students to seven 
hundred forty-two, or a 5.1%. 

However, this year marks 
the smallest percentage of all 
those mentioned. The number 
of Millsaps students first 
semester was eight hundred 
seventy - three, as compared 
with eight hundred forty-six 
this semester, or a small de- 
crease of 3.1%.

'Give Prohibition Fair Try; Repeal 
Black Market Tax And Enforce Law' 



By LANNY R. CARLSON 

It was interesting to read Mr. Carroll's plea for 
legalization of liquor in the February 24 P&W, and I 
wholeheartedly agree that the situation "as is exists 
in the state* ' is far from being desirable. But never- 
theless, there is another side to the story which must 
be considered carefully before any action is taken. 

Must Promise Control what amount of "control" 

We are all familiar with can we expect from the same 



"the danger of misuse of al- 
cohol, therefore any 
plea for legalization must hold 
out the promise of control, 
which necessarily implies a 
decrease in consumption. But 
what has history shown? Fig- 
ures from the Statistical Ab- 
stract of the United States 
clearly indicates that per 
capita consumption of 
distilled beverages immedi- 
ately after prohibition was 
62% lower than before prohi- 
bition, while malt liquor was 
down 47% and wine was down 
73%^fut what has happened 
since then, under a period of 
legalized liquor? Since 1935, 
malt liquor per capita con- 
sumption has increased 50%; 
and since 1930, distilled liquor 
consumption has increased 
94%, while per capita wine 
intake is 3070% higher than 
what it was in 1930! Amer- 
ica legalized liquor and Amer- 
ica got drunk. 

State-Owned Liquor 

Mr. Carroll, however, 
points to the idea of state- 
owned liquor stores as a sal- 
vation to all our problems. 
Canada had the same idea 
some years ago. The results? 
Between 1933 and 1948 drunk- 
enness increased 270%, boot- 
legging increased 170%, minor 
offenses increased 112%, and 
major crimes increased 27%! 
(Dept. of Trade and Com- 
merce, Ottawa). Clearly leg- 
alized liquor does not de- 
crease consumption, does not 
decrease crime, does not de- 
crease bootlegging. 

Invariably, these things in- 
crease whenever legalization 
is introduced, regardless of 

the amount of control 





government which Mr. Car- 
roll himself admits has turned 
its back on the situation. Is 
there any earthly reason to 
believe that those who "ac- 
cept payoffs to allow the 
mockery to continue" would 
not do the same in regard to 
any underage kid who came 
along? 

Facts Shocking 
And what about the old 
standby argument that legal- 
ization means more tax 
money? The facts are shock- 
ing. A report was prepared 
recently in Massachusetts, 
and these are the results: 
Massachusetts collects $13,- 
000,000 annually from liquor 
taxes. But it costs the state 
$61,000,000 annually to care 
for the crime, hospitalization, 
and poverty directly attributa- 
ble to alcohol, a net loss an- 
nually of $48,000,000. One won- 
ders if legalized liquor is real- 
ly worth spending $6 for ev- 
ery $1 brought in. 

Mississippi currently has 
one of the lowest crime rates 
in the nation; but legalized 
liquor inevitably leads to in- 
creased consumption which 
leads to increased crime, 
which leads to ever increas- 
ing social and economic prob- 
lems. Are we willing to pay 
that price? 

Solution Not Legalisation 
But what is the answer? 
Obviously "prohibition as H 
exists in the state does not 
work." But neither does legal- 
ized liquor seem to promise 
such a rosy future either. So 
before any action is 
way or the other, I 
must give prohibition a fair 
try. . . . 



LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS. 




I think the most important 
step is to repeal the most 
hypocritical bill in the history 
of mankind, the Black Market 
Tax. Passed as a means of 
providing a second strike 
against the bootlegger, "this 
provision did not authorize 
criminal prosecution", (Mis- 
sissippi Code, 1942, Vol. 2A, 
No. 2639), and has degen- 
erated instead into a type of 
legalized payoffs which makes 
it highly undesirable to de- 
stroy the bootlegger. Thus, 
Mississippi is operating a 
strange type of double stand- 
ard, taxing what is illegal and 
supporting it because it is 
taxable. 

Repeal Black Market 

The only sensible approach, 
then, as I see it is this: re- 
peal the Black Market Tax 
then stand up for firm en- 
forcement of the law. Then, 
if this does riot work, the peo : 
pie should decide once and 
for all what course they wish 
to pursue. Then, and only 
then, will the situation in Mis- 
sissippi attain a degree of 
sanity. 



$25,000 Given Finr 
ArtsBuildingFund 

A $25,000 memorial gift has 
been presented to Millsaps 
College for its Fine Arts 
Building fund. 

The gift was made by Mrs. 
C. R. Ridgway, Sr., of ack- 
son, a graduate of Whit worth 
College, and her son, C. R. 
Ridgway, also of Jackson. 
Memory Of Father 

The gift is in memory of 
Mrs. Ridgway's father, the 
Reverend William Bryant 
Lewis, and her three broth- 
ers, the Reverend Benjamin 
Franklin Lewis, the Reverend 
William Henry Lewis, and Dr. 
William Bryant Lewis. Mrs. 
Ridgway is the former Hattie 
Lewis. 



Officials hope to begin con- 
struction on the new $1,000,000 
fine arts center later this 
year. Approximately $200,000 
is needed before construction 
begins. The building will 
house the departments of 
speech-drama, music, and the 
visual arts and will be lo- 
cated on the east side of the 
campus between the sorority 
lodges and Whitworth - San- 
ders dormitories. 



Leaguers Inducted 



Jerry 

ship chairman of the 
terial League, inductc 
new members Tuesday night: 
Randy Bennett, a freshman 
from Pascagoula, and Russell 
Harmon, a freshman from 
Hattiesburg. Tom Matthews,

MATTERS 

MARIE SMITH 




WUS Faculty Waiter Night is coming up soon — 
Tuesday, in fact. Quite a number of students are look- 
ing forward to it with a slight touch of vindictive an- 
ticipation. It's the one night of the year when students 
can snap their fingers and watch the profs hop. (And 
profs, don't take it too hard. At the University of Geor- 
gia students had a chance to vent their spleen by 
throwing gooey pies in the faces of their 1 favorite* ' 
top dignitaries). Of course, students must throw in a 
little remuneration for the top class service they will 
receive Tuesday night. But take heart — the professors 
don't get to keep it. 

All of the money collected 
will go to World University 
Service. WUS is an interna- 
tional student service organ- 
ization helping foreign stu- 
dents to help themselves. In 
the past the WUS drive had 
been an annual event at Mill- 
saps, sponsored by the YWCA. 
But when that organization's 
power dwindled, so did the 
WUS Project. For the past 
two years Sue Munaker, na- 
tional campus representative 
for WUS, has been trying des- 
perately to rekindle some en- 
thusiasm among Millsaps stu- 
dents. Last year Tom Mat- 
thews volunteered to do what 
he could, but there was very 
little time for planning and 
organization, so Millsaps only 
contributed $126.

Y<3U - 



A recent report from the 
United Nations Education, 
Scientific, and Cultural Or- 
ganization has revealed that 
since 1957 the worldwide per- 
centage of persons five to 
nineteen not attending school 
has dropped from 59 percent 
to slightly over 50 



This year it looked as if the 
situation were going to be 
even worse. Miss Munaker 
spent several days on campus 
again, explaining the purpose 
of the organization, and urg- 
ing campus leaders to attempt 
to stir up some enthusiasm. 
Everyone listened; she asked 
for volunteers; and everyone 
listened. No one had time to 
work. Isn't it strange how we 
always have time to sit 
around in our little academic 
circles talking about love and 
>ut when the 
to express it, 
we just don't have time— or 
maybe we don't really care. 

But there was one person 
in the group of campus lead- 
ers who had the least time of 
all to sponsor the project — 
and you might know it, she's 
the very one who shouldered 
the responsibility. None other 
than Polly Dement, who is al- 
ready involved in scores of 
campus projects, but who is 
never afraid to take on just 
one more. And strangely 
enough, she carries out each 
of them as if it were the only 
thing she had to do. Miss De- 
ment has lined up a very 
capable and energetic com- 
mittee, so if we'll all pitch in 
and help, this could be the 



most successful WUS drive 
ever. 

Questions Answered 
Incidentally, several very 
important questions were 
raised to Miss Munaker by 
campus leaders: one was, 
does WUS operate in Com- 
munist countries? The answer 
is no. World University Serv- 
ices refuses to turn the funds 
over to the government, but 
sends them directly to the 
project instead. For this rea- 
son WUS was forced to leave 
countries which have become 
Communist-controlled. 

Another point raised was 
whether or not WUS is simply 
another charity organization. 
Miss Munaker stressed that 
WUS only supplies money to 
the university after the uni- 
versity itself supplies at least 
50 percent of the amount 
needed. 

She went into great detail 
describing last summer's 
workcamp in Seoul, in which 
some 70 international students 
participated. She very vividly 
described one scene in which 
a line of students several 
blocks long waited for hours 
to take their turn using the 
meager library facilities. How 
often we find it necessary to 
struggle with ourselves 
at least 15 to 30 minutes prior 
to a visit to the Millsaps- 
Wilson! 

Education Important 

Miss Munaker emphasized 
very strongly that students 
not merely contribute a dollar 
or so to the drive, but that we 
make an effort to study and 
educate ourselves to the in- 
ternational situation and the 
purpose of WUS. For this rea- 
son the regional director in 
Atlanta is flying here to ad- 
dress us in chapel Tuesday. 

This project is a chance to 
show that Millsaps really is 
alive and that we care. So 
let's make the WUS drive a 
great success! 

And the poor booth, its 
stuffings lewdly 
fers on . . . 



MSM Conference Scheduled Here 

Mississippi Methodist Student Movement (MSM) will 
hold its state conference at Millsaps on March 11-13. The 
theme for the conference is "The Church and Change." Dr. 
Claude Evans, chaplain at Southern Methodist University 
in Dallas, will be the featured speaker. Other highlights of 
the conference will be election and installment of officers, 
a special film "The Parable", discussing groups, worship 
programs, and a book sale. 

Anyone interested in participating in the MSM Con- 
ference should contact Sherry Monk. Total registration 
cost is $2.50.

Symposium: "A Date At Millsaps or Where The Cold Wind Blows' 




By AYME ONLIE HIDDEN 

He was always cold 

though the land of gold 
Seemed to hold him like 

a spell; 
And he'd often say in his 

homely way 
That he'd sooner live in 

hell." 

— "The Cremation of Sam 
McGee" 
Robert W. Service 

Bzzz- bzzz- bzzz. bzzz- bzz. 
Click! 

"Dad-burned females. How 
in the world do they expect 
for you to call them if they're 
on the phone all the time?" 

The frustrated young man 
took the nickle out of the re- 
turn slot and deposited it into 
the phone again and slapped 
the coin return lever with a 
single motion. 

"Click - ding." 

Then he dialed the number 
again. B d r r r r p. Bdrrrrp. 
Bdrnrp. 

"Franklin Hall." 

"Oh," he is somewhat taken 
aback, "may I speak to Dot 
Dos well, please." 

"Just a minute." 

Five minutes pass. 

"Hello?" 

"Dot?" 

"Yes." 

"Howya doin\ this is Irv- 
ing Rabidowitz." 



'Oh, hello, Irving, how are 
you?" 

"Fine. Listen Dot, I thought 
you might like to go to the 
big dance with me next 
month. " 

In an apologetic tone she 
responds almost automatical- 
ly. "Oh Irving, I'd love to, 
but I'm going polar bear 
hunting in Afghanistan with 
my neighbor-irnlaw that week- 
end. Sorry." 

-Oh— uh— OK, Dot. Happy 
hunting. Maybe some other 
time." 

"Bye." 

"Bye, Irving." 

The next day Sherry Bar- 
rett is sitting in the grill with 
37 KA's. How to go about this, 
thinks Irving. He runs into 
the cloak room and yells at 
the top of his lungs, "Hey, 
look! Robert E. Makamson is 
burning a Confederate 
flag!" 

After the dust has settled, 
Irving sneaks into the grill 
and sits down at a neighbor- 
ing table. He spells out 
"HOWYA DOING SHERRY" 
with one dollar bills. She 
comes over and sits with him. 
Wistfully she is about to say 
yes, when Mick Dinkleberry 
walks into the grill. He is in 
a rotten humor. He had to 
help take the body down from 
the tree. Sherry senses this 
and tells Irving that she has 
other plans. 

Not to be discouraged, how- 
ever, Irving goes into the 
cafeteria. Maybe the pickin's 
are better there. Redrose von 
Climax, O'Hara Fish; Pat 
Fakee and Wendy Wreems 
are sitting together at a very 
conspicuous table in the mid- 
dle of the room. 

"Well, count them out," 
thinks Irving. "Those stuck- 
up girls are Byrds of a 
feather, anyhow. n 

On the way back to his 




CASTRO ON MILLSAPS CAMPUS?! — Nope, it's just ole Steve 
Miles getting ready for the Kappa Alpha Old South Ball, 
March 1112. Steve's message to the world is, "Nunca 
de fumar un cigarro de carton!" 



dormitory, Irving sees Mary 
Ann McAce going to debate 
class. "That's out too," thinks 
Irving. "Every since she 
made a 3.00 she's been impos- 
sible to live with." 

Upon arriving at his room, 
Irving is getting desperate. 
He takes the campus direc- 
tory out, opens it to a page, 
at random and tacks it up on 
the door. Then he gets out 
his set of darts and throws 
one at the open page. 
Ironically the shaft falls upon 
the name of a Phi Mu: Anita 
Wall. 

"What rotten luck! She's al- 
ready been dropped." 

Several hours later, Irving 
thinks of Lee Wryland. After 
calling the dormitory he finds 
out that she is spending the 
weekend at Vanderbilt. You 
lose again, Irving. 

As the days go by, Irving 
can't figure it out. What's 
with these girls, anyhow? He 
had asked Karen Wax out but 
she said she was going to 
Paris! (Of course she neg- 
lected to tell him that it was 
the Island). Marie Smythe 
has been Buffalo hunting for 
several months and Susan Mc- 
Cow vascilates between Mill- 
saps and Ole Miss about as 
often as Chicken Varner has a 
date— which is pretty dern of- 
ten. He would ask Robbie 
Lord but he would have to 
throw money around like Bill 
Bridgeway to make her 
happy. 

Well, to make a long story 
short, when the night of the 
dance rolls around, Irving will 
end up engaged in a card 
game in the dorm manager's 
room at Ezelle Hall or out at 
Jack Mack's watching "Man 
From U.N.C.L.E." in color 
and 42,012 girls will be in 
the dormitory with nothing to 
do. 

Still, Irving, some of our 
girls would do well to remem- 
ber the motto of Richard M. 
Nixon: "He who leaves the 
door open may end up in a 
draft." But then up against 
some of them a "draught" 
would be an improvement. 
There are some other mighty 
good-looking Fisch in the sea, 
you know. 

But then, if you get pinned 
or dropped, you will most as- 
suredly get your name in the 
famous social column of the 
PURPLE AND WHITE (of 
course since the new admis- 
sions policy went into effect 
the WHITE part is purely a 
relative literary term). We 
are reminded however of 
what Mike Stienho's mother 
told him when he got his pic- 
ture in the paper as manager 
of the Canary Hockey Team: 
'Mike, you the firsta boy inna 
family whata getta name inna 
the paper and no killa some- 
body." It is a dubious honor 
to say the least. That Susan 
Hacklemore is on the ball 
though. Last week she even 
got something on the stainless 
reputation of the Political 
Editor. 

But then, again, the reason 
the Old Fox thought the 
grapes were sour, was be- 
cause the Price he had to pay 
for them was too high. For 
what there was, it was too 
Furr to go anyway. 



EDITOR'S NOTE: If you 
have read this far you are to 
be commended. For those of 
you who escaped this little 
exercise in liable; don't rest 
too easy — your day may 
come. But if you noticed the 
byline on this week's 
SYMPOSIUM is not that of 
the usual writer. I cannot 
take full credit for this week's 
column. I was aided and abet- 
ted by others who sug- 
gested a name now and again. 
No malice was intended to 
anyone — but as with any 
SYMPOSIUM, you can take it 
as you like. We enjoyed writ- 
ing it — we hope you weren't 
offended in reading it.— R.G.

'Cause Of Peace' Is A 'Hunk Of Butter* 



Editor's Note: It's not ev- 
ery day that one walks to the 
P&W mail box to find a dig- 
nified-looking envelope bear- 
ing a picture of a floppy- 
cared rabbit nestling atop the 
initials H.M.H. But alas, it was 
only a news release, which we 
ordinarily would not release, 
except that the interview with 
the staffs hearts. So here are 
a few excerpts: 



On Protest songs, Bob com- 
ments, "I've stopped compos- 
ing and singing anything that 
has either a reason to be writ- 
ten or a motive to be sung. 
The word 'protest,* I think 
was made up for people un- 
dergoing surgery. The word 
'message' strikes me as hav- 
ing a hernialike sound. It's 
just like the word 'delicious.' 
Also the word 'marvelous.' 
You know, the English can 
say 'marvelous' pretty good. 
They can't say 'raunchy' so 
good, though. Anyway, mes- 
sage songs, everybody knows, 
are a drag. It's only college 
newspaper editors and single 
girls under 14 that could pos- 
sibly have time for them. You 
have got to respect other peo- 
ple's right to also have a mes- 
sage themselves. Myself, 
what I'm going to do is rent 
Town Hall and put about 30 
Western Union boys on the 
bill. I mean, then there'll real- 
ly be some messages. Peo- 
ple will be able to come and 
hear more messages than 
they've ever heard before in 
their life." 

'Cause' Pointless 

In answer to the question, 
"Is it pointless to dedicate 
oneself to the cause of peace 
and racial equality?" Bob re- 
plied, "Not pointless to dedi- 
cate yourself to peace and 
racial equality, but rather, 
it's pointless to dedicate your- 
self to the cause: that's really 
pointless. To say 'cause of 
peace' is just like saying 
4 hunk of butter.' I mean, how 
can you listen to anybody who 
wants you to believe he's ded- 
icated to the hunk and not to 



the butter? People who can't 
conceive of how others hurt, 
they're trying to change the 
world. They're all afraid to ad- 
mit that they don't really 
know each other. 

On the burning of draft 
cards to protest war, he said, 
''Burning draft cards isn't go- 
ing to end any war. It's not 
even going to save any lives. 
If someone can feel more 
honest with himself by burn- 
ing his draft card, then that's 
great; hut if he's just going 
to feel more important be- 
cause he does it, then that's 
a drag. 

Bunch Of Fat People 

On folk music: "Folk mu- 
sic is a bunch of fat people. 
I have to think of all this as 
traditional music. All these 
songs about roses growing out 
of people's brains and lovers 
who are really geese and 
swans that turn into angels — 
they're not going to die. It's 
all those paranoid people who 
think that someone's going to 
come and take away their 
toilet paper— they're going to 
die. 

On the far-out hair styles of 
some of today's male singers: 
"The thing that most people 
don't realize is that it is 
warmer to have long hair. Ev- 
erybody wants to be warm. 
People with short hair freeze 
easily. Then they try to hide 
their coldness, and they get 
jealous of everybody that's 
warm. Then they become ei- 
ther barbers or Congressmen.

Editor's Note: Osborne's 
play LUTHER will be pre- 
sented by the Millsaps 
Players March 16-19. 

The age of the Angry Young 
Men has passed ; in the midst 
of the praise that was heaped 
up on Nicol Williamson's per- 
formance as Bill Maitland in 
John Osborne's new play, In- 
admissable Evidence, there 
was at least the suspicion of 
a hint that Osborne's famous 
anger had deteriorated to fu- 
tility. To those of us who had 
the experience of seeing or 
the privilege of working with 
his play of a decade ago, 
Look Back in Anger, that an- 
ger was a real, if somewhat 
dated thing. 

Osborne's Anger 
The upcoming offering of 
the Millsaps Players, Luther, 
is an example of the other 
side of Osborne's anger — the 
side of self-doubt and strug- 
gle, of fear and trembling. As 
if in answer to the recent 
"God is dead" controversy, 
Martin Luther in the face of 
excommunication by the pope 
asks, "My God, my God, do 
you hear me? Are you dead? 
. . .No, you can't die, you 
can only hide yourself, can't 
you?. . .Give me life, O Lord. 
Give me life." .It seems to the 
present writer that the play 
is a portrait of the Martin 
Luther who had to make an 
existential leap of faith in or- 
der to negate the absurdities 
into which the Church had 
fallen, a reaction stimulated 
by his anger with the abuses 
of Tetzel but requiring the 
agony of the "dark night of 
the soul" for completion. 
Foul-Mouthed Monk 
Osborne's Luther can be 
said to be another version of 
his Jimmy Porter, a "foul- 
mouthed monk" whose viscer- 
al orientation and capacity 
for perspiration are his au- 
thor's way of portraying the 
acedia or "malady of 
monks", the "spleen" which 
has grown as a literary and 
philosophical concept into the 
angst of the existentialists. He 
struggles against the system 
and against the self that can- 



not fit into the system, and 
in doing so discovers his doc- 
trine of justification by faith. 

But why does Martin accept 
his father's views regarding 
child-rearing ("There's only 
one way of going 4 up you* to 
Old Nick when he does come 
for you and that's when you 
show him your kids.") at the 
end of the play? His relation- 
ship with his father is not 
ideal, to say the least, but 
there are elements in his fa- 
ther's practical nature that 
become apparent in Martin's 
mature attitudes. Osborne 
seems to be saying to us that 
even though Luther came full 
circle, his traveling along the 
circumference was necessary 
for an understanding of him- 
self. 

Pre - Renaissance Decadence 

Osborne has been ridiculing 
the church for years; Luther 
is no exception. His portrai- 
ture of the pope is a perfect 
picture of the pre - Renais- 
sance decadence of the 
Church, and Tetzel is almost 
the stoch representation of 
the charlatan of faith. But I 
would contend that his Mar- 
tin Luther, as the central 
character of the play, is made 
real in his struggle for faith 
because perhaps Osborne in- 
tended to show the responsi- 
bility of Everyman to meet 
his own faith face to face. 
Again from the play: 

CAJETAN: We live in thick 
darkness, and it grows thick- 
er. How will men find God if 
they are left to themselves, 
each man abandoned and only 
known to himself? 

MARTIN: They'll have to 
try. 

—the plight of twentieth- 
century man whose depend- 
ence on himself has aroused 
the cry that God is dead. 



The United States has 53 

percent of the world's motor 
vehicles, but only 29 percent 
of the highway deaths. Traf- 
fic accidents throughout the 
world kill more than 150,000 
people each year, cause 5,- 
000,000 injuries and monetary 
losses of about $20 billion. 



SOCIAL SCOOPS 




FROM FILE 




SUSAN McLEMORK 




Society Editor 





To begin this monstrosity of 
a column, let me apologize for 
the rather cutting comment I 
made about the Rooks. They 
were not bad at all— just a 
SLIGHT bit loud, but not bad 
at all. 

Congratulations to Terri- 
anne Walters, a Kappa Delta, 
who is pinned to Carl 
Bush, a Pike; and to Julie 
Lasater, a Chi Omega, who 
is dropped to Bill Mattox, an 
SAE at Mississippi State. 

The Kappa Sigs have a cou- 
ple of new pledges — Jerry 
Pearson and Gus Rushing. 
Congratulations. 

The social life on the cam- 
pus of the Big "M" (that's 
T for Millsaps) appears to 
be looking up! The Sir 



las Quintet will be here to 
provide harmonious sounds 
from their melodious throats 
at the Greek Week Dance! We 
may even be allowed to have 
the big dance somewhere be- 
sides the cafeteria. Imagine 
that! 

I did not see the Trouba- 
dours on television Saturday, 
but from what I heard they 
were really great— as usual. 

The Pikes celebrated their 
Founders Day Sunday with an 
open house. I hope everyone 
attended. 

This is actually all the news 
I know this week. If I have 
left anything out, please tell 
me or one of the folks I men-

Student Teaching — Millsaj^ Style 

'Ever Dissected A Human Being 7 



By Dianne 

Spring semester is the time 
when the long awaited oppor- 
tunity to begin student teach- 
ing arrives for many Millsaps 
seniors. Students who will re- 
ceive a secondary certificate 
to teach in a particular field, 
as well as those majoring in 
elementary education, apply 
to student teach under the 
capable direction of Dr. R. 
E. Moore, head of the Mill- 
saps education department. 
Each student is required to 
teach two hours a day for an 
entire semester in an accred- 
ited school. For this, one will 
receive six hours of academ- 
ic credit. 

It is possible at the present 
to obtain, a job teaching in a 
Mississippi school without 
having previously completed 
the student teaching require- 
ment. However, one's salary 
is lowered for the first two 
years because of the lack of 
experience involved in stu- 
dent teaching. 

Crutches Helter Skelter 
The first week is usually 
spent in observation. The stu- 
dent teacher gets to know the 
teacher with whom he will be 
working and the students as 
well. One Millsaps student 
teacher experienced a hectic 
first few weeks due to an in- 
jured knee. Hobbling along to- 
ward the stairs on her crutch- 
es one day, she was quickly 
approached by a concerned 
teacher, who said: "Use the 
elevator, dear. It's for crip- 
ples!" Later on during the 
same week our "crippled" 
student teacher was walking 
down the hall and felt the 
book under her arm slipping. 
By coincidence only, two boys 
on crutches were standing 
nearby. All three made a 
grab for the book as all six 
crutches flew into the air. 
Giggly Students 
The student teacher also 
helps with assignments and 
lab sessions. A male mathe- 
matics major who was teach- 
ing in a high school math 
class saw that one of the 
young females in his class 
was having trouble with a 
problem. As any good student 
teacher should, our Millsaps 
In bewilderment, he relates 
that she began to giggle and 
he simply couldn't get any- 



student rushed over to assist, 
where in explaining the prob- 
lem. We trust that this is not 
an indication of how our 
young teacher will affect his 
own class if he gets one). 

Helping in a biology lab 
with the dissection of a frog 
another student teacher was 
asked in all seriousness by a 
student, "Have you ever dis- 
sected a human being?" 
Quickly explaining that she 
had not and would not, our 
teacher was amazed to ob- 
serve that her young high 
school pupil seemed more 
than a little disappointed. 
Other Side Of Desk 

Student teaching really 
takes place when one is lit- 
erally on the other side of the 
desk — actual classroom in- 
struction. Much preparation 
and practice precedes each 
lecture. One student teacher 
had been told by her class- 
room teacher to lecture on 
Chaper 22 in the history class 
on the following day. The reg- 
ular teacher had to be ab- 
sent, but he was confident 
that his Millsaps protege 



would do an excellent job. 
Ready to begin a brilliant 
lecture, our young man asked 
his students to open their 
books to Chapter 22. Imme- 
diately the class was in a 
mild uproar, if any high 
school crisis can be mild. 
"We haven't discussed Chap- 
ter 21!" Indeed they had not 
covered Chapter 21 and nei- 
ther had the student teacher! 

The student teacher is al- 
ways plagued by questions— 
often minute things of which 
he knows nothing and often of 
a very general nature. Such 
is the case in the government 
class in one of the local Jack- 
son high schools. After a lec- 
ture on political parties, a stu- 
dent lrom Millsaps was asked 
calmly, "Would you explain 
all the differences in the Re- 
publican and the Democratic 
parties?" 

Student teaching is not all 
fun or headaches. Although it 
does require much hard work 
and preparation, the student 
teacher reaps many rewards 
as he learns what teaching 
really is.

own Jeanne Burnett clutching a high school English book to

By REID BINGHAM 

As the tempo of action picked up Kappa Sigma 
moved into a tie for first place with Kappa Alpha 
setting the stage for a showdown for first place be- 
tween the only two undefeated teams in the league. 

Kappa Sigma opened the Lambda Wins 

week with a quick win over The second game of the 
the Independents. The Sigs wee k saw Lambda Chi Alpha 

outlast the "M" Club 38-31. 
The action was close with the 
first quarter ending in a 12-12 
tie but the Chi's got on top 
and held their lead for the 
rest of the game. David pow- 
the honors as high 
16 tallies for the 
Chi's followed by Danny Nelly 
of the "M" Club with 13. 

Sigs Win Again 

Kappa Sigma took their 
fourth win at the expense of 
Lambda Chi Alpha 82-30. The 
Sigs started slow but soon 
picked up momentum to score 
over 20 points a quarter. Joe 
Bennett and Frank Mc- 
Eachern led the Sigs scoring 
drive with 25 and 17 points 
respectively. David Powers, 
fouling out early in the third 
quarter, lead the Chi'«s with 
11 



led the entire game jumping 
off to a quick start. The In- 
dependents kept the game 
close in the first quarter, but 
were left behind in the second 
quarter going into the half 15 
points behind. Rod Bartlett 
was high scorer for the eve- 
ning with 20 points followed 
closely by Gene Horton with 
17, both for the Sigs.

The Independents scored 
their first win 35-32 over the 
Pikes. The Independents 
trailed the first three quarters 
then rallied in the fourth 
quarter behind Sam Rush in a 
19 point surge. The Pikes took 
early control of the game but 
went cold in the third quarter 
and couldn't stop the Inde- 
pendent rally in the fourth 
quarter. Murf Evans was high 
point man with 17 points for 
the Pikes. 

KA's Win 
The week wound up on a 
surprising note with the Pikes 
holding the KA's to 43 points 
in a 43-14 Kappa Alpha win. 
Playing slow down tactics the 
Pikes held the first quarter 
score to 6-2. The KA's came 
back to loosen the game a 
little but could only average 
a little over 10 points a quar- 
ter. Jimmy Gentry led the 
KA's with 12 points followed 
by Tommy Davis and Joe 
Bailey with 10 apiece.

Spring Game 

Smiles will once again 
cross the faces of our beloved 
football team as they take 
the field tomorrow afternoon 
to conclude their spring train- 
ing program with an intra- 
squad game. All seriousness 
aside though, these men have 
really enjoyed those afternoon 
workouts and I am sure that 
the locker room will be a sad 
place as they turn in their 
uniforms. Only the knowledge 
that they will be able to don 
them once again in August 
will lift their spirits. 

Head coach Harper Davis 
has named last year's start- 
ing quarterback, Danny 
Neely, to lead one team. Half- 
back Edwin Massey will call 
the signals for the opposing 
team. This game will give 
us an opportunity to take a 
look at next year's team in 
action. Plan to be on hand to 
cheer the Majors on to their 
first victory of an undefeated

Jackson State made their 
Mississippi Coliseum debut by 
beating Grambling College 
88-86. This event, witnessed 
by more than five thousand 
basketball fans, must be 
called one of the most excit- 
ing contests ever played in 
the coliseum. 

Grambling College came to 
Jackson ranked second among 
American Small Colleges. All- 
American Johnny Comeaux 
had been their sparkplug 
throughout the season with 
his thirty point average. 

Giants Battle 
Both teams had at least 
three men over 6*8" in height. 
This battle of the giants was 
really a sight to see. Jackson 
State won this battle as they 
cleared 72 rebounds while 
Grambling only managed to 
grab 48. This advantage 
made up for their cold foul 
shooting. 

Despite the fact that Aaron 
Sellers missed nine free 
throws in succession, State's 
Tigers managed to stay in the 
game on the strength of Ed 
Manning's 20 rebounds and 24 
points. Charles "Little Red"

winners while captivating the 
audience with bis ball control

Face Readers, IBM Dates, Coke 
Champs Capture Campus Spotlight 



By LINDSAY MERCER 
Exchange Editor 

Facial features can reveal 
the total personality, says the 
Student Print* of the Univer- 
sity of Southern Mississippi at 
Hattiesburg. Some people be 
lieve that one can tell what a 
person is like by "reading" 
his face. This is called phren- 
ology. Recent scientific re- 
search discounts the claims of 
phrenology; yet many people 
believe it. Here are some de- 
scriptions found in a phrenol- 
ogy book. If the forehead is 
fairly high, then the person 
has better-than-average intel- 
ligence and an excellent 
memory. The lower the fore- 
head the less the intelligence. 

Watch out for a person who 
never looks straight into your 
eyes. Depend upon the one 
with clear, steady eyes. Blue 
eyes denote a flirt; green 
eyes, jealousy; brown eyes, 
friendliness. The typical "go- 
getter" is suggested by a big 
broad nose. A nose that is 
straight and long denotes an 
easy-going personality. A tiny 
one means lack of energy. If 
ears are small and lie close 
to the head, it signifies a re- 
fined and delicate nature. 
Large ears indicate a domi- 
nating person. Lips which are 
thick show an amorous dispo- 
sition; thin, pale ones denote 
a cruel nature. Of course 
these are not true, are they?

quire applicants to submit 
their scores on the National 
Teacher Examinations are 
eligible to take the tests. The 
examinations are prepared 
and administered by Educa- 
tional Testing Service, 
Princeton, New Jersey. 

The designation of Millsaps 
as a test center for the ex- 
aminations will give prospec- 
tive teachers in this area an 
opportunity to compare their 
performance on the examina- 
tions with those of candidates 
throughout the country who

become a successful part of 
most eastern universities. For 
fifty cents students can buy 
computer cards to be filled 
out with information on their 
interests, likes and dislikes, 
and type of date preferred. 
The dance will be divided into 
four thirty-minute segments. 
Each person will have a half 
hour with each partner to get

A Meridian High School 
football standout has been 
awarded a Diamond Anniver- 
sary Scholarship to Millsaps

tackle for the Wildcat eleven. 
A two-year letterman, Bryant 
excelled on both offense and 
defense as a member of the 
varsity for Meridian. 

A leader in academic per-

with honoraries extending membership to 126. 

After an introduction by ODK president Jim Gab- 
bert, Mr. Paul Hardin awarded the scholarship tro-

Play Nears 
Last Days 
Of Practice 

By HENRY CHATHAM 

Rehearsals are rolling along 
with their characteristic thun- 
der in a hidden cloister of the 
Christian Center. And the 
Millsaps Players* stage pro- 
duction of "Luther" prepares 
to open. 

The curtain rises Wednes- 
day, March 16, for the third 
dramatic production of the 
year at Millsaps. "Luther" 
has traveled a long and 
glorious road since its world 
premiere at the Paris Fes- 
tival in 1961. It was presented 
then played at the Edinburgh 
Festival and returned to Lon- 
don's Phoenix theatre. Amer- 
ica first glimpsed the play 
through the eyes of Broadway 
when 'Luther" opened at the 
St. James Theatre in New 
York on September 25, 1963. 
Luther As Human 
The story is of Martin 
Luther as a human being, yet 
at times history presents it- 
self fuH face and a "quest for 
the historical Luther" comes 
alive. From his days as an 
iconoclastic monk «o his de- 
fiant proclamation of the 05 
Thesis at the Diet of Worms, 
from his schism with the hum- 
ble peasants he loved in the 
Peasants' Revolt to his final 
emergance as a hero of all 
the German people, Martin

Services Offered For JPE Failees 

All Junior Proficiency Exam failees are being offered 
special services, according to Robert Padgett, acting chair- 
man of the English department. 

The papers of students who failed the exam have been 
divided among the members of the English department as 
follows: A-B— Mrs. Blackwell; C D— Mrs. Goodman; E-Mc 
-Dr. Hathaway; Ma-Sk— Miss Morehead; and Sm-W— Mr. 
Padgett. 

Each student is urged to see the professor who has his 
paper and go over it carefully with him. According to 
Padgett, the paper has been adjudged failing by at least 
two readers. He feels that it is very important that stu- 
dents know why they failed. 

After discussing the paper with the professor, the stu- 
dent will be invited to make arrangements with him for 
remedial study and writing on a tutorial basis. Padgett 
said, "We offer this Service gladly, but it is the student's 
responsibility to let us know that he wants it." 

A special administration of the junior English pro- 
ficiency exam will take place during the first week of May 
for any seniors who have not yet passed it. This will be the 
last administration of the examination until next Novem- 
ber. The exact date and location of the examination will 
be posted on the Registrar's bulletin board about the mid- 
dle of April 



semester to be 1.465. The 
men had a 1.335 average and 
the women a 1.610. 

Runner-up fraternity for the 
trophy were the Lambda Chi 
Alphas with a 1.452, while the 
Pikes took home the cup with 
a 1.661. 

Second place sorority was 
Kappa Delta with 1.714, and 
in first place was Chi Ome- 
ga with 1.724. 

Sigma Lambda 
Sigma Lambda, the leader- 
ship organization which repre- 
sents the ultimate achieve- 
ment for a Millsaps woman, 
tapped four. These are Les- 
lie Jeanne Floyd, Ann Han- 
son, Kathy Hymers, and Ma- 
rie Smith. Sherry Monk is 
president of this honorary. 

Omicron Delta Kappa, the 
national leadership honorary 
for men, recognizes outstand- 
ing men on campus on the 
basis of service, leadership 
and character in five areas: 
scholarship, student govern- 
ment, social and religious or- 
ganizations, athletics, publica- 
tions, and arts. The tappees 
were Freddy Davis, Henry 
Chatham, Glen Graves, San- 
dy Sandusky, and Ronald 
Goodbread. 



.npna Epsilon Delta 

The first honorary to top 
was Alpha Epsilon Delta, a 
pre - medical fraternity. The 
organization's president, Bill 
Mayfield, announced the new 
tappees were Floyd Bond, Mi- 
chael Casey, Lynn Coleman, 
Dot Greer, Nancy Lawhon, 
Sue Ann Lowery, Clyde Wat- 
kins, Thomas Wooldridge, Vic 
Yawn, Ronnie Bentley, and 
Sarah McDavid. 

Next, Alpha Psi Omega, 
with George Morrison as pres- 
ident, tapped Linda Wright, 
Mike Allen, Shirley Caldwell, 
Laura Trent, Joe Ellis, James 
McGahey, Joe Miklas, Henry 
Chatham, and Richard Rob- 
bine. For membership one 
must be an effective partici- 
pant in the Millsaps Players. 

A new honorary, Chi Chi 
Chi, which recognizes excel- 
lence in chemistry, tapped 
six. Rod Bartlett, president, 
announced the tappees to be 
Michael Casey, Erwyn Free- 
man, Danny Harvey, Sue

and Sara McDavid.

Plan Ahead For Fun Summer 



About the only consolation for the 
realization that another exam time is 
stealthily creeping closer and closer is 
the concomitant assurance that with 
the consummation of exams, summer 
will be upon us. And with summer, three 
entire months of vacation. 

Vacation? 

That's what they call it, but those 
days when the summer was spent in 
leisure down by the icy creek with a 
fishing pole or lounging around on the 
beach with a bottle of sun tan oil are 
virtually gone for those whose financial 
obligations have necessitated more 
serious considerations. 

Or have they? 

Flash goes the brain and little voice 
hidden within the deep recesses of some- 
where whispers, "Why give up fun for 
profit when you can combine the two?" 
Is it mountain climbing beach comb- 
ing, swimming, participating in dramat- 
ics, painting sunsets, helping construct 
magnificent buildings, or laughing and 
frolicking with children that tickles the 
imagination and thrills the soul? Why 
not start planning now and be sure to get 
a summer job that entails whatever 
one's particular fancies prefer. 

Scores of different types of jobs for 
students are available from Jackson, 
Mississippi to Hell, Michigan to Voort- 
chrizsen, Holland. But there is no time 
for delay in getting in applications. 

The following list of the most im- 
portant facts one should tell prospsctive 



summer employers, as revealed in re- 
plies from a questionnaire sent out by 
Directory Service, Cincinnati, Ohio, 
should be very helpful. 

1) What is your past work experience 
and training? 

2) Are you willing to work and coop- 
erate with others? 

3) Are you mature, punctual? Do you 
exercise good judgment? 

4) What is your age? (Minimum age is 
of most concern). 

5) What dates are you available to 
work? If applying to a resort, the 
sooner you can report and the later 
you can stay, the better. 

6) Give three or four good references. 
Please, no friends or relatives. 
Teachers or faculty members and 
former employers are the best. 

7) Give assurance that you will fulfill 
your work contract until the end of 
the working period. 

8) Be pleasant and cheerful. 

9) State any special skills you have — 
something you can do or can teach 
others to do. 

10) Give your reasons for wanting a 
summer job 
Armed with these TEN DO's of get- 
ting a summer job, optimism, and plenty 
of determination, good results are inevi- 
table — with opportunities oozing through- 
out the nation and abroad, there are sim- 
ply no excuses for a "bum summer." 
Good luck!— M.S. 



LETTERS TO 
THE EDITOR 

Thanks Students 

Dear Editor: 

I asked Dean Christmas if 
he had any suggestions as to 
how I might thank the men 
who offered to give blood for 
me when I was ill. He said 
I might write you a note and 
ask if you would put a notice 
in the next issue of the P&W. 

I am writing notes to the 
men who actually gave blood, 
because I know who they are. 
The hospital blood bank did 
not keep a list of those who 
offered but did not give when 
they had received sufficient 
blood to fill my need. Of 
course I want to let them 
know that I appreciate it just 
as much as if they had given. 

I am much better and hope 
to return to my desk before 
long. 

Sincerely, 
Martha Galtney

Dizzy Author Writes Parody On College 

Going Around In Academic Circles: A Low View Of Higher 
Education, a recently published book by Richard Armour, 
gives the inside spoof of the American College. 

The book is a rollicking parody of a complete college 
catalogue. Included in the uniquely written work is a com- 
prehensive guide to the financial aid which will be of help 
to all needy students: For example, he says, "Financial aid 
takes many forms, all of them involving money. There are, 
for example, scholarships. One of these is the Henry M. 
Humplemeyer, established by Henry M. Humplemeyer in 
Memory of Henry M. Humplemeyer, available to any worthy 
and needy student of good character who comes from North 
Dakota, has a mole on his right cheek, and is under five 
feet tall." Sounds indispensable, huh? 

Richard Armour's other books include Twisted Tales 
From Shakespeare and American Lit Relit. 

The book can be ordered from McGraw-Hill Book Com- 
pany; 330 West 42nd Street; New York, N.Y. 10036.

Tornado Eyewitness Report 

Miracles Just Didn't 
Far Enough 

Weems' sister would probably 
be dead now. As it is, all these 
Millsaps students and .their 
families are very lucky. 

Others were not quite so 
fortunate. Like the lady whose 
son was testing his new go- 
cart in the parking lot of Can- 
dlestick Park. Or the parents 
who got their high school son 
a job at the Dog 'n 'Suds after 
school. The escape from 
death seemed miraculous at 
times, but the miracle wasn't 
quite big enough — didn't 
spread quite far enough. The 
story of the worker who saw 
a child's shoe buried in the 
rubble and pulled it and the 
attached leg out became com- 
mon-place as the work wore 
on, and night was slowly re- 
placed by early morning. 
The cleanup was complicated 
by spectators who, despite re- 
peated pleas by all those in- 
volved, flocked to see the 
carnage. The reporter direct- 
ed traffic in front of his house 
just down the street from 
Candlestick Park for a half- 
hour and saw only one police 
car, one truck with a work 
crew, and two neighbors. Al- 
though some chipped in to 
help, the majority of these 
spectators did nothing but 
hinder entrance and egress of 
emergency vehicles. This 
may have been the real trage- 
dy of the night. 

Thank Gods 
Despite all this, despite tor- 
nadoes and bloodthirsty spec- 
tators and all, south Jackson 
was extremely lucky no more 
lives were lost. Many narrow- 
ly escaped death and injury, 
and a few even lived through 
the direct impact at Candle- 
stick Park. All in all, after 
the disaster, more people 
were thanking their personal 
gods for their good fortune 



By BILL LAMB 

It was Thursday afternoon, 
March 3, around 4:30 p.m. 
that the tornado struck south 
Jackson. It's common knowl- 
edge by now. Most Millsaps 
students could describe the 
path of the tornado, the mil- 
lions of dollars of damage, 
and the number of death with- 
out having to even concen- 
trate; these facts and statis- 
tics have been reported again 
and again by local, national, 
and international news media. 
Many students have seen 
photographs of the wreckage 
and a number visited the 
scene Thursday night or early 
Friday morning. But few 
seem to s e n s e the implica- 
tions in the reaction to this 
destruction. 

A house was torn off its 
foundations and turned upside 
down in its own front yard. 
It was occupied by a young 
mother and her five-year-old 
son at the time; neither was 
hurt. A 225-pound policeman 
was picked up and carried 
over a thousand feet in the 
air; he didn't even get his 
uniform dirty. A car was 
picked up and hurled into a 
creek about six feet deep; the 
occupants escaped uninjured. 
A small grocery store was 
leveled and the owner was re- 
ported missing to his frantic 
family; he was delivering an 
order at the time and was 
over a mile from the impact 
area. 

Students, Families Safe 

Sammy Tucker's father just 
happened to be away from his 
beauty shop in Candlestick 
Park at 4:30. The tornado 
only took part of the roof of 
Bill and Clifton Lamb's house, 
and missed Joe Merchant's 
by a few feet. Had the

WUS Drive Challenges APATHY 



By POLLY DEMENT 

-Support APATHY?" 
Humbug! 

Answering the "Support 
Apathy!" challenge of the As- 
sistant Editor of the Purple 
and White, World University 
Service offers an outlet of de- 
fiance against passiveness, of 
activation against som- 
nolence. 

Drawing its three-day drive 
to a close tonight, WUS seeks 
to topple well over its initial 
goal of three hundred dol- 
lars. Circle K members and 
volunteers from the student 
body will, through a campus 
canvas, give Millsaps stu- 
dents the opportunity to per- 
petuate education in Asia, Af- 
rica', and Latin America. 

NON-apathy, NON-passive- 
ness, and NON - somnolence 
mark the attitudes of our col- 
leagues in the educational 
worlds of Asia, Africa, and 
Latin America. These young 
men and women are anxious 
to match our dollars and ef- 
forts to f u r t h e r education. 
These people must realize, as 
Americans should, that edu- 
cation is the key to the de- 
velopment of a free society. 

How can our few dollars 
help? 

600 Check-Ups 

An anti-TB medical check- 
up and X-ray can be provided 
for six hundred students in 
Thailand through our mini- 
mum goal of three hundred 
dollars. The same amount of 
money will buy eyeglasses 
for one hundred and twenty 
Indian students. 

One thousand and two hun- 
dred Fiorina College stu- 
dents in Greece can be pro- 
vided three meals by WUS's 
minimum goal. It will pro- 
vide eight tuition scholar- 
ships for Korean refugee stu- 
dents. WUS provides, in gen- 



eral, lodging and living, stu- 
dent health facilities, individ- 
ual and emergency aid, li- 
braries and other educational 
facilities. 

Drive Opened 

Mr. Robert S. Farrelly, Re- 
gional Executive of World 
University Service, opened 
the drive with his Tuesday 
morning address in chapel. 

"Faculty Waiter Night," 
Tuesday night in the cafete- 
ria, provided a humor- 
ous highlight for the drive. 
Mrs. E. Russell, manager of 



the Cafeteria, provided the 
"waiters" with aprons and 
caps, and students sat back 
and roared at the surprises 
in for them. 

The moment of decision has 
come, however, for the 
success of the World Univer- 
sity Service drive. The WUS 
Steering Committee urges 
each student to join in the 
effort to surpass the min- 
imum goal of three hundred 
dollars. 



Subscriptions, 
Anyone? 

The Millsaps newspaper 
hasn't always been t h e 
Purple and White. From 
1898 to 1909 it was called 
The Millsaps Collegian. 

In 1908-09 The Collegian 
merged into a weekly pub- 
lication and was named in 
honor of the athletic asso- 
ciation, Purple and White. 
At this time the paper was 
published weekly by the 
junior class. It sold for 50c 
per single copy, two copies 
for 75c. At that rate a 
semester's subscription 
would be $4.50 minimum; 
the current rate is $1.00 

The early issues had no 
pictures at all and no head- 
lines—just tiny labels, like 
ATHLETICS, YMCA, SO- 
CIETY, etc. 

One of the most classic 
ads in a 1909 issue of the 
P&W goes like this: When 
clothes are soiled; Have 
them boiled; Get Bizzy; 
Ring Izzy; Jackson Steam 
Laundry; phone 730. 

Anyone want to subscribe 
to the Purple and White? 



Phi Mus Planning 
First State Day 

The first State Day for Mis- 
sissippi Phi Mu's will be held 
March 19. Epsilon Chapter at 
Millsaps will be host to alum- 
nae chapters and clubs and 
Collegiate chapters from the 
University of Mississippi, Uni- 
versity of Southern Missis- 
sippi, and Mississippi State. 

Plans for the day are being 
made by the Jackson Alum- 
nae Chapter under the direc- 
tion of Mrs. J. L. Root, and 
Kay Pritchett, State Day 
Chairman for Epsilon. 

The day will include an 
open house and coffee hour at 
Epsilon Lodge from 9:30 until 
11:30, a luncheon at the Coun- 
try Club of Jackson and aft- 
ernoon workshops for collegi- 
ates and alumnae. 

Mrs. W. F. Williamson, Jr., 
National President of Phi Mu, 
will be guest speaker at the 
luncheon. State and national 
officers and State Day Chair- 
men from the neighboring 
States have been invited. A 
distinguished Phi Mu, Mrs. 
Gordon Cooper, wife of astro- 
naut Cooper, will be among 
the three-hundred expected. 



Master Legs 

Men, hurry up and start 
wearing your bermudas. A 
Purple and White committee 
is anxious to start picking 
contestants for our MASTER 
LEGS contest. More details 
later. 

Smorgasbord 

At the suggestion of Dean 
Christmas, Mrs. Russell and 
Mr. Wood have agreed to 
vary the cafeteria eating style 
occasionally. March 30 is 
SMORGASBORD night — all 
you can eat for a certain 
price. One night we could 
have all shrimp or cold cuts 
or Italian food. Italian night 
could present all kind of pos- 
sibilities — spaghetti, pizza, 
WOPPER burgers, etc., etc., 

Elections 

Elections for Master Ma- 
jor, Miss Millsaps, and cam- 
pus favorites and beauties 
are scheduled for March 22- 
24. The Bobashela Beauty Re- 
view is March 23. Elections 
for SEB officers will be held 
the first week in May. Candi- 
dates will be allowed to speak 
to the student body in chapel 
April 28. 

Apathy? 

Some of us are unforgive- 
ably apathetic. And then there 
are others. It was great the 
way Christian Council and 
Bill McRae (and he's going 
to kill me for mentioning his 
name) jumped right into ac- 
tion after the tornado and set 
up coffers for collecting re- 
lief funds for victims. Then 
there are the contributors. 
What do you say?— thanks for 
caring? Anyway, it's very in- 
spiring the way people just 
forget themselves when other 
people need them and their 
help so badly. 

Style Show 

WSGA is sponsoring a style 
show March 13 at 4:30 p.m. 
in Franklin Hall. All women 
students have been encour- 
aged to attend. 



Happiness is having the 
roads behind the Christian 
Center and the gym repaired 
—or had you noticed? 

Vote Wet 
Referendum results: 

Results of the mock referen- 
dum on the Mississippi liquor 
laws were not too surpris- 
ing. The vote was 243 to 45 
in favor of legalization. The 
winning proposition stated, "I 
vote for the state of Missis- 
sippi to come out from under 
the prohibition laws of the 
state of Mississippi, establish- 
ing state owned liquor stores 
and strict enforcement of the 
prohibition laws in counties 
wherein not legal under the 
provisions of the 1966 regular 



session of the Mississippi leg- 
islature." The losing propos- 
al read, "I vote for the strict 
enforcement in every county 
in Mississippi of Mississippi's 
Prohibition laws and provid- 
ing adequate means for such 
enforcement, as set forth in 
Article II, Senate bill no. 1798, 
as enacted by the 1966 regu- 
lar session of the Mississippi 
legislature." 

One point along this line de- 
serves mention — only 288 out 
of ever 800 students even 
bothered to mark a little "X" 
in the space very conveniently 
provided for them. Don't the 
rest of you even CARE what 
is going on in the world 
around you? 

Faculty Waiter Night 

A word about WUS Faculty 
Waiter night. Great!! It's 
been a long time since I've 
seen that much united enthu- 
siasm on Millsaps campus. 
Maitre de Priddy and Mrs. 
McMullan copped the cher- 
ished titles of head waiter 
and waitress, but all the fac- 
ulty members who partici- 
pated were just great. We def- 
initely need more student-fac- 
ulty activities. Incidentally, 
the little remunerations Tues- 
day night amounted to $97. 
Only $203 to go in order to 
reach our goal. Everyone 
keep the pocketbooks handy 
tonight. WUS solicitors will be 
by to offer you one more op- 
portunity to help further the 
cause of the international uni- 
versity community. 

Challenge 
Not too many people said 
anything — but they all lis- 
tened. Only the hardest hearts 
could have remained unaf- 
fected by Robert Farrelly's 
statements in chapel Tues- 
day and his discussion with 
student leaders at noon. It's 
been a long time since I've 
seen anyone with the intense 
dedication and genuine inter- 
est in people and the world 
that he manifested. I certain- 
ly hope his challenge to us 
will not go unheeded: travel 
and meet people; really care 
about other people through- 
out the world; avoid getting 
stuck in a rut of convenience 
and going through life with 
middle class blinders on our 
eyes. I guess I won't soon for- 
get the way he said, "There's 
one thing I want you to re- 
member. PEOPLE ARE 
GREAT!" 



A student at one college, 
after downing a bootleg drink 
made in a galvanized drum 
from rubbing alcohol, moth 
balls and liquid bleach, suf- 
fered "acute psychiatric dis- 
burbances and horrible gas- 
trointestinal complications . ' ' 
Wonder why?

I surely will be glad when 
girls' intramural basketball 
is over. I have never in my 
life! I mean, really! I really 
didn't realize the CUT- 
THROAT attitude that some 
people have about it. Let's 
try to be better sports from 
now on, girls. 

Congratulations to Kay 
Pritchett, a Phi Mu, and 
Graham Lewis, a Lambda 
Chi, who are pinned; and to 
Linda Hall, a Kappa Delta, 
and Jimmy Williams, a Pike, 
who are dropped. 

Congratulations to Bonnie

Some Weeks 
You Don't 




By RONALD GOODBREAD 

Oftentimes people ask me: 
"Ron, how in the world do 
you come up with something 
new to write about every 
week?" Well, the answer is 
very simple. 

Some weeks, you don't. 



pledges: Bertha Mae Jones, 
Donna Carbello, and Stacy 
Simmons. The Phi Mu's have 
two new pledges: Linda 
Lathan and Susan Lum. Con- 
gratulations to all. 

I presume the Lambda 
Chi's had their pirate party 
on March 5. It was on the 
calendar, but nobody bothered 
to tell me about it. 

The Phi Mu's had their 
Founders Day Open House on 
Sunday, March 6. Wonder if 
Ronald Goodbread attended. 
(P.S. to dear Ronald: This is 
NOT the thing I had planned 
to say. This is VERY MILD 
compared to what you will 
get if you slander me in your 
column — dear Ronald, my 
friend??) 

In chapel Tuesday we are 
supposed to have a mock ref- 
erendum on the liquor bill. 
Wonder if it will affect the 
"DRY" status of Millsaps. I 
doubt it. 

Congrats, Tapees 

Congratulations to all the 
new tapees. I guess there will 
be a complete list of then 
elsewhere in the paper; so, I 
will not endeavor to name 
them all. Congratulations to 
the Pikes and the Chi 
Omegas, who won the two 
scholarship trophies. 

One final word. If I am not 
with you next week, it will be 
because Old South got the 
best of me. Oh, fun. Oh, joy. 
It's good. Good-bye dorm.

Filmstrips 
To Be Shown 

By ANN MARTIN 

Two filmstrips, Automania 
2000 and II Disordine, will be 
shown by the Language De- 
partment, March 11 at 7:00 
p.m. in the cafeteria. 

Automania 2000 is a ten 
minute color cartoon film- 
strip, a highly imaginative 
and sardonic. The film shows 
the state of traffic congestion 
throughout the world as it is 
foreseen at the end of the cen- 
tury. 

II Disordine is a full length 
movie shot in Rome and Mi- 
lan. The director, Franco Bru- 
sati describes it as a "photo- 
play that turns the spotlight 
on the disordered world we 
live in. This picture is a 
thriller, but we expose emo- 
tions and passions rather 
than facts to discover the cul- 
prits." 



Advises On Rural 
Pastoral Transition 

By LANNY R. CARLSON 

The Rev. Harold Peden, pastor of Briarwood Metho- 
dist Church, Jackson, spoke to the Ministerial League, 
March 1, concerning the problems involved in moving 
from an urban to a rural pastorate and vice versa. 
Administration in the rural and can appreciate rural il- 



church, the speaker stated, is 
relatively loose and decision 
making by the pastor is fairly 
open. If the urban situation, 
however, the program of the 
church requires that all com- 
missions and committees 
function fully; and while the 
pastor must have his fingers 
in every Juke of the church, 
he needs to use diplomacy in 
exercising his authority. Fur- 
thermore, the competition in- 
herent in the urban situation 
requires a well organized, 
daily evangelism program. 
This is not so essential to the 
rural situation, where few 
people move into the area. 
Pastoral Duties 
In the area of pastoral du- 
ties, Rev. Peden pointed out 
that the primary difference is 
in the type of counseling. 
Counseling in the rural 
church involves looking for 
and ministering to personal 
problems through home visi- 
tation. Just the opposite is 
true in the urban church. The 
primary difficulty here is 
finding time to give counsel to 
all those who seek it. Rev. 
Peden pointed out the neces- 
sity for the pastor to recog- 
nize the limits to his ability 
to minister to any particular 
personal disturbance, and 
suggested that it is better to 
refer a subject to a psychia- 
trist or a family service that 
to go too far and complicate 
the problem. 

Preaching, according to 
Rev. Peden, should not be 
much different in the rural 
than in the urban church. The 
rural congregation, he said, 
needs polished sermons just 
as much as do urbanites; the 
urbanites, on the other hand, 
are "just one generation re- 
moved from a cottonfield," 



lustrations just as much as 
the rural congregation. The 
point Rev. Peden emphasized 
for both situations was to nei- 
their talk down to the con- 
gregation, nor to talk up to 
them. 

Teachers Important 
The speaker stated that 
good teaching is essential to 
both situations. Thus the pas- 
tor should make it a point to 
have teacher training 
classes in both the rural and 
the urban churches. 

Finally, Rev. Peden spoke 
of the difference in priestly 
functions. In the rural church, 
he stated, there are more fu- 
nerals because of the longer 
number of elderly people. In 
the urban church, on the oth- 
er hand, while funerals are 
less frequent, they are gen- 
erally related to more tragic 
circumstances. 

In the way of general in- 
formation and advice Rev. 
Pedin pointed out that today 
most pastors seem to be com- 
ing from urban situations, but 
generally begin on a rural 
charge. He stressed that a 
pastor in this situation should, 
for the benefit of himself and 
his congregation admit that 
he knows nothing about it and 
set out patiently and diligent- 
ly to learn. 



A scientific paper by a pres- 
ent and a past member of the 
Millsaps College biology fac- 
ulty appears in the February 
issue of The American Biolo- 
gy Teacher. Rondal Bell, 
chairman of the biology de- 
partment, and D a r r e 1 Eng- 
lish, now at Iowa State Uni- 
versity, are the authors of "A 
Simple Demonstration of Mu- 
tation and Adaptation."

Thousands Of Summer Jobs Now Available For Students 



By MARIE SMITH 

Thousands of college students all over the nation 
are gradually awakening to the faint but distinguish- 
able hints of spring with the certainty that summer 
will be tagging along behind. And with summer scores 
of students will depart from their academic havens 
and re-enter the world of enterprise. Thus, while hun- 
dreds of summer jobs throughout the United States 
and abroad are awaiting ac- 



quisition by ambitious, ener- 
getic Millsaps students, the 
competition increases as each 
day ticks by. So there is no 
time for delay in getting in 
applications for summer 
work. 

The range of opportunity 
covers a kaleidescopic spec- 
trum from summer volunteer 
service in the war on poverty 
to counseling in a summer 
camp; from lifeguarding in 
Scandanavia to peddling ice 
cream bars along an oak- 
lined boulevard. 

Basic Considerations 

But before attempting to de- 
cide on summer activities, a 
student must ask himself, 
"What do I want from the 
summer — profit, fulfillment, 
cultural enrichment, fun, ca- 
reer experience, or travel?" 
The next major considera- 
tions are academic back- 
ground, previous work expe- 
rience, skills and interests, 
and future goals. Job choices 
should be made on the basis 
of these and other considera- 
tions. 

Business and industry are 
two of the most lucrative 
fields, in which students 
may anticipate paychecks as 
bulky as $425 a month. A 
number of firms will have at- 
tractive summer trainee jobs 
on tap this season. Last sum- 
mer Jim Carroll started out 
at straight labor with a con- 
struction company in Meri- 
dian and worked his way up 
to steel work. This summer, 
employed by the same com- 
pany, he may get to help 
build a Holiday Inn in Nassau 
or Bermuda. Jim reports that 
the pay is nothing to laugh 
at, to say the least. Engi- 
neers and science majors are 
much in demand. Jobs for co- 
eds with secretarial skiirs 
are plentifu, with salaries 
ranging from $50 to $80 a 
week. A College Placement 
Annual, personal contact, 
newspaper ads, employment 
agencies are the most helpful 
sources of information. 
Can Earn $10,000 

Direct selling— dictionaries, 
cookware, magazines, Bibles, 
etc. — can yield sizeable prof- 
its. Several Millsaps students 
have been very successful, 
both profit- and experience- 
wise in selling encyclopedias 
for the Southwestern Publish- 
ing Company out of Nashville. 
Charles Rains, who began his 
career as an encyclopedia 
salesman three years ago, re- 
ports that, while averaging 
$200 a week clear profit, he 
has in the past grossed as 
high as $400 a week. He said 
some clear $10,000 a summer. 
Students can obtain a free list 
of companies selling direct to 
consumers, and commodities 
sold, by writing for "The 
Blue Book Of Direct Selling, 
1965-1966,* • National Associa- 
tion of Direct Selling Com- 
panies, 165 Center St., Wi- 



nona, Minn., 55967. 

Fun, Experience, Money 
Work in resorts, restau- 
rants, ranches, and camps are 
especially appealing from sev- 
eral standpoints, not the least 
of which are fun, experience, 
and money. Experienced col- 
legians can clear as much as 
$1,500 for the summer. Aver- 



age net, including tips, is 
about $650. The Summer Em- 
ployment Directory of the 
United States, a copy of which 
is in the Student Personnel 
Office along with a wealth of 
other info on summer oppor- 
tunities, contains a treasure 
of scoops on 45,000 summer 
job openings. This little green 
book has helped a number of 
Millsaps students obtain jobs 
in the past. 

This coming summer Jim 
Gabbert will again work at 
Blue Water Manor, a resort 
on Lake George in the Adiron- 
dack Mountains of New 



York. Jim, who found out 
about the resort through the 
Employment Directory, has 
worked there the past three 
summers as waiter and 
pianist. 

Tommy Davis and Erwyn 
Freeman also ended up in- 
vading the restaurant and re- 
sort business this summer, 
despite having first "set their 
sails" for Anaheim, Calif., in 
hopes of getting a job at Dis- 
neyland. But they ended up 
with "much better jobs." Er- 
wyn worked as a sanitation 
and culinary aid supervisor 
(which in plain English 



means "dishwasher") in the 
restaurant of the Congress 
Inn. Tommy worked at the 
Caravan Inn driving people to 
and from Disneyland and 
Knott's Berry Farm. He also 
bell-hopped and did general 
maintenance work. The ad- 
venturesome pair had some 
"not-soon-to-be-forgotten" ex- 
periences living in the Lynn 
West Apartments behind Dis- 
neyland with "college kids" 
from all over the United 
States. Their journeys car- 
ried them to Tijuana and 
Juarez, Mex.; Los Angeles,

Kappa Alpha Holds First Place 
Kappa Sigma Drops to Second 



By REID BINGHAM 

As the first round of play ended Kappa Alpha held 
first place after defeating Kappa Sigma. Lambda Chi 
Alpha held on to third place with a win over fifth place 
Independents while the "M" Club took fourth place. 
In the big game of the week Kappa Alpha held their 
undefeated record by stalling off a late Sig rally in a 
tense 42-43 game. 

The play started slowly 
with only two points scored in 
the first half of the first quar- 
ter. The Sigs went cold in the 
second quarter hitting only 
four free throws as the KA's 
took a 18-11 half time lead. 
The scoring picked up in the 
second half with at one point 
the KA's taking a 14 point 



The Sigs rallied in the 
fourth quarter until with only 



a minute and a half left the 
margin was closed to a one 
point 33-32 KA lead. A suc- 
cession of free throws by Jim- 
my Gentry and Joe Bailey, 
however, broke the game open 
and gave the KA's their 42-33 
win. 

Bailey and Gentry were 
high point men for the KA's 
with 15 and 12 points respec- 
tively followed by Rod Bart- 
lett and Richard Bundy of the

Breaking a tie for fourth

53-44 win over a determined 
Independent team. The "M" 
Club took an early lead be-

The big factor in the game 
was the Independents inabil-

The next evening Kappa 
Sigma rebounded by rolling 
over Pi Kappa Alpha 60-35. By

built up a 10 point lead which 
they expanded to a 15 point 
lead in the third quarter. 
Frank McEachern was high 
point man for the evening 
with 23 points. 

In the second game of the 
evening Lamda Chi Alpha 
out scored the Independents 
45-25. The Chi's jumped to a 
twenty point lead behind the 
shooting of David Powers. 
The Independents couldn't get

by TOMMY DAVIS 

This week's column is dedicated to those hard 
working men of our basketball team. Though many 
people don't realize it these guys have been on the 
hardwood every afternoon or the past six months. Well, 
you say, why didn't they win if they practiced so much? 
I would say that injuries were a very determining 
factor in the won loss department. 
Last year's most valuable mings had leg trouble. Var- 



player, Bobby Luckett, was 
injured in pregame practice 
drills. This loss was a very 
substantial one. It is hoped 
that Bobby will be able to 
return next year along with 
this year's "Most Valuable 
Player" Jerry Sheldon to lead 
the Major's to a winning sea-

ious other injuries kept the 
team from being at full 
strength. 

Another factor that the Ma- 
jors lacked was experience to- 
gether. As you know we de- 
pended a great deal on our 
Junior College transfers. For 
a team to be able to play well 
together all of the time it is 
necessary for them to have 
experience playing together. 
This factor hurt us in almost 
every game. If you will re- 
member the Majors played 
great some of the time, but 
there were times when they 
fell apart. 

This season has given our 
players a chance to play to- 
gether when they weren't in- 
jured. With most of this 
year's starters returning we 
should have a much better 
team next year. 

Let term en 

Coach Montgomery has 
named this year's lettermen 
and has announced the other 
awards. Congratulations go to 
Jerry Sheldon who was se- 
lected "Most Valuable Play- 
er." Charles Rosenbaum was 
voted "Most Inspirational," 
and John Cook was named 
"Most Improved." 

Senior lettermen earning 
their second letters were Ron- 
nie Husband, Dick Lee, and 
Doug Greene. Junior letter- 
men earning their first let- 
ters were Charles Rosen- 
baum, Jerry Sheldon, John 
Cook, Tommy Cummings, 
Ron Hoffman. 

Sophmore Hap Wheeler 
picked up his second letter 
while Tom Kopplin received 
his first. Bill Drury was the 
only freshman to letter. Mike 
Staiano earned his fourth' let- 
ter as manager. 

Ladies 

At this point I would like to 
mention something that has 
become a problem among the 
women of Millsaps. It seems 
that Women's Intramural Bas- 
ketball is fast bec6ming one 
of the most dangerous sports 
on our campus. Basketball was 
originated by Dr. James Nai- 
smith as a sport, but you 
would never know this if you 
watched one of our "Ladies* " 
games.

Quarterback Danny Neeiy 
threw two touchdown passes 
to lead the White team to a 
20-7 victory over the Blues in 
the Major's annual Purple 
and White game. The Blue's 
score came on a 15 yard pass 
from Edwin Massey to Troy 
Lee Jenkins. 

The boastful Blue team 
completely dominated every- 
thing in the first half except 
the score. They picked up 
nine first downs while holding 
the Whites to only two which 
came in the last few minutes 
of the half. For the Blues 
Tommy Dickerson, Pat Amos, 
and Troy Lee Jenkins ground 
out the yardage behind the 


Tennis Season To 
Begin Next Week 

Ry CHRIS KELLEY 

The tennis team officially 
started practice last weekend. 
After having a winning rec- 
ord last year, the team is 
looking forward to another 
successful season. 

Last year's tennis team had 
a 6-4 record scoring 57 points 
in comparison to the oppon- 
ents 27 points. The team also 
did well in tournaments try- 
ing for third place with South- 
western in the University of 
Southern Mississippi Tourna- 
ment, arid third in the Mis- 
sissippi Small College Tour- 
nament. 

This year's team will have 
several returning lettermen. 
Benny Stone will be playing 
his fourth year of tennis for 
Millsaps. Benny scored 12% 
points last year with 1 point 
being given for each singles 
win and Vi point given ior 
each doubles win. Dan Mc- 
Kee will be playing his third 
year having scored 13 points 
last year. David Atwood 
starts his second year after 
scoring 11 points last year, 
will begin his second year 
and Mike Casey will be 
back for his second year after 
having scored 7 points last 
year. 

The team lost five letter- 
men last year; three by 
graduation, one by transfer, 
and another by marriage. Ed 
McGee, David Reynolds and 
Miller graduated last year. 
Terry Aeschinman and Steve 
Crockett also will not be re- 
turning this year. 

Several newcomers have al- 
ready begun practice and oth- 
ers are expected. Randy Ben- 
nett, Art Bass, and Christo- 
pher Kelley are among those 
expected.

blocking of Bill Milton, David 
Martin, , and Timmy Millis. 
Punt Blocked 

The White's first score 
came on a Blue punt which 
was blocked by John Hart 
and recovered in the end zone 
by Tommy McDaniel. Jack 
Bagget looked real good for 
the Whites as he caught a 
number of Danny Neely's 
passes, one for their second 
score. Both extra point at- 
tempts were missed. 

Second half action was 
more even than first half with 
the White's holding the edge. 
John Hart and Jimmy Waide 
anchored the White line with 
their outstanding play. Danny 
Neely threw to end Jerry 
Pearson for the White's third 
score and to Jack Baggett 
for the two point conversion. 
Blues Crushed 

Confidence was on the side 
of the Blue team for the first 
half of play but the White's 
spirit and desire managed to 
crush the Blue in the second 
half. The White's won the 
game with hustle, determina- 
tion, and teamwork. 

As a whole the team looked 
very good and the outlook is 
certainly very bright. This 
year we will be counting in 
the win column instead of the 
loss column. With practically 
all of last year's team back 
plus some outstanding addi- 
tions we should really be 
tough to beat.

Women s Intramur 

Women's Intramural Bas- 
ketball has really been get- 
ting spirited lately. In the top 
game played so far the Kappa 
Delta's avenged an early 33- 
32 loss to the Independents 
by soundly defeating them 
39-23. Ester Marett was the 
big "gun" for the KDs with 
17 points. Alice Newsome 
contributed 11 for the losing 
cause.

In other action the Phi Mu's 
beat the Zeta Tau Alpha's 53- 
20. Chi Omega was defeated 
29-23 by the Independents in 
a very spirited contest. 



Energy will do anything 
that can be done in this 
world; and no talents, no cir- 
cumstances, no opportunities 
will make a man without it.

Vietnam: Imperialist Victim, Over 100 Years 



By CHARLES VARNER 
Editor's Note: The Purple 
and White has had a number 
of requests to conduct or pro- 
mote the conducting of a sur- 
vey to determine how many 
students support or oppose 
the United State's policy in 
Viet Nam. In view of the fact 
that there is little doubt that 
the majority of Millsaps stu- 
dents would register affirma- 
tion, we feel that this would 
be a little trite. We feel that 
it is far more important that 
students UNDERSTAND the 
situation. Therefore, Charles 
Varner agreed to research the 
subject, with help from some 
Millsaps professors. This 
article is the first in a series 
explaining the history of Viet- 
nam, how the United States 
became involved in the pres- 
ent conflict, and some of the 
consequences to which altern- 
ative courses of action would 
lead. 

"Like two rice baskets at the 
opposite ends of their carry- 
ing pole"— that is the way 
Vietnamese often describe 
their country, which uncoils 
in the form of an elongated 
S for more than 1200 miles, 
from the 9th parallel north to 
the 26th in the south, covering 
127,000 square miles. 

Imperialism Since 1800's 

Vietnam is a country that 
has constantly been subject- 
ed to imperialism of one kind 
or another since the early 
part of the 19th century. 
French influence in Vietnam 
was first established in 1802. 
Subsequent persecution of 
Christians led to French mil- 
itary intervention and to the 
eventual conquest of the en- 
tire country in the late 19th 
century. 

French imperialism in the 
Vietnam area was actually a 



haphazard enterprise based 
more on local initiatives than 
on government policies, and 
more on prestige factors than 
on economic considerations. 
In other words, in the late 
1870's to have colonies was, 
at least as far as France was 
concerned, largely a matter 
of "keeping up with the 
Joneses". 
The tremendous number of 



changes of the government in 
South Vietnam today are not 
without their parallel. During 
the 43 years of French Civil 
Administration in Indochina, 
from 1902 to 1945, no less than 
23 governors ruled the area. 
It is obvious that under such 
conditions the pursuit of 
a consistent colonial policy 
was almost impossible — even 
more obvious since there was

Eta Sigma Phi president 
Gerald Lord recognized the 
new members for this classi- 
cal studies honorary as Lanny 
Carlson and Dr. George 
Stephenson. 

The new Gamma Gamma 
honorary, which gives recogni- 
tion to Greek students who

ership, tapped eight. Glen 
Graves, president, announced 
that these were Margaret 
Brown, Martha Byrd, Kathy 
Hymers, Raymond Jones, Ina 
Jordan, Jerry Pettigrew, 
Sandy Sandusky, and Ward 
Van Skiver.

Bearded KA\ Belles 
Anticipate Old South 



By ZELDA GUCH 

It seems that Roland Bed- 
cake's Abraham Lincoln com- 
plex has definitely become 
camp around Millsaps and 
anywhere else a KA may 
blow. Speaking of KA's, in 
honor of the grand old South- 
ern tradition every other year 
the KA's grow beards for Old 
South and escort their dates 
to a round of parties. This 
puts the girls' dorms in an up- 
roar and even the usually 
dormant junior and senior 
girls bestir themselves of 
Franklin and socialize. 
Scratchy Kisses 
One of the problems to arise 
is whether to wear a hoop 
skirt or crinolins. A more 
crucial one is how to kiss with 
comfort. Said one pinnee, "At 
first it scratched a lot, but 
then I made him use a creme 
rinse and it's not bad at all 
now— not bad at all." Some 
other comments on the sub- 
ject were, "I think beards 
make them look distinguished 
and shows a lot of fraternity 
spirit." "On some people they 
look fine, but on others they 
look pitiful." "They look 
kinda sloppy." "I don't think 



they look good except on just 
one or two people." "I think 
they look really good, espe- 
cially since I've gotten used 
to them. I've forgotten what 
the boys looked like without 
them." 

Secession Excluded 

Until this year Old South 
included a march downtown 
by the Kappa Alpha Order to 
secede from the Union, but 
due to the fact that the 
NAACP frowns upon such 
activities, this phase will be 
excluded this year. 

Included in the festivities 
will be two dances, one Fri- 
day night and one Saturday 
night, a banquet Friday and 
a garden party Saturday aft- 
ernoon. Not the least of the 
anticipated thrills is the ex- 
citing moment when the offi- 
cers gallop up on fiery steeds 
and call out the girls to 
receive their invitations. 
Those not primping behind 
the front door will be hang- 
ing out the windows and ev- 
eryone will share in the ex- 
citement. It's all for fun and 
won't come again for 
two years. 



Kappa Delta Epsilon, a pro- 
fessional education sorority, 
Sherry Monk, president, 
tapped O'Hara Baas, Marcia 
Cooper, Stella Lovitt, Susan 
McLemore, Ann Middleton, 
Jean Nicholson, and Judy 
Power. 

The literary honorary for 
men Kit Kat, Joe Tifanny 
president, remained exclu- 
sive. 

For their interest and abili- 
ty in intramural sports, Cindy 
Felder, Susan McLemore, Al- 
ice Newsbm, Ann Stephenson, 
and Karen Wachs were tapped 
into the Majorette Club, Sher- 
ry Monk president. 

M-Club 

The M-Club, Edwin Massey 
president, which consists of 
students who have been 
awarded a letter in intercol- 
legiate athletics, announced 
20 new members. These are 
Pat Amos, Prentiss Bellue, 
Stanley Graham, John Hart, 
Jerry Huskey, Troy Lee Jenk- 
ins, Jack Jones, David Mar- 
tin, Bob Mayo, Steve Miles, 
Timmie Millis, Bill Milton, 
Danny Neely, Gerold Bobbins, 
George Self, Gary Stewart, 
Sammy Tucker, Wayne Up- 
church, Ted Weller, and 
Charlie Whitten. 

Pi Delta Phi, French honor 
society, Kari Guild, president, 
tapped Linda Banes, Nat El- 
lis, Susan Finch, Bob Morris, 
Francis Sheetz, and Holt 
Montgomery. 

Pi Kappa Delta, Ronald Good- 
bread president, which offers 
membership to those who 
have given distinguished serv- 
ice in debating, oratory, or 
extemporaneous public speak- 
ing, tapped three— Jim Car- 
roll, Robbie Lloyd, and Mary 
Ann McDonald. 

German Honorary 
The German studies honor- 
ary, Schiller G^sellschaft, Me- 
lissa Shepherd president, in- 
vited eight to submit papers. 
These are Lynn Coleman, 
Charlotte Featherston, Erwyn 
Freeman, Martha Guillotte, 
Bill Lamb, Sue Lowery, Sara 
McDavid, and Charles 
Swoope. 

Theta Nu Sigma, an honor- 
ary for students majoring in

ald Lord president, is com- 
posed of students who have

Woodmansee. New associate 
members are Dianne Ander- 
son, Henry Chatham, Freddy 
Davis, Mike Gemmell, Marie

no French colonial policy. 
French Unprepared 
The outbreak of World War 
II found the French as un- 
prepared in the Far East as 
they were in the mainland of 
France. As the French were 
quickly overrun in Europe 
there was very little that they 
could do for their colonies. 
The only remaining possibili- 
ty for the Indochina area was 
an alliance with the United 
States. The United States re- 
fused such an alliance in June 
of 1940. 

As a result, in September 
of 1940 the Japanese began to 
make attacks on Vietnam. 

Bermuda shorts were begun 
by men, named because wom- 
en attempted to corrupt them. 
Governors of Bermuda, un- 
able to keep women from 
wearing shorts, rushed 
through legislature to control 
the length. If shorts were 
more than two inches above 
the knee, the guilty woman 
was fined (and sent to Ja- 
maica?). 



The D i s t r i c t IV Science 
Fair, featuring scientific ex- 
hibits by junior high and high 
school students, will be held at 
Millsaps April 1-3. The dis- 
trict fairs will feature original 
science exhibits by students 
in grades five through twelve. 



The French surrendered to the 
Japanese and a Japanese oc- 
cupation force of 6,000 men 
was sent to Vietnam. Dur- 
ing the War a controversy 
arose between the Allied pow- 
ers as to what they would do 
with Indochina after the was 
was over.

State House Bill Will Let 
Demos Off Hook Financially 



By LLOYD ATOR 

On George Washington's 
birthday the Mississippi 
House of Representatives 
passed, by an almost five to 
one majority, a bill providing 
for open or general primaries 
in state elections. Under the 
measure candidates must 
qualify through their party 
executive committees at the 
county or state levels. (Inde- 
pendents may qualify by pe- 
tition). Party affiliations will 
not appear on the ballot. 

The first primary will be 
held on the Tuesday follow- 
ing the first Monday in Octo- 
ber. Should no candidate re- 
ceive a majority, a runoff 
election will be held three 
weeks later between the top 
two contenders. The bill will 
not affect the federal elections 
time. U. S. Congressmen are 
elected on the Tuesday after 
the first Monday in November 
as provided by an Act of Con- 
gress of 1872. 

Let Demos Off Hook 

The state will finance the 
primary. Since it will be open 
to all parties this would let 
the Democrats off the finan- 



cial hook of paying for their 
own primary. Under existing 
state law, the state pays for 
the primary of the party 
which receives a majority in 
the last general election, 
which in this case is the Re- 
publican party. The Republi- 
cans would gain also, in the 
event that they do not muster 
a majority in the next gen- 
eral election. 

Excludes Affiliation 
The greatest criticism of 
the measure has been directed 
at the exclusion of party af- 
filiation from the ballot. Rep- 
resentative Strickland (D., 
Stone Co.), Chairman of the 
Registration and Elections 
Committees noted, 4 'Regard- 
less of party, the two high 
men will run it off in the gen- 
eral election. We will just be 
doing what we have always 
done." More piqued was 
Clarke Reed, State GOP 
Chairman, who expressed 
shock and amazement that 
the House would pass a bill 
-abolishing political parties." 

The bill will be sent now to 
the Mississippi Senate for l 
sideration.

Emory Choir To Present Concert 

The Candler Choraliers of Emory University's Candler 
School of Theology will present a concert in the Christian 
Center auditorium. March 18, at 12:00 p. m. 

The Choraliers, directed by John R. Crawford, assist- 
ant professor of sacred music at Emory, is composed of 
18 young ministerial students. 

The Choraliers will sing numbers ranging from classi- 
cal to contemporary music, and including Negro spirituals. 
This, their fourth tour, will include some numbers com- 
posed by their director. 

All Millsaps students are urged to attend the program 
which is free of charge. 



Millsaps Students 
Degree — Bachelor 

A Bachelor of Music degree 
will be added to the two de- 
grees now being offered at 
Millsaps College beginning 
with the 1966-67 session. 

At present only Bachelor of 
Arts and Bachelor of Science 
degrees are given. 

Leland Byler, chairman of 
the Millsaps music depart- 
ment, said students would be 
able to earn a Bachelor of 
Music degree with a major in 
voice, piano, or organ. Some 
students will be able to grad- 
uate with a Bachelor of Mu- 
sic degree at the 1967 com- 
mencement. 

Optional Plan 

An optional plan will be to 
receive a Bachelor of Arts de- 
gree with a major in either 
voice, piano, organ, or mu- 
sic education. This is the ar- 
rangement currently being 
followed by music majors. It 
requires fewer hours in mu- 
sic than the Bachelor of Mu- 



To Get Third 
Of Music 

sic degree. Only 42 hours in 
music will apply toward a 
Bachelor of Arts degree. 

Byler said that at least 60 
hours in applied and aca- 
demic music would be neces- 
sary for students planning to 
earn a Bachelor of Music de- 
gree. 

Additional Courses 

Expansion of the music de- 
partment will be one result 
of the new degree. Byler said 
one or two faculty members 
would be added to the staff 
next year and additional elec- 
tive courses will be offered. 

Bachelor of Music candi- 
dates will follow the same 
liberal arts core curriculum 
as candidates for the two oth- 
er degrees. All Millsaps stu- 
dents are required to take a 
specified number of hours in 
English, foreign languages, 
history, religion, mathemat- 
ics, 



Four Students Named 
Woodrow Wilson Fellows 



Four Millsaps students 
have been named recipients 
of Woodrow Wilson Fellow- 
ships and three have been 
named to the Honorable Men- 
tion List for 1966-67. 

Receiving fellowships for 
the coming year are Pat Gal- 
loway, of Clinton, Maryland, 
in comparative literature; Le- 
onora Hudson, Jackson, in 
French; James E. McWil- 
liams, Holly R i d g e, in Lat- 
in; and Johnny Morrow, Jack- 
son, in economics. 

Named to the Honorable 
Mention List are Norma 
Craig, Jackson, in English; 
Jim Gabbert, Senatobia, in 
mathematics; and Mary Neal 
Richerson, Booneville, in Ger- 
man. These students are al- 
most assured of receiving oth- 
er scholarships. 



28 Recipients 

Millsaps' four new Fellows 
bring the total number of 
Millsaps recipients to 28. In 
the Foundation's history, a 
total of 76 awards have been 
received by students at all 
Mississippi institutions. 

Woodrow Wilson Fellows 
get one academic year of 
graduate education, with tui- 
tion and fees paid by the the 
Foundation, a living stipend 
of $2,000 and allowances for 
any dependent children. The 
graduate school they choose 
to attend receives an addition- 
al ^rant from the Foundation. 

College professors in the 
United States nominated over 
11,000 students last fall. Col- 
lege teachers and administra- 
tors in the Foundation's 15 re- 
gions screened the applicants 



and interviewed one third ot 
them in January. Nearly one 
half of those interviewed won 
Fellowships. 

Future Plans 

Miss Galloway's plans in- 
clude attending the Universi- 
ty of North Carolina, getting 
a Ph.D., and then teaching 
somethere in the South. 

Mrs. Hudson plans to at 
tend Tulane, with a major in 
French and a minor in Hal 
ian. She then hopes to teach 
in Jackson. 

Morrow, undecided about 
accepting his Fellowship or 
another scholarship he has 
been offered, plans to teach 
business administration. 

McWilliams at present is 
planning to attend Vander- 
bilt. Later he hopes to teach 
Latin somewhere in Missis- 
sippi. 



Over 40 From Millsaps Turn Out 
f o Work In Tornado Cleanup 



(AP) — About 40 Millsaps 
students turned out Saturday 
and spent a day helping clear 
debris created near Leesburg 
by the death-dealing tornado 
that struck central Mississippi 
February 3. 

The boys, togged in jeans 
and sweatshirts, spent the 
day on the dairy farm of 
Troy King, who suffered 13 
dairy cattle killed, a dairy 
barn blown away and his 
house demolished. 

The students piled scattered 
boards, tin roofing, silage cov- 
er tarpaulins, fence posts, 
wire, scattered clothing and 
furniture in big stacks to be 
burned or hauled away. 

Found Kittens 

At the tenant home of Mrs. 
Radolph Boyd, who escaped 
injury when the tornado 
wrecked the place, the stu- 
dents discovered two sur- 
vivors—thin, howling kittens 
huddled under a dressing 
table. 

The kittens were fed, and 
the boys too, when they re- 
turned to a Leesburg Baptist 
Church community center 
where about 10 Millsaps coeds 
fixed lunch and sorted do- 
nated clothing for the Red 
Cross. 

The students' work was ar- 
ranged through the Red 
Cross, which is supervising 
relief work in the Leesburg 
area— where many died in the 
tornado — from the church 
center. 

A bus company donated 
transportation for the 25-mHe 
trip from 



Fund-Raising Drive 

In addition to providing 
manpower to aid the stricken 
families, students also gave 
to a fund - raising campaign 
conducted by the Christian 
Council. Some $108 was 
donated to the fund. 

Services were volunteered 
despite the fact that last week- 
end was a particularly busy 
time at Millsaps. The Metho- 
dist Student Movement state 



conference was meeting on 
the campus, three state chap- 
ters of Kappa Alpha fraternity 
were staging their annual Old 
South Ball, with Milteaps as 
headquarters, comprehensives 
and Graduate Record Exams 
are coming up shortly, the 
Players were in the final phase 
of preparing a production, 
and the Singers were in the 
midst of planning their an- 
nual spring tour.

So What Does It Matter? 



Breathes there a man with soul do 
dead who never to himself hath said, 
"Help, Vm in a rut?" If we've never 
signaled for help out of complacency and 
self-satisfaction, then chances are we 
are in a rut— a rut of convenience. 

Push a button. Flick a lever. Presto! 
The work is done. No effort at all. It's 
convenient. We're "happy". That is all 
that matters. 

Or is it? 

And what about the students in Cal- 
cutta, the ones we heard about in chapel 
last week who must study on top of rub- 
bish piles under street lamps? We've 
heard it many times, haven't we? Sorta 
t>et sick of hearing it. It's disorienting. 
We don't like to be disoriented. 

Give us our middle class blinders. With 
them we are able to shut off the rest of 
the world — people, problems. Sounds 
like a set of cliches. But when will it 
sink in? 

Success. We are all striving for suc- 
cess. Some of us don't really care about 
living —just as long as we "succeed." 
Society's expectations, restrictions, 
standards of success, unchallenged 
values have already reduced many of us 
to mere yes-men or flesh and blood auto- 
matons. 

"I would give anything to be a captain 
on a schooner in the South Seas. But I 
can't be a failure. People would talk." 
So we become slaves. 

For many businessmen, life is break- 
fast, work, lunch, work, golf, cocktail, 
supper and TV, a party or civic club 
meeting. Then to bed to begin the same 
routine the next day. No time for re- 
flection, evaluation. For many house- 
wives, especially among the more 
"elite," the ultimate in life is to make 
seven no-trump in bridge or give an elab- 
orate tea for the State Livestock Queen. 
What about us — the students? Food, 
deep, study, bridge, cigarettes and booze, 
dances, grill time and more studies. This 
is life? 

Aren't we ever dissatisfied? 

Don't we dream and yearn? Don't we 
ever even think about people in Asia, 
Africa, Philadelphia, New York, the 
other side of Jackson, the other side of 
Millsaps grill. Maybe the things we can 
see and touch are all that are important. 
Maybe we're in a rut. 

But must we be? And must we be 
shackled by society's trite restrictions 
and expectations? Must we allow our- 
selves to be stifled inside a little box, 
merely a tiny part of a person? 

A girl is pegged as "sophisticated." 
She may feel that she must humor so- 
ciety by living up to that one role the 
rest of her life. There are some things 
sophisticated girls just don't do. "Climb 
trees with the kids? What would people 
think!" "Help clean up rubbish after a 



tornado? I might get dirty!" 

An especially rich or attractive person 
may get the warped notion that the world 
should bow down to him (or her) simply 
because he is rich and-or attractive. 
Seems that such a person, who already 
has so much, should make a triple ef- 
fort to be considerate of people who 
aren't quite so lucky. 

A lot of things are backwards. 

We become so wrapped up in trying to 
"succeed" that we forget to live. A good 
education becomes nothing but a means 
by which we can obtain a shiny con- 
vertible, a Schick electric shaver, a new 
brick home and a white picket fence. 
The picket fence protects the little world 
we have built around ourselves. "It's 
mine! I earned it!" 

We pick a tiny corner of this vast uni- 
verse, decorate it to suit our fancy, make 
it comfortable, and call it The World. 
But what about people? Where do they 
fit in? No, not fraternity brothers, 
sorority sisters, bridge partners — t hey 
have a place in our little world. They 
add to its security and comfort. But 
what about "different" people, people 
who need us, who twang the strings of 
our consicence and make us uncom- 
fortable? What about people who make 
us feel guilty for having so much and al- 
ways wanting more? Is our love and in- 
terest so small that we have no room 
for them 0 

What about the student in Calcutta, the 
little boy in Thailand, the native in 
Africa, the slum kids in New York or 
Jackson? Don't we even wonder about 
them— how they feel, what they believe, 
what contributions we could make to 
them and they to us? There's no room 
for them in our world? They have no 
place? It's a shame. No telling how much 
we could learn about life from the peo- 
ple we least expect to learn from — by 
venturing out of our corner of the uni- 
verse, inconveniencing ourselves, car- 
ing, putting life into perspective, meet- 
ing different people. Not the sophisti- 
cated elite— the people. 

Ah, but of course. There are dangers 
involved. Our values would be chal- 
lenged as never before. We would even 
be forced to think! But untested values 
are mere crutches and crutches are the 
bane of our society. 

Prestige, social status, wealth, "suc- 
cess" — so what? Where will they get us? 
What will they mean 60, 70, 80 years 
from now? The important things are not 
so ephemeral — real convictions, under- 
standing, involvement, people, feeling. 
And God forbid that we ever become too 
sophisticated to feel. There are few peo- 
ple in the world who can't teach us 
something. 

So what does it matter?— M.S. 



First Things First 



Perhaps an explanation is in order 
about what we, the present staff, con- 
sider the function of the Purple and 
White. First of all, it is not a publicity 
medium for a particular social group or 
a particular person. Our first and major 
consideration and obligation is to the 
campus community as a whole. There- 
fore news which is of interest to the most 
people must take priority over news of 
interest to one group or person. 

We regret that the amount of space in 
the paper is limited, but nevertheless it 
is. Practically every week we have 
more news than we have space, so eval- 
uations must be made as to which news 
or pictures are most important. When we 
are unable to give one group as much 



publicity as they would like, we expect 
them to exercise maturity and consid- 
eration and realize our limitations. 

We emphasize that there has not been 
and will not be any favoritism shown to- 
ward any of the social groups as long as 
the present staff is in office. If one 
group has so far received more publicity 
than another, it is purely concidental. 
The breadth of interest the stories have 
and how pressed we are for space a par- 
ticular week are very important factors 
concerning sorority - fraternity news. 
News about and of interest to one par- 
ticular social group will always take a 
back seat to news about or of interest to 
the entire campus or a cross-section of 
the campus community.— M.S.

MATTERS 




MARIE SMITH 
Editor 



DePaul University of Chicago has a good thing 
going. This institution, as reported in the last issue 
of their student newspaper, is credited with having the 
first collegiate "Bitch-In" the U. S.. The students de- 
cide to use this new technique to persuade the adminis- 
tration to give them unlimited lot of fun " Q ver 40 'Saps stu- 



class cuts. Although it result- 
ed in nothing more than a 
discussion with University of- 
ficials, the students were 
somewhat appeased. . .And 
while we're on the subject, a 
rebuttal "R. B. Smith" is not 
sorry she took the job as edi- 
tor of the Purple and White, 
as reported in R. G.'s Syn> 
posium column. 

On Vietnam Reports 

Concerning Vietnam, the 
editorial statement heading 
Mr. Varner's report last week 
by no means represented an 
attempt on the part of the 
Purple and White to squelch 
anyone's right to express his 
views. We would be very will- 
ing to conduct a survey or 
referendum along: with, but 
not in place of, the series of 
articles explaining the situa- 
tion. The staff just felt that 
it would be a little ridiculous 
to jump right in and have a 
referendum when most stu- 
dents have only a slight 
knowledge about the conflict. 
Anyone who would like to ex- 
press his views on the mat- 
ter may do so in the Open 
Forum column or in a letter- 
to-the-editor.

an amazingly large portion of 
whom were Kappa Sigs. A lit-

that the Sigs had some pret- 
ty original incentives, which 
we won't mention. Then with 
Papa Green and Papa 
Jacks, dragging the dissenters 
out of bed by their toes, who 
could resist? Pictures and a

PURPLE & WHITE 



Pa*e 3 




A First Grade Primer To Millsaps College 



By RONALD GOODBREAD 
Political^) Editor 
LESSON ONE 
The Administration Bldg. 

See the big building. 

It is Murrah Hall. 

The Dean and the Registrar 
live there. 

Cough, cough, cough. 

The Registrar is the one 
who stands on the side of his 
shoes while he lectures. 

It is not nice to point this 
out, though, especially if you 
haven't already passed Sopho- 
more Lit. 

Most of the faculty live 
there, too. 

They live in the back. 

For some of them this is 
fitting. 

But then there are those 
like Mr. Adams. 

They live on the second 
floor. 

This is known as getting 
'kicked upstairs." 

LESSON TWO 
Sullivan— Harrell Hall 

See the building with all 
the windows. 

This is to let in all the 
truth. 

It will make you free, you 
know (it says so on the sec- 
ond floor). 

Except for the 26 hours of 
labs per week. 

You learn all sorts of good 
things in Sullivan-Harrell. 

About the bureaucrats in 
Murrah Hall. 

(The above statement is a 
sentence fragment. But you 
don't need to know that if you 
live in Sullivan-Harrell. If you 
learned it there it would look 
like this: "Phrz. - subj.-vb. = 
SF). This is known as the sci- 
entific method. 

You also learn that people 
in the humanities and social 
sciences are pitifully ignorant. 

They also get by with top 
little work. 

They do not deserve their 
degrees. 

Sneer. Sneer. Sneer. 

In the chemistry lab there 
are lots of bottles. 

See the labels? One says 
"XXX". 

No, no! That is the name 
of an honorary. 

Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! That kind 
of thing is against the rules! 

Hear the sighs of inescapa- 
ble persecution. 

Geology lab has started. 

It is time to leave. 

LESSON THREE 
The Library 

The building with the plate 
glass windows is the library. 

This is so that the night 
watchman can see the whole 
campus. 

There are many rules in the 
library: 

No talking. 

No smoking. 

No more than 18 people at 
any table. 



All current periodicals are 
to be sent to the bindery im- 
mediately. 

This is so that a student 
will have to earn his grade in 
History 334. 

The evening paper is never 
put up before it is three days 
old. 

All books of maximum use 
are to be moved to second 
floor so that the students will 
get plenty of exercise getting 
them. 

The library is the focal 
point of social life at Millsaps. 

Each fraternity has a re- 
served section. 

The KA's get the govern- 
ment documents room. 

The Lambda Chi's get the 
second floor. 

The Pikes get the middle of 
the first floor. 

The Sigs never use the li- 
brary but when they do show 
up they get the smoking 
lounge 

The GDI's study in the grill. 

See the elderly little lady? 

She is the librarian. 

Scowl. Scowl. Scowl. 

Which one is she? 

I don't know. They all look 
the same. 

The library has one main 
use. 

People hang huge meta- 
phorical signs from it draw- 
ing analogies between the 
KA's and the wind, and link- 
ing their natural tendencies. 

LESSON FOUR 
The Christian Center 

Hear the dull, monotonous 
sound. 

Mr. Hooker is lecturing. 

Drooooooooooonnnnnnnnnn . 

His students are high-spir- 
ited though. 

They work hard. 

They think they are putting 
out 100%. 

They think they are going 
to make decent grades. 

They are wrong. 

Suck. Suck. Suck. 

Do not confuse the droning 
sound with the snoring sound 
coming from room 21. 

That is Religion 202. 

People steal chairs and ta- 
bles from the lounges in the 
CC. 

No one has ever stolen any- 
thing from the religion room. 

Everything in there is too 
high flown for the students to 
reach. 

See the big room in the mid- 
dle of the building. 

Once a week great masses 
of people are herded into 
there and undergo great 
suffering. 

Like Auschwitz. 

There is one difference: 
Auschwitz didn't have check- 
ers. 

Auschwitz also had a place 
to sleep. This is difficult in 
chapel. 

See the railing around the 
orchestra pit. 

It is for the Millsaps Play- 
ers to perch on during re- 
hearsal. 

Mr. Goss is very thought- 
ful. 

Also in the CC is Fitzhugh 
Chapel. It is relatively new- 
looking. 

This is because no one ever 
uses this Methodist Chapel ex- 



cept the Episcopalians. 

You will end up in the CC 
sooner or later. 

We all have to take phi- 
losophy. 

You learn all kinds of things 
in philosophy: 

Cultural relativism. 

Ethical subjectivism. 

Determinism, and other 
such things that you use in 
your day-to-day activities. 

This is known as a liberal 
education. 

It is not to be confused with 
an educated liberal. 

LESSON FIVE 
The Gym 

Smell the gym. 

It is the home of the Mill- 
saps Mets (all types). 

Puff. Puff. Puff. 

See the smoke 

Coach Monty is allergic to 
smoke. 

What is the pounding up- 
stairs? 

It is a basketball player 
running laps. 

He has caught Coach 
Monty's allergy. 

Only AVz more miles to go, 
Hus! 

LESSON SIX 
The Student Union 

The new building down in 
the hole is the SUB. (Student 
Union Bldg.) 

Not to be confused with the 
SOB (State Office Bldg.)-or 
whatever. 

There are many things in 
the SUB. 

There is the room with all 
the tables and the juke box. 

The sign by the door says 
"Grill." 

It should say "Remedial 
Mediocrity 101." 

Mostly language majors. 

Also in the SUB is the cafe- 
teria. 

Barf. Barf. Barf. 

Sorry about that, Chief. 

Then there is the Post 
Office. 

They have 563 little dust 
bowls for rent there. 

And of course there is the 
book store. 

Jingle. Jingle. Jingle. 

You can buy all the Eng- 
lish, philosophy, and language 
books you want in the book 
store. 

If you have led a sheltered 
life, are rich, have a cast iron 
stomach, and are deaf you 
may go anywhere in the SUB 
you want including the book- 
store, the cafeteria and the 
grill. 

But stay out of the lounge. 
LESSON SEVEN 
The P&W Office 

The P&W is a scandal 

sheet. 

Each week it is full of filler 
material and advertisements, 
and timely articles ranging 
from features on Batman to 
Kierkegaard. 

The P&W is run by a 
woman. 

Vascilate. Vascilate. Vasci- 
late. 

Her name is R. B. Smith. 

About now she is sorry she 
has the job. 

The political column is four 
days late. 

I told her so. 

See the fellow in the black 
suit. 



He writes Sympostum. 

He is always using bad 

words like "Pftbabgbsbwtb- 
fvk." 

He gets his ideas from the 
wastebasket of the society 
editor. 

He is not a literary genius. 
He is not even a good 
writer. 

There are innumerable very 
superior literary critics 



around Millsaps who will be 
glad to tell you how lousy 
he is. 

They range from the Front 
Office of the Economics De- 
partment to the Poet Laureate 
of the Sig Chapter. 

I wish I were that cool. 

Zoom. Zoom. Zoom. 

I guess it Is pretty cool up 
there. 

Do not read his column. 



Cats 'n Dogs, Coffee Houses. Age. 
Medicine Capture Cam pus Spotlight 

By LINDSAY MERCER 
Exchange Editor 

Here are some interesting things "everyone should 
know" from The Mississippian of the University of 
Mississippi. Man's best friend seems to be slowly losing 
his popularity to his traditional enemy, the cat. Ameri- 
ca is reported to have 26 million dogs and 28 million 
cats, not counting strays. Things are looking up for 



the ordinary housewife. She 
cooks about a thousand meals 
a year. That formerly meant 
5Vfe hours a day in t h 
kitchen; today that figure ha> 
been cut to 1% (I don't be- 
lieve it!) 

It is catching! The U. S. 
Public Health Service lists 
cigarette smoking as a "com- 
municable d i s e a s e." Geo- 
graphical oddity: Alaska 
claims it is farther east than 
any other U. S. state. Its 
brag comes from the fact that 
the Aleutian Islands reach so 
far west that they actually 
enter the Eastern Hemis- 
phere. . . Age has at least one 
advantage — medicine doesn't 
taste as bitter. This is be- 
cause the number of taste 
buds decrease with age. 
Walking? Don't Drink 

Safety tip: If you're going 
to walk, don't drink! Every- 
one knows the danger of driv- 
ing a car after imbibing, but 
liquor is dangerous to pedes- 
trians, too. A 1964 study in 
Pennsylvania found that one 
out of every four pedestrians 
killed in traffic accidents had 
been drinking. 

Folklore: If the first robin 
of Spring you see if flying 
up, you'll have good luck the 



rest of the year ... A child 
at maturity will weigh rough- 
ly twenty times its weight at 
birth. To cure a stitch in your 
side that comes from running 
too fast, lift up a stone, spit 
on it, and put the stone back 
in place. 

Coffee House 

Flickering candles, .a Bach 
concerto or live jazz, expres- 
so coffee, and a place for in- 
timate conversation— a new 
coffee house, In Loco Paren- 
tis. This coffee house was de- 
scribed in The New Hamp- 
shire of the University of 
New Hampshire and is the 
first such meeting place on 
campus. The unique coffee 
house opens at 9:00 p. m. ev- 
ery night, during the week it 
closes at midnight; on week- 
ends it closes at 1:00 a. m. 
Featured are three types of 
coffee — American blend, 
French, and Italian, four 
types of tea, assorted pas- 
tries, and live entertainment 
on weekends. The walls are 
covered with murals featur- 
ing Batman, Robin, the Boy 
Wonder, Joker, Emerald 
Man, Hawkman, and the CIA 
Agent. Can you imagine go- 
ing to a place like this in- 
stead of the grill?

LUTHER — John Osborne's "Luther/* winner of the Drama Critics Award and the Antoinette 
Perry Award in 1964, opened yesterday at Christian Center auditorium for a four-night run. 
The scene above shows Martin Luther (kneeling) taking the vows of the Augustinianl Order of 
Eremites. Walter Slaughter, of Memphis, appears as Luther in the Players' production. 
Participants in the ceremony are, from the left, Joe Maw, Jackson; Cliff Dowell, Gulfport; 
Randy Bennett, Pascagoula; George Morrison, Atlanta, Georgia; and Ken Beasley, New Albany. 



Vieiv From The Labyrinth 



Luther' — Is Faith Enough 



By PAT GALLOWAY 
Amusements Editor 

Week before last this writer 
waxed rather analytical with 
regard to John Osborne's 
Luther; this week, with the 
new duty of amusements edi- 
tor and the direction of L.G. 
to urge everyone to attend 
the play, she intends to carry 
on in a different vein. 
Runs Through Saturday 

If perchance everyone is not 
aware of the fact, Luther 
opened Wednesday night in 
the C.C. and runs through 
Saturday, admission free with 
student I. D. To understate 
the case somewhat, it is a 
play worth seeing. As was im- 
plied last week, the play is 
quite relevant to many 
present questions facing 
Christianity — another title 
might be "Christian Existen- 



tialism and How It Got That 
Way." For this reason alone 
it merits everyone's close at- 
tention. 

But there are other factors 
to be borne in mind as well. 
The combination of costum- 
ing by Eaves of New York 
and Vic Clark's starkly effec- 
tive set makes this show vis- 
ually impressive; E 1 w o o d 
Thornton has directed the 
various chants that contribute 
so greatly to the mood of the 
play. 

Historically Accurate 
Luther is Osborne's version 
— generally quite accurate 
historically — of the life of 
Martin Luther and the rea- 
sons for the changes he 
wrought in the religious 
climate of Germany in the 
16th century. It is a 
portraiture of the man in his 



struggles with himself as well 
as with the Church, a man 
whose spiritual progress was 
perhaps made more rapid by 
the fact that he was an 
epileptic. Martin is a quite 
sensitively drawn character, 
not a comfortable figure 
calmly writing his ninety-five 
theses, but a man complete 
with faults and frank lan- 
guage. There are a number of 
other fine roles in Luther — 
Tetzel, Cajetan, Pope Leo, 
and Staupitz, to mention only 
a few fine cameos — but to 
rave on at any greater length 
will simply be insufficient in 
the long run. See the play.

Major N' Minor . . . 

(Continued from page 2) 
were taken up during the 
state MSM conference this 
past weekend. 

Yea! Soup Spoons 

The Millsaps student senate 
took a great step forward last 
week. Due to the group's prog- 
ressive orientation and un- 
daunted determination, we 
now have soup spoons in the 
grill. Maybe by the end of the 
year the Student Union Com- 
mittee will even see the busi- 
ness manager about the 
ripped booth. Think we could 
stand all that progress? Per- 
haps we'd best not mention 
any issues more radical than 
these at the moment. One 
step at a time, you know. 

Something For Everyone 

It's not original but it's ap- 
propriate: "If you find a mis- 
take in the Purple and White, 
please consider it was put 
there for a purpose. We try 
to publish something for ev- 
eryone and some always look 
for mistakes." 
Just Act Non-Discriminate 

"Non - discriminate?" It 
doesn't exactly have a defini- 
tion, but here are some ex- 
amples about when to be it: 

"Act "non - discriminate" 
when. . .your birthday pres- 
ent turns out to be a fraternity 
pin, when you already have 
another fellow's lavaliere. 

Act "non - discriminate" 
when. . .the picture of your 
hometown "love" falls out of 
your billfold in front of your 
college pinmate. 

Act "non - discriminate" 
when. . .the test essay ques- 
tion is the only one of the 
four assigned you didn't 
study. 

Act "non - discriminate" 
when. . .your charm brace- 
let gets caught on your date's 
sock as you reach under the 
table for your napkin. 

Act "non - discriminate" 
when. . .the dorm mother 
sneaks around when you real- 
ly weren't watching TV. 



Act "non - discriminate" 
when. . .you have a fag in 
your mouth and Coach Monty 
walks up and you're Rock 
Husband.

Spring Holidays 

The registrar's office has 
asked the P&W to announce 
that spring holidays will be- 
gin on Thursday, April 7 at 
noon, instead of April 8 as 
stated in the catalogue. 
Classes will resume on 
Wednesday, April 13 at 8:00 
a.m. 

IBM Date-Matching 

In the meantime, be waiting 
with bated breath for info in 
next week's P&W on a chance 
for Millsaps to participate in 
the IBM computer data date 
matching program. 

It's "Vacillate", G.B. 

The Symposium Editor's 
assignment this week is to 
write the word "vacillate" 
one hundred times until he 
learns how to spell it. 



The Millsaps Student Sen- 
ate is in the process of dis- 
cussing the pros and cons 
of instituting an academic 
honor system here. 



Millsaps recently received 
a $1,000 grant for unrestricted 
use from Gulf Oil Corpora- 
tion. 



The average weight for a 
suit in the old days was 65 
pound (suit of armor, that is.) 
Today one wearing 6Vfe ounces 
is pretty appropriate attire. 



The Millsaps Track Team 
will travel to New Orleans 
March 18 for their first meet. 
Coach R a n a g e r encour- 
ages all interested men to try 
out immediately. 




Huh? Forgit Whut? 

ebels, Eugene Countiss, Bob Morris, 
David Massey don't seem extremely con- 
cerned about the Old Southern Tradition at the moment. (Now 
what was it— Civil War or Silver War?) Kappa Alpha Old 
South festivities were held here last weekend, with 
KA's from three Hlwlwlmil colleges participating.

'Would There Were No Wine' 
Would There Were No Women' 



By JIM CARROLL 
When deplorable excesses 
happen, I hear many cry, 
"Would there were no 
wine! O folly! O madness!" 
Is it the wine which causes 
this abuse? No. If you say, 
"Would there were no 
wine! M because of drunk- 
ards, then you must say, 
going on by degrees, 
"Would there were no 
night!" because of thieves, 
"Would there were no- 
light!" because of inform- 
ers, and "Would there were 
no women!" because of 
adultery. 

—St. John Chrysotom 

Lanny Carlson's article in 
Open Forum" last week 
struck this writer as signifi- 
cant for several reasons, but 
for the most part because in- 
corporated in it were the tra- 
ditional con trad ctions, misin- 
terpretations of statistics, and 
naive reasoning which has 
been characteristic of the 
prohibition movement since 
its beginnings. This week we 
would like to take a look at 
sci..e oi the arguments put 
forth in that article, and of- 
fer as an afterthought some 
observations of this writer 
and others with whom we 
have talked. 

Unreliable Statistics 
Lanny began his arguments 
with some very impressive 
statistics regarding the in- 
crease in the consumption of 
liquor and the "drunkenness 
of America." The only thing 
wrong with these statistics is 
that they depend heavily upon 
the figures of today as com- 
pared with those during pro- 
hibition. When we consider 
the fact that during prohibi- 
tion, it was illegal to sell liq- 
uors, we are struck by the 
realization that it wasn't exact- 
ly the normal thing for boot- 
leggers, who were selling liq- 
uors illegally, to go around 
reporting to the Statistical 
Abstract the amount of alco- 
holic beverages they sold, and 
since in light of this fact, 
the Statistical Abstract's fig- 
ures for the period of prohibi- 
tion are bound to be guesses 
at best, it is rather difficult 
for us to take much stock in 
their accuracy as a fair com- 



parison with today. But even 
if we accepted these statist- 
ics, it still would be very 
hard for us to accept that an 
increase in consumption nec- 
essarily implies an increase 
in alcoholism (which we 
maintain is the major prob- 
lem at issue here). 

Now, we are not contending 
that alcoholism has not 
risen in the last thirty years. 
But the last thirty years have 
not seen the type of program 
put into effect which we ad- 
vocated in our last column. 
Lanny asserted that increased 
consumption leads to in- 
creased crime; rather in- 
creased problem drinking 
leads to increased crime. In 
short, what we are saying is 
that we would much prefer to 
see 10 billion gallons of liq- 
uor consumed each year with 
10,000 alcoholics than to see 
100,000 gallons of liquor con- 
sumed with 12,000 alcoholics. 

Now in our last column, we 
did not, as Lanny accused us 
of doing, maintain that state- 
owned stores are "a salvation 
to all our problems," if you 
will recall. We proposed a 
program along the lines of 
those in Scandinavian coun- 
tries, which keeps a strict 
watch on problem drinkers, 
and which provides for severe 
penalties for those who abuse 
alcohol. Certainly there is no 
easy answer to the problems 
in this area. But the state will 
certainly come a lot closer to 
solving those problems if it 
faces up to them instead of 
sticking its head in the ground 
and refusing to deal with 
them as it now is doing. Per- 
haps we are idealistic and ex- 
pect too much, but we see no 
reason why Mississippi could 
not become a leader in 



ways to deal with the 
problems of drinking. 
Prohibition Unenforceable 
And what solution to the 
problem does Lanny propose? 
Why, it is so very simple: 
"Repeal the black market 
tax, then stand up for firm 
enforcement of the law." 
Even if we believed that the 
people would "stand up for 
strict enforcement of the law" 
(which we don't, based on 
past evidence), and even if 
we believed that one person 
or group of persons has the 
right to force his or their own 
moral beliefs about drinking 
on another (which we certain- 
ly don't), we still maintain 
that there will never be en- 
forced prohibition in this 
state. Last week this writer 
ventured down to the capitol 
to talk to some of the legis- 
lators about the pending liq- 
uor bill. Every one that we 
talked to agreed that if the 
present bill is defeated, the 
state will keep right on with 
the status quo. As one legis- 
lator put it to us: "The people 
don't really want this state 
dry; they won't cooperate any 
more in helping dry up this 
state if they vote dry than 
they have in the past. Why, it 
would take us $15 million a 
year to dry up this state, with 
or without their help, and if 
you think for one second that 
this legislature would appro- 
priate that kind of money to 
keep people from drinking, 
you're crazy." 

Had 'Fair Try' 
In short, prohibition has had 
a "fair try," and it has failed 
miserably. The very fact that 
the "black market tax" which 
Lanny long and sorrowfully 
was ever passed shows

that prohibition as he would 
like it did not work and can- 
not work. Even so, there are, 
and we suppose will be for a 
long time to come those who, 
like Lanny, forever chant the 
song of the prohibitionists 
in "The Wickersham Report" 
by Franklin P. Adams: 

Prohibition is an awful flop. 
We like it.

Kappa Alpha Holds First Place 
Kappa Sigma Remains In Second 



by REID BINGHAM 

With one week left Kappa Alpha held a slim hold 
on first place clesely followed by Kappa Sigma, setting 
up the big tilt to decide first place between the KA's 
and the Sigs. Men's Intramural Softball will start 
March 21 with a close race in the forecast. 

Opening last weeks play 
Lambda Chi Alpha eased past 
the winless Pikes 62-30. The 
Pikes got off to a good start 
with the Chi's holding a slim 
one point S-7 first quarter 
lead. The Lambda Chi's came 
back holding the Pikes to five 
points in the second quarter 
increasing their lead to 24-12. 
The Pikes couldn't catch up 
leaving the Chi's to their 62- 
30 win. David Powers of the 
Lambda Chi's was high man 
with 20 points. 

In the second game of the 
evening Kappa Sigma easily 
took the "M" Club 8&48. The 
Sigs held the lead through- 
out the game with Joe Ben- 
nett and Jerry Huskey taking 
the honors for the night with 
22 points apiece.

"M" Club Wins 

The "M" Club slipped by 
the Pikes the next evening 
50-37. The "M" Club got off 
to an early lead but the Pikes 
rallied in the second quarter. 
The Rally stalled, however, 
and were never able to catch 
up again. Jimmy Williams 
was high point man of the 
evening with 25 tallies to lead 
the Pikes. 

In the second game of the 
evening Kappa Alpha put four 
men in double figures as they 
easily beat the Independents 
70-42. The KA's had some 
trouble cranking up but soon 
put the game or* ice. Flem- 
ing of the Independents lead 
the scoring with 16 points 
closely followed by Joe Bailey 
with 14, Davis and Gentry 
with 12 and Weller with 10.

In the highest scoring game 
of the season Kappa Sigma 
routed the Independents 116- 
51. George Williamson was 
high point man for the eve- 
ning with 23 closely followed 
by Richard Bundy and Frank 
McEachern with 22 points 
apiece. 

KA's Undefeated 

In the second tilt of the 
night Kappa Alpha beat 
Lambda Chi Alpha 48-26. The 
Chi's threw a scare into the 
KA's with a real defensive 
battle on their hands. Cash- 
ing in on floor mistakes the 
KA's ran up a seven point 
lead with four minutes left to 
go in the second quarter. For 
the rest of the half neither 
team could break to ice leav- 
ing the KA's to a 16-9 aalf 
time lead. 

The KA's increased their 
lead in the second half wind- 
ing up with a 48-26 win. David 
Powers of the Lambda Chi's 
was the only man to break 
into double figures with 15 
points. The scoring for the 
KA's was very even as every 
player recorded points.

Sports came to Millsaps College in 1850 when Gom- 
er Gulge arrived on campus with his mail order horse- 
shoe set. He set up his equipment in front of the Phi 
Beta Kappa house which was later burned down. Every 
Sunday afternoon for two years Gomer defended his 
title as Millsaps Champion Horseshoe Tosser. 

The end of the horseshoe _ _ _ _ .

only loss of the year was to 

Bel haven College, an all girls 

school. 

Gobolacks 

The first Millsaps home 
basketball game was played 
on the grass court in front of 
Founders Hall in 1938. The 
Millsaps Ministers lost to 
Bailey Jr. High 19-18 in dou- 
ble overtime. Travis Land- 
over collected four hits and 
scored eight gobolacks to lead 
the Ministers. 

Athletic trends at Millsaps 
have continued to pace the 
state since that time. Plans 
are continually being made to 
bring new sports to our cam- 
pus. Night sports have been 
most popular in the last few 
years. The Millsaps night 
race track is now closed 
after a very successful sea- 
son and is being converted to 
a daytime track. Night golf 
has always been popular at 
Millsaps. 

A certain group of Millsaps 
students are fond of aerial 
polo. This game is played 
over the tennis courts with a 
helium filled balloon. The ob- 
ject is to blow the b a 1 1 o o n 
over your opponents goal. 
Plans are being made for a 
match with Belhaven's unde- 
feated team. 

Baseball Game 

Be sure and see the Major's 
first baseball game of the 
year. It will be played on our 
field tomorrow afternoon. 
Principia College of Illinois 
will furnish the opposition.

era came with the invention 
of the horseless carriage. 
Gomer invented a game 
called horseless carriage 
shoe tossing, but the poor guy 
was laughed right out of the 
Phi Beta Kappa house. It is 
suspected that he is the one 
who lit the match that set 
the fire that burned the house 
that Phi Beta built. 

The horseshoe era was fol- 
lowed by the tree chopping 
era. This era began when the 
Kappa Sigs threw some 
Northern Tissue in the 
trees in front of the Kappa 
Alpha mansion. Paul Bunyan 
was a KA pledge at this time 
and he got mad and took his 
ax and chopped down all the 
trees in front of the Sig house. 
This era came to an abrupt 
close when the Dean of Stu- 
dents "asked" Paul to leave 
the campus and take his ox 
with him. 

Hop Scotch 

Hop scotch and jax were the 
next major sports to interest 
the students of Millsaps. John- 
son Clinton, being from Rank- 
ing County, took great pride 
in his abilities with hop scc'.ch. 
No student on campus could 
handle it better. Jax were 
very popular with the stu- 
dents, especially in the dorm 
late at night when nobody 
was around. 

In 1926 sports at Millsaps 
really began to flower. Actual- 
ly blossom is a better de- 
scription. The first football 
team was formed by eight 
men and three Women's In- 
tamural Basketball Play- 
ers. This team recorded vic- 
tories over Miss. State, O 1 e

By LAVI DAVIDSON 

Jerry Sheldon, a 6-4 190- 
pound junior from Owens- 
boro, Kentucky, has been 
named the 1966 Most Valua-

Team Leaders 

Sheldon led the team's of- 
fense with a respectable 12.6 
average. He hit 41.3% of his 
field goals and 73.7% of his 
free tosses. Jerry, the only 
player to participate in all 22 
games this season, sacked 282 
total points. He led the teams 
rebounding with a 7.9 aver- 
age. 

Cook, also a junior, aver- 
aged 8.5 points per game in 
his first season with the 
Majors. John was a standout 
junior college eager at 
Copiah-Lincoln and resides in 
Wesson. He scraped five re- 
bounds off the boards per 
game, hit an amazing 58.2 
percentage from the field, 
78.4% from the charity line, 
and scored 171 total points 
this season. 

Rosenbaum averaged 6.1 
points in gaining the Most In- 
spirational Player award. He 
connected on 40% of his shots 
from the field and 69.1 from 
the free throw line. 

Tom Kopplin played an im- 
portant role in the Millsaps 
offense, contributing 11.1 
points per outing, 235 total 
points. Tom stripped four re- 
bounds per game off the 
boards and led the free throw 
department with an 85.2 per- 
centile. 

Lettermen 

Ronnie Husband, a former 
Pearl High School star, 
earned his second letter along 
with Dick Lee, a 5-11 senior 
from York, Pennsylvania, and 
Doug Greene, a 6-1 senior 
from Oliver Springs, Tenn. 

Tommy Cummings, Ron 
Hoffman, Rosenbaum, Shel- 
don, Cook, Kopplin, Mac Wil- 
liamson, and Bill D r u r y 
earned their first letter. Senior 
manager Mike Staiano from 
New Orleans won his fourth 
letter. 

Ron Hoffman, a junior from 
Orlando, Florida, was among 
the leading rebounders with a 
5.3 per game average and a 
6.6 point per game output. 

Bill Drury average 6.3 
points a clip and snatched 5.5 
rebounds each game. 

Overall, the Majors aver- 
aged 73.4 points per game to 
an 85.3 mark for the oppon- 
ents. In the rebounding cate- 
gory, the Millsaps boys bat-

tied the opponents about even 
under the boards. 

The Methodists made good 
on 40.7% of their field goals 
to the opponents 43.4, a very- 
small difference. From the 
charity line, the Majors hit 
68.9%, the opponents 69.6%, 
indicating the closeness be- 
tween teams and revealing 
that the Majors' 3-19 mark is 
a very deceiving figure. 
Victories 

The Majors scored victories 
over Huntingdon, 90-84, in the 
opening game of the season; 
lost to Alabama College 84-83 
in overtime; beat William 
Carey College, 83-82; and 
whipped the tough University 
of Mexico, 81-68. 

Many games on the 1966 
schedule were heartbreaking 
losses by only a few meager 
points With the signing of 
additional scholarships 
recently, by several junior 
college and high school stand- 
outs, the Majors should be 
able to provide plenty of op- 
position next season. The 1967 
schedule has been cut to 20 
games, giving the players a 
good rest between games, an 
advantage not enjoyed in past 




CAGE HON'ORECS-Closing the season with a 319 u on-lost record, these three Millsaps Col 
lege basketball players provided the high points in a losing campaign for Coach Jim Mont 
gomery. Jerry Sheldon ileio was chosen most valuable player after collecting scoring and re 
bounding honors; Charles Rosenbaum (center! was the most inspirational player, and John 
Cook (right) was chosen as most improved player.

More Summer Jobs Open 

By MARIE SMITH rectory, are the state employ- 



Editor's Note: This is the 
second in a series of articles 
on summer jobs available for 
students. 

Counseling in a summer 
camp is another great field 
of summer endeavor; this is 
one of the best ways to tuck 
away summer earnings, un- 
less of course one decides to 
take a jaunt to the World's 
Fair afterwards, as did Ron- 
nie "The Rock" Husband last 
summer. Rock spent a busy, 
frequently frustrating, but 
overall rewarding three 
months counseling and super- 
vising about 20 energetic 
youngsters at Camp A 1 1- 
American, in Cornwall^ - on - 
Hudson. New York. 

Virginia Ann Jones spent a 
spirited summer teaching ten- 
nis and Indian wrestling, 
building camp fires, and 
scratching red bugs at Camp 
DeSoto. a girl's camp in Men- 
tone, Ala. Incidentally, Vir- 
ginia Ann was awarded the 
cherished title of "camp fa- 
vorite." Faser Hardin spent 
his summer in a similar man- 
ner (at a boys camp, how- 
ever) at Camp Alpine, also 
in Mentone. 

More Camp Openings 

Openings are far more nu- 
merous in camps than in any 
other area, with salaries 
ranging from $100 to $850 for 
the season. The pay depends 
on the amount of camping or 
counseling experience and 
skills in arts and crafts, danc- 
ing, sports, or music. And 
for those who, like "The 
Rock,"" qualify as expert 
basketball coaches (to say 
nothing of his lap running 
finesse), the sky is the limit. 
Some sources for informa- 
tion on camps, in addition to 
the Summer Employment Di- 



ment offices, regional head- 
quarters of the Boy Scouts 
and Girl Scouts; YMCA and 
YWCA; Directory of Accred- 
ited Camps ($3 plus 10c

Association, Inc., Bradford 
Woods Martinsville, Indiana, 
46151. 

Ranches 

Ranches are also a major 
attraction for the out-of-doors- 
type-job-seeker. Ernest Ruck- 
er spent an action - packed 
summer harvesting crops, 
branding cattle, shredding 
pastures, fixing and tearing 
down fences and participat- 
ing in rodeos. Ernie worked 
at the Flying-J Ranch of 
Dill City, Okla., a 1140 acre 
spread with approximately 
500 head of cattle. 

Chuck Millstein also worked 
on a cattle ranch this sum- 
mer in the state of Chiehua- 
hua, Mex. He said that stu- 
dents desiring work in Mexico 
should write the Mexico Tour- 
ist Bureau or the Mexican 
Consulate in New Orleans. 
Summer Theatres 

More dramatically - inclined 
individuals might consider 
work in summer theatres, 
such as those which served 
as "pastime" for Jim Lucas, 
George Morrison, and Pat 
Galloway last year. Actually 
Jim and George started out 
the vacation period as dic- 
tionary salesmen, but through 
a series of incidents, coinci- 
dences, and accidents, they 
ended up working at the East 
Carolina College Summer 
Theatre, a professional com- 
pany under the auspices of 
East Carolina College in 
Greenville. N. C. According 
to Jim the hardest part of 
the job was on the weekend 
— changing shows. After 
Saturday night s final curtain 
they had to completely tear

VIETNAM — Dr. Harris, Millsaps history professor, explaim 
to Charles Varner his views on the Vietnam dilemma— past, 
present and future. 

\ Letliam: Independence And W ar 

Japanese 



By CHARLES VARNER 
Editor's Note: This is the 
second in a series of articles 
on Vietnam. Last week the 
writer discussed Vietnam's 
history from Trench ruh* up 
to World War II. 

The Japanese settled the 
whole problem in their own 
way when on March 10, 1945. 
the Japanese Ambassador to 
Saigon announced to the Viet- 
namese Emperor Bai-Dai that 
his country was now "inde- 
pendent". Vietnam had now 
achieved its long hope of in- 
dependence, but how long 
could it hope to retain this 
newly won independence? 
Would not the French expect 
to come back as soon as the 
war was over? 

Into this period of confusion 
entered the Revolutionary 
League for the Independence 
of Vietnam. This organization 
is better known by its short 
name of Viet - Minh. It was 
formed in May of 1941. The 
Viet - Minh was Communist 
dominated, and they were the 

down all scenery, hang the 
next show, re-hang and set 
lights — all in time for a 
Sunday night dress rehearsal. 
Jim added, "When we were 
setting up Camelot, the sets 
were so huge and complex 
that we had to hold curtain 
opening night for fifteen min- 
utes while all the cast and 
crew were finishing up the 
painting — and the crew had 
been working continuously 
from Saturday night!" 

Pat Galloway worked as a 
first year equity apprentice 
(which means that, to quote 

Pat, "I worked my 

off and didn't get anything 
for it!") at the Yarmouth 
Theatre in South Yarmouth, 
Mass. 

The opportunities in the 
U. S. are lucrative and plen- 
tiful, but work openings are 
by no means limited to this 
continent. Next week a run- 
down on available jobs in 
Europe. In the meantime, be 
thinking. ...

first to fight the 
during the war. 

The Vict-Minh decided to 
make a strike for power be- 
fore the allies had a chance 
to come in after the war and 
to present them with the fact 
of Communist control. Ho Chi 
Minh, the present leader of 
North Vietnam, was the lead- 
er of the Viet-Minh. In August 
of 1945 Ho Chi Minh's forces 
entered the capital city of 
Hanoi without firing a shot. 
On September 2, 1945 the 
independence of the Demo- 
cratic Republic of Viet- 
nam was proclaimed. This 
government was under con- 
trol of Ho Chi Minh and the 
Communists. 

Indochina War 

The result was fairly ob- 
vious. The French expected to 
retain control over Vietnam 
and the Vietnamese were op- 
posed to this. The outbreak 
of the Indochina War was due 
to a tragic erroneous esti- 
mate on the part of both the 
French and the Viet - Minh. 
The French forces sent to In- 
dochina in 1946 were too 
strong for France to resist the 
temptation of using them; yet 
not strong enough to keep the 
Viet-Minh from trying to solve 
the whole political problem by 
throwing the French into the 



tered in Vietnam. They used 
outdated tactics, underesti- 
mated the enemy, and were 
outmaneuvered. General Giap 
of the Viet-Minh was success- 
ful due to the French mis- 
takes. By October of 1950 al- 
most the whole northern half 
of North Vietnam had become 
a Viet - Minh redoubt, into 
which the French were never 
to penetrate again. 

Viet-Minh s Aims 

The Viet-Minh's war aims 
were politically simpler and 
militarily more complex than 
those of the French. Po- 
litically, the Viet - Minh pro- 
gram consisted of the one 
magic word "Doc-lap" or In- 
dependence. Militarily, the 
Viet-Minh applied a slightly 
altered version of Mao Tse- 
tung's teachings on the sub- 
ject of guerrilla war, pro- 
tracted war, and above all 
else, revolutionary war. 

In 1953 with the arrival of 
a new French Commander in 
chief and promises of exten- 
sive American aid, a new 
wave of hope arose in both 
France and in the United 
States. General Navarre, the 
French commander in chief, 
had a plan which was 
supposed to defeat the Viet- 
Minh. But General Giap of 
the Viet-Minh was more re- 
sourceful than Navarre. By 
February of 1954 Giap had 
succeeded in getting Navarre 
to fritter away his reserves 
into a dozen airheads around 
Indochina. 

Now Giap suddenly called 
off his northern attack and 
threw his four divisions on 
Dien Bien Phu. In March the 
Viet-Minh infiltrators destroy- 
ed 38 aircraft that were vital 
to the daily supply runs to 
the encircled fortress. The 
French defeat at Dien Bien 
Phu was due to: (1) an under- 
estimation of Viet - Minh 
knowledge , and (2) a policy 
of warfare that was outdated

Ministerial Students Urged 
To Enter Preaching Contest 



By LANAY R. CARLSON 

Speaking before the Min- 
isterial League recently, Bro. 
Bob Anding encouraged par- 
ticipation in the upcoming 
Galloway Award competition, 
the annual contest for the best 
sermon by a ministerial stu- 
dent. 

Brother Bob stated that the 
Galloway Award was founded 
to add an atmosphere to the 
campus which was conducive 
to the appreciation of pulpit 
preaching. On a college cam- 
pus, he pointed out, we are 
generally in an analytic 
frame of mind, which is not 
conducive to personal reli- 
gion. 

Advantages 

There are several advant- 
ages afforded by the competi- 
tion. First, it can help those 
who have found in Christ an 
answer to human problems to 
present this answer in a "at- 
tractive rapport." 

A second advantage is the 
value which practice af- 
fords. Participation in the 
Galloway Award competition 
gives the contestant experi- 
ence in preaching before the 
most difficult congregation of 
all — other preachers. 

Healthy Competition 

Thirdly, the award provides 
a healthy competitive spirit. 
The speaker pointed out that 
oppose the contest each 
they think it is 



wrong to compete in preach- 
ing. He pointed out, however, 
that the Gospel is not on 
trial; but that contestants are 
pitted 1) against themselves, 
as they strive to put forth 
their best effort, 2) against 
their best effort from the year 
before, trying to conceal the 
faults which the critiques in- 
dicated, and 3) against their 
peers. 

A fourth advantage is that 
competition helps the compet- 
itors to learn from each oth- 
er. 

Lasting Fellowship 

And finally, competition in 
the Galloway Award contest 
can provide a fellowship 
which goes far beyond "who 
wins," a fellowship which will 
be remembered for years to 
come. 

April 19 

Lovette Weems, chairman of 
the planning committee, has 
announced that competition 
for the award will be held 
April 19. Participants will pre- 
sent a 12-15 minute sermon on 
the topic of his choice before 
a panel of three judges and a 
small congregation in Fitz- 
hugh Ohapel. 

Ministerial students plan- 
ning to enter should turn in 
their names to Lovette Weems 
or Bro. Anding no later than 
before the holidays; their 
sermon topic no later than im- 



Five Are Candidates 
In Honor Program 



By HELEN PERRY 

Graduate school is the immediate goal of each of 
the five juniors approved as beginning candidates in 
the Honors Program. 

They are Henry Chatham, a political science major 
from Meridian; Susan Finch, English major from Gulf- 
port; Michele Genthon, French major from Jackson; 
Jackson; Maurice Hall, Eng- and Dr. R. S. Knox, ehair- 



lish major from Bay Springs; 
and Joe Tiffany, German 
major from Vicksburg. 

The purpose of the honors 
colloquium," says Dr. T. W. 
Lewis, honors program chair- 
man, "is to give the student 
who is engaged in honors in 
one field to participate in a 
dialogue that crosses division- 
al and departmental lines." 
Language And Symbol 

Language and symbol is the 
theme for the current honors 
colloquia. Ten programs will 
be presented by faculty mem- 
bers on books relating to the 
theme. Philosophy in a New 
Key by Suzanne Langer is the 
major book studied. Future 
programs will include the 
honor students' colloquim on 
music and art and a discus- 
sion by Robert Padgett, 
chairman of the English de- 
partment, and Miss Eudora 
Welty on her Golden Apples. 
On March 14, Melvyn Smith, 
a 1964 honors graduate now 
enrolled in the University of 
Mississippi Medical Center, 



man of the mathematics de- 
partment, discussed Tobias 
Dantzing's Number: The Lan- 
guage of Science. 

In order to graduate with 
honors in his field, a student 
must maintain a 2.0 index in 
honors work and be eligible 
for graduation cum laude. A 
candidate eligible for grad- 
uation magna cum laude and 
who has a 2.6 index in hon- 
ors and also has presented a 
superior honors paper will be 
graduated with high honors in 
his major field. 

3 Hours Credit 

Members of the honors col- 
loquia will receive three hours 
credit. The work involves bi- 
bliographical work of a gen- 
eral nature in their major 
field. At the conclusion of the 
semester, they will be given a 
final examination covering 
the ten programs. 

Henry Chatham is a mem- 
ber of the Players, debate 
team, Circle K . P&W staff, 
and Student Senate. A KA, he 
is a legislative intern and a 



tappee of Omicron Delta 
Kappa, Alpha Psi Omega, 
and International Relations 
Club. He is an associate mem- 
ber of Social Science Forum. 
He plans to enter law school 
or go into the diplomatic 
service. 

Susan Finch, business man- 
ager of the Stylus, is a mem- 
ber of the Student Senate, 
Chi Delta, and Pi Delta Phi. 
A President's List student, 
she is an assistant in the 
English department. She 
hopes to enter graduate 
school in English and 
ultimately to teach in college. 

Michele Genthon, a mem- 
ber of Madrigals, is a ZTA 
pledge. She is the organist at 
St. Peter's Cathedral. Michele 
hopes to do graduate work in 
France. 

Maurice Hall, Lambda Chi 
rush chairman, is a member 
of the Student Senate. Busi- 
ness manager of the P&W, he 
is a member of Social Science 
Forum and International Re- 
lations Club. His ambition is 
to enter law school. 

Joe Tiffany is a member of 
Madrigals, Kit Kat, and 
Schiller Gesellschaft. He is 
leader of "The Playboys, 
Ltd." He hopes to attend 
graduate school in Europe 
and ultimately to enter the 
diplomatic service. 



Circle K Club Selects 
Bonnie Fuller Sweetheart 



The Millsaps chapter of Cir- 
cle K recently climaxed its 
first full year of service to the 
Millsaps and Jackson commu- 
nity with the election of new 
officers and selection of Bon- 
nie Fuller as Circle K Sweet- 
heart. Bonnie was chosen on 
the basis of academic stand- 
ing, past service to the club, 
interest in extra-curricular ac- 
tivities, and beauty. 

As Circle K Sweetheart, 
Bonnie will attend the upcom- 
ing convention in Baton 
Rouge. Her duties are main- 
ly in the field of promotion 
of the club. 

Bonnie, a freshman from 
Pascagoula and member of 
the Kappa Delta sorority, 
was recently named to the 
Dean's List. A secondary edu- 
cation major, she plans to 
teach history upon graduation 
from Millsaps — hopefully in 
three years. 

New Officers 
The new Circle K officers 
are Sam Rush, president; 
Buddy Williamson, vice presi- 
dent; Alec Valentine, secre- 
tary; David Atwood, treas-

T urn The Tables 



Let Students Grade Profs 



A number of students have recently 
voiced to the Purple and White staff the 
recognition of a need for better com- 
munications between students and pro- 
fessors concerning the latter's teaching 
methods. In view of the fact that the 
matter of free cuts is now a dead is- 
sue, the situation becomes even more 
important. The main virtue of the free 
cut system, which we concede has many 
drawbacks, would have been to serve as 
a stimulus for professors to prepare lec- 
tures which at least get through to their 
"audiences" even if they don't interest 
them. It is a scientific fact that no pro- 
fessor wants to lecture to an empty 
chair. 

Now while most Millsaps professors 
are very alert and conscientious, a num- 
ber of them seem to be gliding by from 
paycheck to paycheck, evidently un- 
aware or unconcerned that the students 
are getting absolutely nothing from their 
classes. We are speaking now for the con- 
scientious students who are here to 
learn, not the I-don't-give-a-d-m grill 
hounds. 

Once in a while a disenchanted soul 
will muster the courage to speak out, 
but so what? His grades may or may 
not take a dip as a result of his bold- 
ness, but constructive results are likely 
to be nil. 'The little goading which one 
student may do is not likely to stir any 
instructor to reevaluate or improve 
his methods. 

Therefore we p r o p o s e, as an al- 
ternative to free cuts, a student grading 
system, by which students would be al- 
lowed to rate their professors periodical- 
ly. This plan has been carried out very 
successfully by several institutions 
in the nation. 

Take the instructors who show up 



for class once every two weeks, but who 
nevertheless hold their students respon- 
sible for all the material he was sup- 
posed to cover. Then there are profes- 
sors who refuse to prepare lectures, the 
class gets bogged down in meaningless 
trivialities and by the time exams roll 
around one - third of the material has 
been covered. Yet the class is tested on 
everything assigned, discussed or not. 
Why should we bother to pay $1000 a 
year to read a $1.95 book on our own, 
while in class the most important thing 
we learn is Marie Antionette's measure- 
ments? And of course there are the 
read-along-with-your-prof sessions. Then 
other professors say, "See me after 
class if you don't understand the prob- 
lem, " when nobody in the class under- 
stood it. And others might just as well 
be humming a lullaby and it's a good 
thing we have bells to wake us up. 

Our proposal, therefore, is that each 
professor be required to submit a simple 
questionnaire to his students periodical- 
ly so that they can offer constructive 
criticism about his approach to the sub- 
ject matter, his delivery and effective- 
ness as a teacher. Of course the ratings 
would count only as information for 
the professor and for the academic dean, 
who might like to keep informed on stu- 
dent concensus concerning professors. 
The dean might also be able to encour- 
age certain professors to reevaluate and, 
if need be, revamp their teaching meth- 
ods. 

We feel that some program is 
definitely necessary if students are to 
reap t he maximum benefit from the 
money paid for an education. The stu- 
dent-professor grading system seems to 
be the best plan at the moment.— M.S.

MATTERS 




MARIE SMITH 
Editor 



Funny thing about how the students who sit around 
complaining about what a drag Millsaps is were the 
very ones who failed to show up at the M-Club dance 
last weekend. About $125 went down the drain for 
the M-Club Saturday night since only about 15 couples 
were present. What's wrong! 
We can sit around in the what's it gonna be? 



grill with our knees propped 
smugly under our chins grip- 
ing about how nothing ever 
goes on at M i 1 1 s a p s. Then 
when a group does put out the 
time and money to create 
some action. . .where are 
we? It would probably be in- 
teresting to know just how 
many were out at one of the 
Mac's whining into their beer 
about what a dull, creepy 
place Millsaps is and how the 
campus leaders just never do 
anything. 

One Example 
The M-Club fiasco is just 
one example of the situation 
which could smother Millsaps 
College. Everyone is ready to 
talk, but constructive action 
takes too much energy or 
something. Maybe we're 
afraid to act because if our 
"causes" become rectified, 
we'd have nothing to com- 
plain about and life would be- 
come meaningless. We flail 
our hands into the air and 
scream for "campus leaders'' 
to do something, do some- 
thin?. 

Then we crawl back to our 
little nest in the grill, with 
the warm smug inner satis- 
faction that we're not going to 
be eaten up by apathy. It's 
funny too that the people who 
seem to have the most ideas 
and criticisms are the first to 
run when responsibility comes 
"Let the 'campus leaders' do 
it," they say. "That is what 
they're for." 

More Than 4 Guts' 

And what is to prevent any- 
one from becoming a "cam- 
pus leader" except his own 
complacency and irresponsi- 
bility. Oh. it takes more than 
"guts': its takes directive ac 
tion, responsibility, and re- 
spect for other people. 

The next time anyone is 
tempted to complain about 
what a tough break life has 
given him and how bored and 
miserable he is, here is a tip 
that many "campus leaders" 
learned the hard way: Buddy, 
life is what you make it and 
so is Millsaps College. So 



Concerning Symposium 
Editors 

Regarding the objections 
which have been expressed 
concerning Mr. Goodbread's 
Symposium column, we re- 
mind you that the Purple and 
White has a letter-to-thc-edi- 
tor section, for those indus- 
trious enough to put their 
views on paper. Perhaps, 
however, for those of us who 
have been the victims of the 
Symposium editor's scathing 
indictments, a little introspec- 
tion might reveal that we are 
angered less by what he says 
than by the fact that the truth 
hurts. Mr. Goodbread is a 
bubble puncher and we don't 
like our bubbles punched.

No Discrimination! 

Dear Editor: 

In reply to that "gentle- 
man" of the basketball court. 
Tommy Davis, when I came 
to Millsaps, my knowledge of 
basketball was completely lily 
white. Although, after observ- 
ing several KA ballgames (vs. 
Kappa Sig) I saw several lit- 
tle tricks pulled under the 
goal. These little stunts seem 
to be doing the job for Mr. 
Davis' teams, so why not 
mine! What's good for the 
gander is also good for the 
goose !

\ Song To Remember 1 Next In Series 

A Song To Remember, the story of the immortal pi- 
anist-Composer, Frederic Chopin, will be shown Thursday, 
March 24th in the Millsaps cafeteria. Added to the glorious 
music of Polonaise and Nocturne in E Flat, are the 
settings of the Polish countryside and the French Chateau 
Country in technicolor. 

Paris Flach and The Marriage of Figaro are both 
scheduled for Friday the 25th. Parish Flash is a spoof of 
Paris, with a tour of the city and its famed landmarks. 
The second film. The Marriage of Figaro, was first per- 
formed in 1784 after four years of controversy and consor- 
ship incited by rts scathing ridicule of the decadent aris- 
tocracy. 

The films, which are shown in the Millsaps cafeteria at 
seven p.m.. are part of the Millsaps spring semester film 
series.

Symposium: Spring Is A Yellow Traffic Light 




By RONALD GOODBREAD 
Political Editor 

Here's to the Springtime 

breezes, 
That sing through the tops 

of the treeses, 
And lift the girls' skirts 

above their kneeses. 

—Doug Clark 

Everything seems so much 
thicker in the Springtime. 
The campus seems to get 
heavier with activity (of the 
extra-curricular type) and 
the blooming plants lend 
themselves to an atmosphere 
of static activity. At last the 
student is made aware of the 
pleasantness of the Millsaps 
campus after a winter's ex- 
perience of hard, cold work. 
With the Springtime comes 
the immediate answer: chunk 
it. 

Couples who got dropped 
somewhat hesitatingly in the 
winter are now glad they did 
it. Somewhat more prudent 
men are happy they didn't. 
And it is always amusing to 
see the annual wardrobe 
renovation of the women's 
dormitories. So many clothes 
come out of those places it is 
difficult to imagine that there 
is room enough for the people 
or women, I should say. 
Breaking Point 

Spring is a breaking point 
in the monotony of the year. 
It is a yellow light on the 
traffic light of life. It pro- 
vides that handy break to en- 
able you to make it through 
from the brisk alacrity of the 
green light of winter to the 
dead stop of a Mississippi 
summer. It is a short period 
of adjustment. It is an oppor- 
tunity to quickly (Jeanne 
Burnet said I could split an 
infinitive) turn in the direc- 
tion that you would like to go 



for the rest of the year. Or it 
is an opportunity to roar 
through on an already de- 
termined pathway. 

A yellow traffic light, 
however, is also a warning 
signal. Springtime is a warn- 
ing signal too. It warns you 
to enjoy things while you can, 
but not at the expense of your 
responsibilities. Nothing is as 
much fun as a Spring after- 
noon with someone whose 
company you enjoy, but noth- 
ing is as miserable as having 
to catch up on work while ev- 
eryone else enjoys the week- 
ends. 

Spring is the death knell of 
winter and an embryo sum- 
mer. It is the godmother of 
baseball and the whistle at 
spring training. It is a time 
to remember: other spring- 
times at other places; the girl 
of long ago; the accomplish- 
ments well-earned and the 
opportunities of future spring- 
times. 

Political Animal Stirs 

Spring is also the time of 
year when the political ani- 
mal begins to stir like a bear 
coming out of hibernation. 
Perhaps campus favorite 
elections will at last provide 
us with some POLITICAL 
material. For Springtime at 
Millsaps College is a time to 
start thinking about campus 
politics. SEB elections are in 
April and candidates this 
year look as scarce as KA 
cannons. 

But this will not deter com- 
plaints, if my past experience 
serves me. Spring is also the 
step mother of bitching. So 
many people complain about 
how little there is to do 
around the Millsaps Campus, 
and then can't find the oppor- 
tunity to walk across campus 
to support the men of the M- 
Club at their dance. But then, 
again, I don't suppose there 
was any social status in an 
M-Club dance. Maybe if the 
KA's or the KaDees or the 
KaO's sponsor the M-Club 
dance, next time. . . . Then 
we would mark the appear- 
ance of a new variety of bird 
on campus called the high- 
billed, blue-blooded status 
seeker (socialus bitchus). 
They would all of a sudden 



Millsaps Physics Department 
Given Transistors For Lab 



A large collection of tran- 
sistors has been donated to 
the Millsaps Physics Depart- 
ment by Fairchild Semicon- 
ductor, a division of Fairchild 
Camera and Instrument Corp- 
oration, for use in the depart- 
ment's electronic laboratory. 
Fairchild, one of the major 
factors in the nation's large 
and rapidly growing silicon 
semiconductor industry, made 
the contribution through their 
Mountain view, Calif., offices 
as part of their University As- 
sistance Program. Included 
in the gift were suggested 
circuits for use of the tran- 
sistors as teaching devices as 
well as all specifications of 
the devices. 

The physics department will 
use the gift to familiarize 
Millsaps students with the 
characteristics and applica- 
tions of semiconductors which 
have so rapidly become im- 



essing, and many other fields. 
Their use as replacements 
for vacuum tubes as well as 
the many uses unique to semi- 
conductors coupled with their 
versatility and low power re- 
quirements has swiftly 
brought them to a position 
that demands their inclusion 
in a basic electronics pro- 
gram according to Mr. Gallo- 
way.

appear by the hundreds. 
Politicus Complainus 

But to get back to the sub- 
ject. With the discussion of 
politics there appears the 
narrow - minded, red - tailed 
hooter (politicus complainus). 
He avoids such useless things 
as Senate meetings (though 
he now and then drops a 
greeting) or such impotent 
actions like a letter-to-t h e- 
editor. Rather he sits in the 
trees and complains in a loud 
shrill voice about how the 
Senate doesn't do anything; 
about why the President of 
the student body doesn't lead 
raids on the girls dormitories; 
about why women don't 
throw off their yoke of op- 
pression; about why a "polit- 
ical" editor doesn't write 
about politics when there are 
no politics to write about; 
about why the campus is not 
scourged of deadheads, when 
he would probably be the 
first to get the boot. It all 
reminds me of a story. . . . 
A Story 

Once there was a King 
who wanted to go hunting. He 
summoned his Court Minis- 



ter of the Weather and asked 
him if it was going to rain 
that day. 

"No rain today, Sire," was 
his reply. "Happy hunting." 

On the way to the for- 
est, however, the King's party 
met an old farmer riding a 
donkey. 

"Return to your castle at 
once, my lord," said the 
farmer, "for it will rain 
dreadfully today and you will 
not get any hunting done." 

Of course the King was not 
going to pay any attention to 
an ignorant farmer when he 
had the word of his wise and 
learned Court Minister of the 
Weather that it was not going 
to rain. 

As the party proceded into 
the woods it poured down 
rain and the royal group was 
drenched to the skin. Return- 
ing to the castle the King 
fired his Weather Minister 
and summoned the farmer to 
take his place. 

The old farmer protested 
saying, "Your Majesty, I can. 
not take this job, for it was 
not me, hut my donkey that 
predicted the rain. When it is 



going to rain, he puts his ears 
forward and when the weath- 
er is going to be dry he puts 
them back. That is how I 
knew." 

So the King sent the farmer 
away and appointed his don- 
key as Court Minister of the 
Weather. 

Since then every jackass in 
the land has had something to 
say about how the govern- 
ment ought to be run. End, 
political thoughts. 

But there are other things 
to think about during spring- 
time. 

Yes, Springtime is a time 
to remember. A time to think. 
What does one think about in 

the Springtime, Madame So- 
ciety Editor . . . ? 



In last week's track meet 
at Tulane, Millsaps captured 
four places. Troy Lee Jenkins 
took second in the 330 inter- 
mediate hurdles, Tommy 
Davis took third in the high 
jump, and Jerry Huskey got 
fourth in the 100 and the 220.

Modern Fads 'n Fashions 



It's What's Inside That Counts' 



By CHERYL BARRETT 

Who does a woman dress 
for— herself, other women, or 
for men? 

"A woman dresses for men, 
or she should. Women always 
look their best when they do." 
So says one of the observing 
males on campus. On the sub- 
ject of hair, many men pre- 
fer it long, or just like it bet- 
ter if your's happens to be 
that way. But most men say 
that as long as it is always 
near "an* lookin' good," it 
doesn't matter too much. 
However, longer hair is 
thought to be sexier. Asked 
why, one male student said, 
"Well, just think of long black 
hair flowing over a white pil- 
low." Get the idea? The very 
latest in hair styles, so far 
as women are concerned, is 
the Sasoon cut. This is fairly 
short hair with the sides 
longer than the back so that 
it slants toward your face and 
sexily drapes over your eye 
and into the coffee. 

Granny Glasses 

While we're about the face 
glasses have currently come 
into their own and are very 
attractive and fashionable. 
Going along well with the 
"mod" look are tortoise shell 
frames in the round, square 
and octagon shapes, just ar- 
rived are the Ben Franklin or 
"granny" glasses. They are 
very petit with thin little en- 
graved brassy frames that ac- 
tually look very feminine and 
helpless. 

We hear that on the Johnny 
Carson show some nights ago 
the latest in make-up was il- 
lustrated on a model. When 
she closed her eyes there was 
another eye painted on 
the eyelid. (Imagine the re- 
action if he happened to open 
his eyes while yours were still 
closed). We also understand 
(from other sources of 



course) that Playboy ran an 
article (naturally illustrated) 
on the nude look in clothes. 
Asked what he thought of 
them one student replied 
"Well you know the one with 
the wide slash all the way 
down the side and brass rings 
holding it together? That I 
like! The rest of them I didn't 
really care for. They're not 
very practical." On topless 
bathing suits "Only about 3% 
of the women in America 
could wear them." We'll 
leave it at that. 

Shorter Skirts 
Men generally are willing 
to go along with women's cur- 
rent fashions and especially 



appreciate shorter skirts. 
Some men think that the 
long patterned stockings are 
fine, others flatly object to 
them saying "they cover up a 
girl's legs, and why do that?" 
Along the shoe line, which 
men notice more than one 
would suspect, most prefer 
medium height heels when 
the occasion calls for heels. 
For informal and school wear 
they find the new colorful 
suede flats very appealing 
and especially like the cut-out 
sling backs. 

The majority of the male 
sex however seems to feel 
that "its all in what's under- 
neath."

SOCIAL SCOOPS... 




FROM FILE 




SUSAN McLEMORE 




Society Editor 





Due to circumstances be- 
yond my control there was 
no social column last week. I 
blew it!!! The following 
thoughts are a wee bit late, 
but nevertheless here they 
are. 

Despite the h e r o i c (?) ef- 
forts of a few certain people 
(Chatty Charlie and friend), 
the KA's had a successful Old 
South weekend. The "KA's 
Blow" sign across North State 
Street really did not accom- 
plish one blessed thing. Even 
a few Kappa Sig's were re- 
pulsed. (I mean really, it 
would have not been half as 
bad for the Sig's if the sign 
had been across the library 
as it usually is). Then, the 
afternoon that invitations 
were given out, someone 
sprinkled some foul smelling 
chemical around. Little boys 
must play, I suppose. And the 
poem! Ah, such sheer elo- 
quence—and a real work of 
art (??) What I would like to 
know is who in the world gave 
D. G. permission to sign all 
the names of the social organ- 
izations to it? Many words of 
resentment were spoken. 
CRESCENT BALL 

The Lambda Chi's did not 
have their Pirate Party. How- 
ever, on March 26, they will 
have the Crescent Ball. It will 
be at the Country Club of 
Jackson in the main ballroom 
from 8 till 12. Music will be 
provided by the Galaxies, and 
the Lambda Chi Crescent 
Court and Girl will be pre- 
sented. Everyone is invited to 
attend. 

Congratulations to Pat 
Woodmansee, a Kappa Delta, 
and Johnny Beatle, a Pike, 
who are pinned. Did anyone 
else get dropped, pinned, etc.? 
If so, congratulations. 

Have you ever had a broken 
nose? I have—and it's a hell 
of a feeling. Maybe boys' in- 
tramural basketball as well 
as girls' should be cleaned up 
a little bit. Well, I found this 
essay in a P&W of years past, 
and I really felt that it should 
be dedicated to Jimmy Gen- 
try. 

On Noses 

'•Consider this, my friend. 
Remove the nose from the hu- 
man face. Think what it would 
cause. Yes, the nose serves a 
vital use. I quite agree with 
you. Without the nose, we 
could not smell. Oh, everyone 
has thought of that. I speak 
of something more original 
and more basic. We would 
have another organ with 
which to smell. No, I'm think- 
ing primarily of the position 
of the nose. What is so useful 



about that, aside from the fact 
that it is centrally located? 

4 'My thought is that without 
the nose the eyes would not 
have a bridge of division. 
There would be no wall there 
to separate the eyes. Am I 
correct? Most assuredly there 
would be only an open plane, 
flat, between the two eyes. 

"Then, the nose becomes a 
singularly useful object, serv- 
ing as it does to keep the 
eyes from being on the same 
plane. Now consider how the 
eyes are made. They are, are 
they not, like two rounded 
peaks with the ability to turn 
to one side and another. This, 
too, is correct. But, return to 
the subject. We are consider- 
ing the nose. But this is my 
point; without the nose the 
eyes would have no stopping 
point when they turn to the 
middle. With the nose in 
place, the eyes see nothing but 
the nose. True, and this is im- 
mensely dull. 

"Ah, you are helping me to 
make my point. To look into 
an eye is, on the other hand 
extremely interesting. Yes, I 
should say that this is so. 
Then, without the nose the 
eyes could look into each oth- 
er, and finding this interest- 
ing they would tend to do so. 
Do you not agree? 

More About Noses 

"Certainly, I agree. Then, 
we would have no use for 
mirrors when we wished to 
remove stuff from our eyes. 
How this would be a hind- 
rance and cause the havoc of 
prophecy, however, I fail to 
see. 

"Again you have helped 
me. For if the eyes without a 
barrier would tend to look at 
each other, and if what they 
see is interesting, then they 
would tend to spend the ma- 
jority of time gazing into 
each other. They could not see 
to build museums and bridges, 
nor to paint their houses and 
paintings, nor yet could they 
see to read, either the litera- 
ture of our age or the notes 
on a score of music. Why they 
could not even see to walk. 
Am I not speaking true? 

"I suppose you are. How- 
ever, this is foolishness, for 
we all have noses. 

"I agree that we have 
noses. Foolishness? Perhaps 
until I finish cutting off all 
the noses. Only a few are left 
to go."

Hitchhiking Is Key To European Travel 



Among European students 
the dirt-cheap vacation trip 
is something of an institution 
and their accomplishments 
(Glasgow to Istanbul on five 
pounds) border on the fan- 
tastic. For American 
travelers of similar means, 
the possibilities are equally 
attractive. 

Hitchhiking is, of course, a 
key. But before sticking your 
thumb into the European 
breezes there are things you 
should know. The first is that 
girls who hitchhike in Europe 
arc not regarded as immoral 
or reckless. They should not, 
however, travel alone. A sin- 
gle girl will be picked up im- 
mediately, but Let's Go will 
not be responsible for the 
consequences. Two boys trav- 
eling together do better to 
split up during the day and 
meet further down the road. 
In hitchhiking as in life, the 
ideal combination is one girl 
and one boy. The sight of a 
young couple will inspire a 
mixture of good will and 
nostalgia in most drivers and 
you are sure to get a ride. 

Conditions vary from coun- 
try to country. Great Britain 
is excellent. The Scandinavian 
countries are also good, as 



are Israel, Austria, Germany, 
and the Low Countries. 
France is more of a chal- 
lenge. The government re- 
quires that you have a hitch- 
hiking permit, but nobody 
bothers to get one and the 
police are lenient. In any 
event, French public behavior 
— generally cold and 
suspicious — is not such as 
to encourage drivers to pick 
you up. Many people have, 
however, had some success 
by going to produce markets 
and asking truck drivers for 
rides. In Spain and Greece 
the few cars and poor roads 
make rides hard to come by. 

No Night Hiking 

An early - morning start is 
important in all countries, but 
especially so in the Mediter- 
ranean region, where the ex- 
treme heat and the custom of

the siesta tend to empty the 
roads in the afternoon. Hitch- 
hiking at night is not advised. 
The air can be surprisingly 
cold and you may be left out 
in the sticks with no place to 
sleep except the roadside. If 
it is raining, you'd better 
sleep late or go to a museum. 
Drivers will be reluctant to 
take a sopping-wet bundle of 
drip-dry humanity into their 
vehicles. On Sunday most 
drivers are just out for a spin 
with the family, and it is a 
bad time to try to get any- 
where. 

Planning is vital. Start with 
a good map. Pick a destina- 
tion for the day and work it 
out on the best roads. Set a 
goal but be realistic: traffic 
conditions in Europe are often 
worse than in the U.. S. and 
the distances you can cover 
are appreciably less. Stick to

your plans. A well-meaning 
motorist may give you a long 
ride, but you could end up on 
an isolated stretch of road, 
miles from your intended 
destination with little chance 
of another lift. 

Getting Rides 

Position on the road is im- 
portant. The best place is the 
top of a hill or a flat stretch 
where the driver will have 
plenty of room to see you 
and stop. Along the German 
Autobahn and the Italian 
autostrada, hitchhiking is 
verboten, but rides can be 
gotten if you stand on the 
entry road. Here, or any- 
where else, a simple sign in 
the local language indicating 
destination is helpful. Travel 
light — you may on occasion 
be forced to do some real hik- 
ing if rides fail. And be open 



to suggestions from other 
hitchhikers. Their experience 
can prove invaluable. 

A final note: people don't 
like being made to feel that 
they are always being given 
something and Europeans are 
no exceptions. Many of them, 
especially those of modest 
means, get a terrific kick out 
of actually bestowing some- 
thing on an American. Don't 
insult them by proffering tips. 
If you insist on something in 
return, the best method is to 
bring along several packs of 
unfiltered American ciga- 
rettes. But this is a very 
minor thing. In some cases it 
is more blessed to receive 
than to give — Condensed and

Undefeated KA's Take Basketball Championship 



By REID BINGHAM 

The 1966 Men's Intramural Basketball season ended 
with undefeated Kappa Alpha taking first place. Kappa 
Sigma followed in second and Lambda Chi Alpha in 
third place. The "M" Club finished in fourth place 
followed by the Independents and the Pikes. 
Opening the last week of 



play Kappa Alpha dropped 
the winless Pikes 103-26. The 
KA's started slow only lead- 
ing 11-6 at the end of the first 
quarter, but soon turned on 
the steam in the second quar- 
ter to rack up a 40-14 half 
time lead. Out manned the 
Pikes could only watch as the 
KA's broke the century mark 
with less than a minute to 
go. Seven KA's were in dou- 



ble figures. Glenn Tumage 
was high scorer for the tilt 
with 15 markers. 

•In the second game of the 
evening Kappa Sigma beat 
Lambda Chi Alpha from the 
free throw line in a 75-65 Sig 
win. Both teams only man- 
aged 24 field goals, but the 
Sigs poured in 27 charity 
shots to the Chi's 17 free 
shots, giving the Sigs a 69% 



free throw percentage. Frank 
McEachern was the spark 
plug of the night with 26 
points on the Sigs side 
followed by Sig George Wil- 
liamson and Lambda Chi 
Jerry Duck with 24 points 
apiece. 

Taking advantage of Pike 
mistakes the Independents 
slipped by the Pikes 53- 
43. The Pikes went cold in 
the first quarter and gave up 
points on floor mistakes to 
give the Independents a 10 
point first quarter lead. The 
Pikes rallied in the fourth 
quarter but were unable to 
overcome the initial ten point 



deficit. Jordon of the Inde- 
pendents was high scorer 
with 20 points followed by 
Murf Evans of the Pikes with 
16. 

LXA's Win 
Lambda Chi Alpha dropped 
the 44 M M Club in the second 
game 63-48 after a wild sec- 
ond quarter. The Chi's got off 
to an excellant start but got 
bogged down while Jerry 
Huskey, Timmy Millis, and 
Troy Lee Jenkins put the "M" 
Club in the game tying the 
score mid-way in the second 
quarter. It wasn't until the 
third quarter when Jerry 
Duck arrived that the Lamb-

da Chi's were able to stretch 
out their lead behind Duck's 
10 points in the third quar- 
ter. Millis was high man for 
the night with 21 points fol- 
lowed by Jenkins with 15. 
KA's Win 
In the final game of the 
season Kappa Alpha racked 
Kappa Sigma 54-44. As usual 
neither team played as well 
as they should but Kappa 
Sigma simply committed 
more errors than the KA's. 
The two key factors in the 
game were the Sigs inability 
to hit from the floor and the 
KA's hustle and determina- 
tion. 

The Sigs took an early lead 
taking the first quarter 13-12. 
The KA's came back in the 
second quarter taking a 23-21 
half time lead. Despite the 
loss of their best player, Jim- 
my Gentry, the KAs came 
back on the floor after inter- 
mission to run away with a 
14 point lead. Joe Bailey of 
the KA's and Frank McEach- 
ern of the Sigs shared the 
high point honors with 15 tal- 
lies apiece followed by Rod 
Bartlett of the Sigs with 11.

As you should know by now 
the Majors have a perfect 
baseball record. This is some- 
thing that our whole student 
body is proud of, but the team 
gets the support of only a 
select few. Tomorrow we will 
play Belhaven College. They 
beat us last year in basket- 
ball and baseball and they are 
on the way to repeating this 
disgraceful affair. At last 
year's baseball game there 
were more Belhaven students 
over here than there were 
Millsaps students. How about 
doing your part and get out 
there tomorrow to show the 
Clansmen that you aren't 
afraid of them.

Congratulations are in order for Kappa Alpha for 
an undefeated basketball season. The KA's lost one 
game by one point in overtime in the M.I.T. before 
taking the trophy and then rolled through an unde- 
feated season to cop the Men's Intramural Basketball 
championship. 



All-Stars 

Also to be congratulated are 
the men who were elected to 
the basketball All-Star Team. 
These teams are selected by 
the vote of the intramural rep- 
resentatives of each group. 
The first team is composed of 
Jimmy Gentry, Ward Van Ski- 
ver, Joe Bailey, Jerry Duck, 
and George Williamson. Play- 
ers selected for the second 
team are Murf Evans, Rod 
Bartlett. Frank McEachern, 
Jimmy Williams, and Tommy 
Davis. 

Intramural softball is now 
in full swing with this year's 
race expected to be much 
closer than those in the past. 
Kappa Alpha is the defending 
champion with two years of 
undefeated play. The Inde- 
pendents ran a close race 
last year and are expected to 
be in the running again this 
year. 

Tennis 

Benny Stone and Dan Mc- 
Kee picked up the only Mill- 
saps win last week in our 
tennis match with Vanderbilt. 
Stone, playing number one 
singles, was beaten 8-6, 7-5, 
and McKee was beaten play- 
ing number two singles. They 
later joined to take the top 
doubles match. 

It should be pointed out 
that Vanderbilt had already 
had three meets and much 
practice. Due to the weather 
here in the past few weeks 
the Majors had been able to 
practice only a few times.

prompted by a number of the 
players themselves. Appar- 
ently it is not the opinion of 
all the players that participate 
that life and limb should be 
endangered in a game de- 
signed for fun. 

Referring to games played 
between Kappa Alpha and 
Kappa Sigma the letter writ- 
er has said what is good for 
the gander is also good for 
the goose. If she thinks that 
these ball games are ex- 
emplary and believes in this 
type of play then she is wel- 
come to her own opinion, but 
the fact remains that just be- 
cause one team can play dirty 
basketball does not mean that 
it's right for everyone. 
Baseball Note 

Belhaven's Clansmen will 
climb Methodist Hill to- 
morrow to try to take home a 
baseball victory. This will be 
the first time that the Majors 
have played Belhaven this 
year in baseball. So far we 
haven't been able to beat the 
Presbyterians in quite some 
time. Try to be at the game 
because it looks bad to see 
the stands full of Belhaven 
students.

How To Succeed In Play Production Without School Support 



By PAT GALLOWAY 



I don't intend to bewail and 
deplore at length, but before 
I begin my review of Luther 
I would like to point out that 
only one fourth of the student 
body saw it — quite a record 
when one considers that the 
Millsaps Players are produc- 
ing the best student theatre in 
Mississippi. The Business 
Manager has announced that 
for the next show, Haw to 
Succeed in Business Without 
Really Trying (for which, in- 
cidentally, try-outs will be

sometime in the near future), 
every effort will be made to 
insure that the student ID be 
used only by the student to 
whom it belongs. 

Now to the review. Frank 
Hains, in his review of this 
show in the Jackson Daily 
News, pointed out that the 
youthfulness of the cast boded 
well for the Players 1 future 
seasons, and in doing so made 
his most valid criticism of 
Luther — that the cast was 
largely inexperienced. This is 
not to say that the perform- 
ance was not good, but only 
that, given two years of ma- 
turity on the part of the en- 
tire cast, that it could have 
been a bit more polished. The 
main justification for this 
point could be found in faulty 
diction, somewhat disorgan- 
ized scene changes, and a 
small plethora of backstage 
noise. 

Sensitive Interpretation 

Performances were, on the 
whole, good. Walter Slaughter 
gave a sensitive interpreta- 
tion of the title role and main-

tained the proper amount of 
dramatic tension throughout 
the play; his sermons from 
Vic Clark's wonderfully exag. 
gerated pulpit were quite 
strong, and the depth of his 
performance in the last scene 
tempts this writer to wonder 
what he might do with a 
calmer, more contained role. 
The continuity of the play was 
maintained by two other roles 
—-Mark Matheny's warm, en- 
gaging Staupitz and Henry 
Chatham's effective portrayal 
of the Old Order in a some- 
what abstract knight whose 
diction could stand some 
work. 

Other strong performances 
were given in key roles, the 
most remarkable of which 
was that of Tetzel. As writ- 
ten, the part is tailor-made 
for a good performance, and 
Barry McGehee did not fail 
to do it justice in true Elmer 
Gantry style. Another fine 
character portrayal was 
turned in by Lewis Davis as 
Luther's father; one more 
show with an equal improve- 
ment in diction over the first 
rehearsals for this show, and 
Mr. Davis should be ready for

bigger things. Joe Ellis gave 
a memorable performance as 
Cajetan, the papal legate, a 
fatherly, understanding repre- 
sentative of the Church. As 
opposed to this, Mike Moore's 
Leo was properly dissipated 
and choloeric. 

Chorus Excellent 

Lack of space does not per- 
mit me to enumerate the rest 
of the supporting roles, which 
were all well within the mood 
of the play, but special men- 
tion must be made of the 
"chorus" (as I am afraid I 
cannot refrain from calling 
them)— That large group of 
supernumeraries who played 
Augustinians, Dominicans, 
and peasants at the drop of 
a make-up brush. Their sing- 
ing, directed by E 1 w o o d 
Thornton, gave the play its 
atmosphere; the chants were 
particularly impressive, and 
I'm sure none will soon forget 
their powerful rendition of "A 
Mighty Fortress." 

All in all, it was a good 
show, well-attended by town 
audiences. But as long as 
we're on this school spirit 
drive, let me remind the stu- 
dent body that if they are not 
aware of the excellence of 
their school's productions, at 
least the rest of the state 
(and I'm not going too far 
when I say the rest of the 
South) is.

Turtle Soup 

By DONNIE BUTLER 

People ask me why I frown so often. They wonder 

why I want to be a novelist and live in Australia. They 

don't even understand why my three favorite things 

are mountains, oceans and deserts. They accuse me 

of being a non-conformist, a rebel and of living in an 

idealistic dream world. They e . . _ . mmmm

It. Later I heard that all the 
parents said I was an atheist, 
communist, and a worthless 
playboy. I voiced my opinion 
to a wall and it fell on top of 
me. It offered no reasonable 
or rational reply or argument. 
It was simply brute force 
which hoped to take me with 
it on its way down. I began 
walking the streets at night 
and writing bizarre poetry 
during the day. Finally some- 
one said they heard I had a 
good memory and that I 
should go to college. 

At college I was given a 
large private room in a quiet 
dormitory inhabited by ma- 
ture young men. I took a 
course called How to Think 
What You Feel and Not Show 
It. I learned how to say "I'm 
Bored'* in seven different lan- 
guages. I met girls who for- 
get my name and competed 
with each other in sophistica- 
tion, frustrated that they 
could no longer stay out as 
late at night as they could in 
high school. I was introduced 
to Beowulf and to brotherhood 
organizations who wrote on 
the bathroom walls about 
other brotherhood organiza- 
tions. I listened to phoney dis- 
cussions about a cosmopolitan 
mystic named Seymour. I 
learned the dates of the 
French Revolution. I saw a 
girl named Anastasia whom I 
never had the opportunity to 
meet. I was told that people 
were superior to God because 
God only created air while it 
took people to come up with 
cigarettes. Finally I was told 
that I might have to go fight 
for my freedom. 

I asked why the fight was 
worthwhile and was told that 
it was because I had the right 
to vote. I even had the right 
to vote wrong. Here I am with 
the right to vote and I can't 
even find a purpose for my 
middle toe. I was caught 
laughing in bed and was sent 
a blue card saying that good 
memory or not I had to copy 
my own notes. 

I phoned a girl I had once 
liked and asked her if she had 
changed any. She said I was 
an idealistic fool and hung up. 
I was depressed. I read some 
hidden secrets about Jacque- 
line Kennedy in Teen Screen. 
I studied a book on national 
flags. My roommate read me 
a poem by Edgar Guest. I 
wrote a half of a novel en- 
titled I Live In A Teenage 
Old Age Home or My Hair 
Hurts. Finally I decided to go 
for a walk. A warden yelled 
out for me to please don't step 
on the turtles. The path was 
infested with them. What 
could I do? I have big feet. 



claim I advocate free love 
and laissez-faire capitalism. 
My mother thinks the only 
reason I'm at college is to 
find a wife. Everybody asks 
why I refer to life as a bath 
in solicitude. What can I say? 
Shall I spout off my whole 
life history? 

I am inimitably shy and 
timid. I am constantly in a 
bad mood. Boredom and pris- 
ons plague me. 1 spend my 
life trying to ignore harm- 
less, obnoxious wardens with 
sharp pesty teeth. Wardens 
are innate dishwashers who 
dedicate their lives to pleas- 
ing tradition and parents. Par- 
ents are good for giving life. 
Tradition is good for square 
knots. Most of it is slimy. I 
prefer porpoises. 

I have been attacked by an 
inconquerable swarm of 
turtles. You know what turtles 
are. They crawl, way down 
low and very slowly, and tuck 
in their puny heads when the 
going gets rough. I like salt 
water, grasshoppers, bubble 
gum, tennis shoes and para- 
keets, but I abhor turtles. 
Perhaps a good vicious snap- 
ping turtle would be okay, but 
they aren't around. I see only 
lethargic, listless turtles which 
clod up the path and squeak 
when I try to walk. 

The turtles took a bearded 
sword and split open life, 
drained its insides into a cel- 
lophane sack, and buried it 
under a bridge made out of 
multiplication tables. They 
camped this side of the bridge 
and covered themselves with 
a filthy shell they could look 
out of but not see through. 
The green turtles were al- 
lowed to vote and elected a 
papa turtle whom they 
thought could probably leave 
his head out in the slime the 
longest. 

Somehow I was discovered 
and encouraged to join the 
slime and wallow a bit. I wal- 
lowed. A girl and I were kiss- 
ing and embracing in her liv- 
ing room. Her parents came 
in, ordered me out with an in- 
vitation never never to return, 
castigated her, and asked her 
why she didn't follow their 
example of a good, respecta- 
ble and worthwhile life. They 
had been watching television. 

Ever since that night I have 
had intolerable nightmares 
about alarm clocks. I felt 
stupid. I felt uncultured. I 
gave up kissing and embrac- 
ing. I read poems by Ezra 
Pound and wrote one-sixth of 
a novel which I entitled The 
Night Shines Darker When 
the Day is Away. I took up 
dancing until I came down 
with a hang nail. I polished 
my shoes and bought a belt. 
I wrote an article in the 
school paper entitled The Day 
Is Upside 



LETTERS TO 
THE EDITOR 

Calls For 
'Bitching To End 

Dear Editor, Administration, 
Faculty, and Student Body: 

I'm tired of all the bitching. 
In the last issue of the Purple 
and White I was reprimanded 
for not attending the "M" 
Club dance. I have an ex- 
cused absence: I was in Lu- 
ther at the time. But, let me 
make it clear that I would not 
have attended anyway. 
Dances are not my forte and 
I usually avoid any excess of 
four a year. This, I suppose, 
gives me the necessary quali- 
fications for membership in 
A.P.A.T.H.Y. Think so? Read 
further and I shall demon- 
strate. 

I wrote my first letter to 
the editor in spring of 1963; 
in the three years that have 
followed, I have: (1) been v. 
pres. and pres. of the Mill- 
saps Players; (2) been v pres. 
and pres. of Alpha Psi Ome- 
ga; (3) appeared in eleven 
Players productions, two Op- 
era Guild productions and one 
L.T. show; (4) have sung in 
over fifty performances with 
the Madrigal Singers; (5.) 
have written a mass and sev- 
eral pieces of incidental mu- 
sic; (6) been an officer of 
L.X.A. and served on the Rit- 
ual Team for three years; 
(7) participated in a mock 
convention; (8.) worked 
downtown; (9.) been an as- 
sistant to the Music Depart- 
ment; (10.) been assistant to 
the Romance Language De- 
partment; (11.) been in the 
"band"; (12.) attended vari- 
ous athletic functions (even 
ran track my fresh, year); 
(13.) watched the sun set 
from the C.C.; (14.) flown a 
kite; (15.) been expelled from 
Millsaps for a panty - raid; 
(16.) been on three picnics 
and a rinky-dink; (17.) been 
dropped and pinned; (18.) 
been an orientation counselor 
and various other trivial and 
apathetic endeavors. 

As the reader can lucidly 
observe (that's pseudo for 
"eee clearly") I have been 
sitting on my gluteus maxi- 
mus (that's euphemistic for 
"ass") during the three years 
since my last letter. I, how- 
ever, am contented with my 
apathy; or, in the line from 
Luther, "Even a pig is con- 
tented waffling in his own 
crap." So, when I choose not 
to attend an "M" Club dance 
or a Greek open house or. . ., 
it is because I am well con- 
tented with my A.P.A.T.H.Y. 
qualifications. My advice to 
those among you who feel 
called upon to bitch propheti- 
cally is to bitch at someone 
less qualified than I— Ronald 
Goodbread for example: I'm 
one up on him; he has never 
been expelled. And remem- 
ber, "He who bitches last, 
bitches best." 

George W. Morrison 

Editor's Note: Touche! How- 
ever, if the shoe doesn't fit, 
don't stretch it out of shape.

MATTERS 

MARIE SMITH 




This week a MAJOR matter: WOMEN. Maybe 
we're not so much, men, but we're the best other 
sex you've got. This seems to be a pretty balanced 
opinion, even in view of the editor's innate predisposi- 
tion to bias. Most MEN, however, are not quite so 
neutral. Some are real enthusiasts, some real cynics. 
We don't have any cynics at Millsaps, though, DO WE? 
The following are some famous quotes, pro and con 
on the subject, representing both schools of thought: 
Women are wiser than men 




because they know less and 
understand more.— Stephens 

You are not permitted to 
kill a woman who has 
wronged you, but nothing for- 
bids you to reflect that she is 
growing older every minute. 
You are avenged fourteen 
hundred and forty times a 
day.— Bierce 

A woman employs sincerity 
only when every other form of 
deception has failed. — Scott 

Once a woman has given 
you her heart you can never 
get rid of the rest of her.— 
Vanbrugh 

Women in love consist of a 
little sighing, a little crying, 
a little dying— and a good 
deal of lying.— Ansey 

Women give themselves to 
God when the Devil wants 
nothing more to do with them. 
— Arnould 

Blessed are the mothers of 
the earth, for they have com- 
bined the practical and the 
spiritual into the workable 
way of human life. They have 
darned little stockings, mend- 
ed little dresses, washed lit- 
tle faces, and have pointed 
little eyes to the stars, and 
little souls to eternal things.— 
Stinger 

Apparently nature, in giv- 
ing man an absolutely inerad- 
icable taste for women, must 
have foreseen that without 
this precaution, the contempt 
inspired by the vices of that 
sex, vanity in particular, 
would be a great obstacle to 
the maintenance and propa- 
gation of the human species. 
— Chamfort 

When there is an old maid 
in the house, a watch do^ is 
unnecessary . — Balzac 

In the beginning, said a 
Persian poet— Allah took a 
rose, a lily, a dove, a ser- 
pent, a little honey, a Dead

Dear Editor, 

Read your 14 Major 'n Minor 
Matters'' column in March 
24th issue of the P&W and 
just wanted to congratulate 
you on your great sense of 
humor. You are just what this 
campus needs— an editor with 
a keen insight into the rele- 
vant problems of this world 
and this college and an amaz- 
ingly subtle and yet ascorbic 
wit. I'm still laughing over 
your theme — STUDENTS 
STAND' — UP! FIGHT 
APATHY! SUPPORT M- 
CLUB CAFETERIA 
DANCES! Hilarious, simply 
hilarious.

ates Triviality,

Sea apple, and a handful of 
clay. When he looked at the 
amalgam — it was a woman. — 
Sharp 

I would gladly raise my 
voice in praise of women, only 
they won't let me raise my 
voice.— Winkle 

The Bible says that woman 
was the last thing God made. 
Evidently He made her on 
Saturday night. She reveals 
His fatigue— Dumas 

Man has his will— but wom- 
an has her way! — Holmes 

The female woman is one 
of the greatest institooshuns 
of which this land can boste. 
—Ward 

Woman's intelligence is in- 
ferior to that of man; every 
woman who denies it con- 
trives to prove it.— De Poit- 
iers 

When I have one foot in the 
grave I will tell the truth 
about woman, I shall tell it, 
jump into my coffin, pull the 
lid over me, and say, "Do 
what you like now."— Tolstoy 

I will not say that women 
have no character; rather, 
they have a new one every 
day.— Heine 

The tongue of women is 
their sword; they take care 
not to let it rust.— Chinese 



Easy - crying widows take 
husbands soonest. 
There's nothing like wet wea-

It is not true that woman 
was made from man's rib; 
she was really made from his 
funnybone— Barrie 

In buying horses and in tak-

and commend yourself to 
God.— Proverb 

Hell is paved with women's 
tongues . — Proverb 

The woman who is re- 
solved to be respected can 
make herself so even amidst 
an army of soldiers — Cervan- 
tes 

Woman would be more 
charming if one could fall into 
her arms without falling into 
her hands. — De Gourmont 

To describe women, the pen 
should be dipped in the hu- 
mid colors of the rainbow, and 
the paper dried with the dust 
gathered from the wings of a 
butterfly.— Diderot 

There is always something 
of the precious ape in the 
prettiest and most angelic 
woman. — Balsac 

Woman was taken out of 
man— Not out of his head, to 
rule him; not out of his feet, 
to be trampled under by him ; 
but out of his side, to be 
equal to him— under his arm, 
that he might protect her, and 
near his heart that he might 
love her.— Henry

Symposum: 



"They Taught Me To Tie Knots In The Boy 
Scouts So Last Night I Tied One On" 



"So long as a man 
only 

on the superficial it is 
impossible for him to 
in 



There is an inner and an 
outer side to everything. Most 
of the time it is the inner 
side that counts most with us 
—or should. It is the inside of 
a walnut that will cause a 
small boy to chip a tooth try- 
ing to crack it. While the 
wrappings on the presents we 
get for Christmas and our 
birthdays (and graduation, 
too, by the way) are very 
lovely, it is what's inside it 
all that interests us. And as 
Miss Barrett pointed out in 
her timely article last week 
concerning women's clothes, 
in reality, "It's what's under- 
neath that counts." 

Nothing comes of nothing; 
nothing ever will. If a young 
man sows wild oats, he may 
very well end up with an old 
nag. If a young woman reaps 
what she sows she may very 
well deserve crabgrass. The 
point here is this: so many 
college students are con- 
cerned with the superficial; 
so many fail to see the inner 
part of whatever it is they 
want. When man refuses to 
recognize and use this inner 
quality he is denying the prin- 
ciple of progress; he is hin- 
dering advancement; he is 
stifling growth. In this case 
he will neither reap nor sow. 
Growth, after all, is the root 
of all life, whether it is a tree 
or a little girl. Certainly one 
would not stifle growth in 
these two instances (unless, 
perhaps, both of them could 
develop physically and still 
maintain the innoncence and 
uncontaminated essences of 
their youth). Who would 
throw away the fruit of the 
walnut and eat the shell? 
Who would burn the presents 
and save the wrappings? No 
one. For if they did they 
would deny the very reason 
for being there in the first 
place. 

Growth and Advancement 

Growth and advancement 
are the goals in development 
of the person whether spirit- 
ual, intellectual, or material, 
for one who does not reflect 
on the inner-germinal — char- 
acteristics of this develop- 
ment fails to grow in any of 
them. But one can get intox- 
icated with the inner quali- 
ties. Nothing brings to mind 
a better example than Spring- 
time, as this writer said last 
week. But in actuality spring 
fever is a retreat from the 
woods by running into the for- 
est. Going out to enjoy 



"nature" in your Mustang 
with three or four girls, your 
transistor, and picnic lunch is 
not looking for inner qualities. 
It is still superficial. It is still 
a retreat from the inner self. 
There is a story of an old 
couple who lived in a tremen- 
dous house and when the out- 
er rooms became older and 
delapidated, instead of keep- 
ing them liveable they retired 
to the inner rooms until at 
last both of them were alone 
in a small room in the center 
of that great house. The an- 
swer was not to retreat, but 
to keep the outer in condition 
by keeping in mind always 
the examples of the inner. If 
someone has something you 
want, don't envy him, or 
shrug it off saying, "Them 
that's got, gets," or just call 
him lucky. Look through him 
to the reason he has it in the 
first place. Look to the inner 
nature. Then try to duplicate 
it if it is there. If it is not 
there, see that it isn't and try 
to build it for yourself. 

Enlarged Symbol 

You can do this with a lit- 
tle practice. If you'll think 
for a moment you'll realize 
that everything you want is 
an enlarged symbol— a sym- 
bol of the seed— (the inner 
nature) that caused it. The 
desire for an A is for a high 
point index; which in turn is 
a result of a desire to do 
well; which is the result of a 
desire to please your par- 
ents; which is a result of a 
love for those who put you 
where you are today: the 
germinal cause! (This may 
not be a valid chain of exam- 
ples for all students; but then 
again, all students don't make 
A's). A skyscraper is the re- 
sult of the genius of an archi- 
tect and needs of a rapidly 
advancing society. A slum 
area is the result of a lack 
of inspiration and education 
—in short the lack of an inner 
incentive (though not neces- 
sarily the lack of an inner 
desire). It's true of success 
or failure, poverty or wealth, 
good or bad work, happiness 
or unhappiness. There is an 
inner cause in them all. This 
is why we must look deeply 
into things if we are to learn 
what brought them about. 

Fortieth Floor 

Theodore H. White, known 
also for his work on the Pres- 
idency, once wrote a book en- 
titled VIEW FROM THE 
FORTIETH FLOOR. The 
Presidency and the Fortieth 
Floor, when you stop to think 
about it, have quite an im- 
portant inner characteristic 
in common about them: you 
don't know what the view is 
like until you get there. You 
can't judge the difference be- 
tween the superficial and the 
inner characteristics until 
you've seen them both. A 
young boy once built a little 
clubhouse — as little boys are 
forever doing— in his back 
yard and when he had com- 
pleted it proudly brought his 
father out to inspect it. From 
the outside it looked fine but 
the father, wise in his years, 
directed the boy to go inside 



his new house. From the in- 
side the boy could see all the 
imperfections in the construc- 
tion where the sunlight 
beamed through in the dark- 
ness. The point is this: in 
order to know the imperfec- 
tions of the superficial— the 
outside— you must know what 
the view is like from the in- 
side. Surely the old couple re- 
alized their folly when at last 
they reached the innermost 
room and saw the waste that 
lay behind them. 

Come to Senate 
But simply to realize this 
is not enough. It must be kept 
constantly in mind. Compari- 
sons must continually be 
made between the inner and 
the superficial. Relating this 
to Millsaps: from the outside 
looking in it may appear that 
the campus and the student 
government is infested with 
apathy (a disgustingly over- 
used word), but if you really 
want to know how much is 
done come to Senate every 
Tuesday night for a year and 
you will see how many times 
this campus changes from 
week to week. There is an 
inner side to our student gov- 
ernment; those of us who are 
there are proud of it. 

Misuse of this inner aware- 
ness, as I have said earlier, 
is not our goal. Do not waste 
a weekend enjoying nature. 
Do not while away an eve- 
ning 4 'shooting the bull" as 
an excuse for a provocative 
discussion. Just because you 
learned how to use knots in 
the boy scouts does not mean 
that you ought to go out to- 
night and "tie one on." 

Inner And Outer 

Remember: There is an 
inner and an outer side to ev- 
erything. Not just some things 
— everything! It is indeed a 
superficial mind that is con- 
tent with seeing the outer 
side only. Think of all the 
walnuts he will miss! It is a 
shallow mind that is capable 
of seeing only the outer side. 
He will not last long at Mill- 
saps.

Many of the exhibit pieces 
are scenes of the Gulf coast. 

Mr. Wolfe said that Bebe,

Wolfe has a firmly established 
reputation as one of Missis- 
sippi's leading artists. 



and do not have, look beyond 
them as superficial, physical 
items. Look into the reasons 
for wanting them ; look for the 
reasons for others having 
them. Look for the causes of 
their being and you will find 



the seed that will lead you to 
them. 

There is an inner side to 
everything. What we see is 
only the outer shell and is 
only a symbol of the truth 
that lies deep within.

In reply to our distinguished 
Symposium Editor's query as 
to what I think about in 
springtime: 

PLAYING!!!! It's really 
unfortunate that we have to 
study in the spring. Studying 
blows with reckless abandon 
and great alacrity in any sea- 
son — but ever so much 
more vigorously in the spring. 
Man, I just get all ate up 
with the happiness and the 
don't cares in the springtime. 
It's very good to have some- 
one of the opposite sex with 
whom to romp in the clover 
and play with at "rinky 
dinks". Ahem. . . . Spring is a 
time to remember, dear Ron, 
and hod o 'mighty, I have 
some memories. How about 
you?

Vietnam: Facing 
Bleak Future 



EDITOR S NOTE: This is 
the third and final in a series 
of articles on Vietnam. 

By CHARLES VARNER 

The French were man- 
uvered into fighting the de- 
cisive battle of the Indochina 
War on a ground and in a 
fashion not at all to their 
choosing. By the end of 
March 1954 both of Dien Bien 
Phil's fields were unusable, 
and thenceforth the fortress 
had to depend on air-drops 
for its supplies. The only pos- 
sible alternative was for 
American intervention. The 
French therefore appealed to 
the United States for aid, 
and it was at this time that 
President Eisenhower first 
stated what has been the bas- 
ic American policy toward 
Vietnam for over a decade 
when he declared, "the loss 
of Indochina will cause the 
fall of Southeast Asia like a 
set of dominoes." But it was 
too late for American inter- 
vention to save the French 
and on July 21, 1954, the Indo- 
china War came to an end 
with the Geneva cease-fire. 

During the last days of the 
Geneva Conference, after 
plans for a joint united ef- 
fort on the part of France, 
Britain, and the United 
States had fallen through, the 
Eisenhower Administration 
found a diplomatic line of re- 
treat in such slogans as 
"Peace with Honor/' and 
"Coexistence Without Ap- 
peasement." The final decla- 
ration was drawn up, but the 
United States refused to sign 
it. The United States made a 
separate declaration and were 
included in the heading of the 
final declaration. The United 
States said that it was in 
favor of the principle of free 
elections under United Na- 
tions supervision, and that all 
Indochinese countries should 
be permitted to determine 
their own future. The South 
Vietnamese also refused to 
sign the agreement. 

The provisions of the agree- 
ment were: 

(1) The three major com- 
ponents of Indochina-Cambo- 
dia, Laos, and Vietnam would 
receive full independence and 
would be neutral. 

(2) Vietnam was to be par- 
titioned at the 17th parallel. 

(3) Elections were to be 
held in two years in both 
North and South Vietnam 
to determine a government 
for the whole country. 

Communist Takeover 

Immediately after the Ge- 
neva partition, Viet Minh vet- 
erans surged northward for 
training in infiltration and 
subversion; others remained 
in the South to lay the ground- 
work for the Communist take- 
over. The years 1954 through 
1939 marked tht first phase 
of the Vietnamese conflict. 
Communist action was held 
to sporadic acts of terror, as- 
sasination, and subversion. U. 
S. involvement, under Presi- 
dent Eisenhower, was restrict- 
ed to economic aid and mili- 
tary missions for training and 
equipping the South Vietna- 



army; a total of 785 
U. S. military advisory per- 
sonnel were in South Vietnam 
in 1960. 

In the year 1960 the tenor 
of the war changed abruptly. 
North Vietnam overtly pro- 
claimed its intention to seize 
the South through full-scale 
guerrilla action and began to 
send troops southward. By 
1961, all-out war had supplant- 
ed subversion, and the United 
States responded. President 
Kennedy dispatched the first 
U. S. Combat support units, 
and by the tnd of the year 
U. S. military strength had 
almost tripled— to 2,000 men. 
But this military participa- 
tion was still of an advisory 
nature. 

U. S. Support, 1965 

The United States had con- 
tinually supported South Viet- 
nam both economically and 
militarily. The United States 
became committed to the de- 
fense of South Vietnam in 
1954. On August 16, 1954, 
President Eisenhower pledged 
United States assistance to 
help establish and maintain 
Vietnam as a "truly indepen- 
dent" state. President Kenne- 
dy, in furtherance of the Eis- 
enhower policy, and to pre- 
vent the fall of South Viet- 
nam, assured President Diem 
of South Vietnam on October 
26, 1961 that the United States 
was "determined to help Viet- 
nam preserve its independ- 
ence." By April of 1962, more 
than 5000 American soldiers 
and marines were in South 
Vietnam as advisors to the 
Vietnamese forces in their 
drive against the Viet Cong. 

President Kennedy con- 
tinually increased aid to South 
Vietnam until in 1963 there 
were 15,000 Americans there, 
and the United States was 
provided up to $11.5 million 
per day in aid. 

Since President Johnson 
came on the scene in late 1963 
the story has not been any 
different. The Viet Cong 
have increased their attacks 
and therefore the United 
States forces and money have 
been increased. In mid 1965 
the number of United States 
forces had risen to 53,000 
troops and at present the 
troop total in Vietnam is 
slightly over 200,000. 

U. S. Supported Diem 

Politically the United States 
supported President Diem. 
When the Diem regime 
s u p p o r t of the Vietnamese 
seemed to have lost the 
people the United States 
began to lose faith in Diem. 
The United States tried to get 
him to modify the stand of 
his government on Buddhist 
demonstrations but when it 
seemed inevitable that Diem 
would be overthrown the Unit- 
ed States did not oppose the 
coup. The present leader of 
South Vietnam, Premier 
Nguyen Cao Ky, has been 
in power for 8 months and 
seems to be a fairly strong 
leader. He has the confidence 
of the United States military 
personnel and with last 
months now famous Honolulu 



conference he has been drawn 
much closer in aims to Presi- 
dent Johnson. 

With the attack on Pleiku 
in August of 1964, the war in 
Vietnam entered a new and 
crucial stage. The United 
States began air strikes 
against North Vietnam. The 
number of forces in South 
Vietnam has been steadily in- 
creasing. There seems to be 
no near end to the conflict. 

Four Alternatives 

In view of the recent events 
in South Vietnam the alterna- 
tives left open to the United 
States can be generally re- 
fuced to four. These are: 

(1) Withdrawal - Obviously 
the United States is not pre- 
pared to do this because to 
pull out of South Vietnam un- 
conditionally would entail a 
grevious loss of prestige and 
would amount to handing all 
of Indochina over to the Com- 
munist. 

(2) The United States can 
press for negotiations. We 
have been doing this for some 
time, but apparently the Viet 
Cong are not ready to negoti- 
ate at our terms. The United 
States can not afford to ne- 
gotiate from a position of 
weakness. 

(3) With the failure of the 
second alternative, the third 
alternative comes into view, 
and this is the policy of esca- 
lation. This seems to be what 
the policy of the United States 
is at the present. The danger 
here is if we go too far we 
might forct the Chinese to 
give aid in men to the Viet 
Cong. This could possibly lead 
to a land war in Vietnam 
which the United States is 
fearful of. 

(4) We can maintain the 
status quo. 

Of course, at times it seems 
that the United States is fol- 
lowing all of these alterna- 
tives, except possibly the 
first. Actually each of these 
alternatives has variations, 
plus tht fact that there are 
other possibilities. 

The future in Vietnam is 
not bright. The Vietnamese 
have been fighting off and on 
for 20 years. They are tired 
of fighting. The continuous po- 
litical upheavals in Saigon are 
disheartening. 

The Communist branded the 
United States as "Yankee Im- 
perialist" and claim that the 
war they are fighting in Viet- 
nam is a "War for Libera- 
tion". The people of North 
and South Vietnam are con- 
fused. They felt that they are 
being used as pawns by the 
great powers of the world in 
the struggle for men's minds. 
Vietnam is possibly the best 
example in the world today 
of ideological imperialism. 
A constant struggle is being 
waged in both the North and 
the South for the support of 
the people. 

The war in Vietnam is more 
than a military struggle. It is 
an economic, political, and 
social struggle also. To me, 
the most likely possibility is 
some sort of settlement along 
the same lines of the Geneva 
Agreement of 1954. But will 
the controversy be over even 
then? I doubt it. 



V.P.I. Has Central Heat! Roommate 
Idiosyncrasies Normal for IN Crowd 

By LINDSAY MERCER 
Exchange Editor 

First Pd like to say that the boys at V.P.I, no 
longer have to dig their own coal for their heating 
system! When I was looking for ideas to put in my 
exchange column, a few weeks ago, I came across 
an extraordinary story of the dilemma caused V y a 
recent cold wave. The story stated that classes had 
been cancelled and the boys you're in the IN crowd with 



had to dig coal to supply 
their heating system. How- 
ever, the article in The Vir- 
ginia Tech failed to state the 
date of this unusual occur- 
rence, which happened to be 
1890! 

Roommate Trouble 

Are you having roommate 
trouble? The most recent re- 
search on roommates oc- 
curred at the University of 
Georgia and was published in 
The Red And Black. More 
than three-fourths of room- 
mates interviewed had com- 
plaints. The most frequently 
voiced complaint concerned 
sleep, or the lack of it, caused 
by lights on at all hours of 
the night, noisy roommate 
and-or friends; alarm clocks 
(not turned off); food— that 
he eats as you lie starving in 
bed; and the window open 
even in zero-degree weather. 
Running a close second in 
number of complaints was 
messiness — her clothes on 
chairs, floor, dresser, your 
bed; the darts from his dart 
board stuck in your closet; a 
week of The New York Times 
decoratively arranged around 
the room. Then there is the 
problem of communication. 
"My roommate wakes me up 
in the morning with: 'It's 
raining outside?' when she's 
the one already up." Of 
course, some have room- 
mates who talk too much, in- 
terrupts when others are talk- 
ing, or thinks everyone cuts 
him down. These are relative- 
ly normal complaints. Many 
cannot be categorized any 
way except as personal 
idiosyncrasies. For instance 
does your roommate: . . . 
use too much Ambush? . . . 
throw things? . . . help you 
and your girl watch TV? . . . 
stare at you? . . . surprise 
you by turning off the alarm 
when you need to get up? . . . 
never come in? . . . take a 
bath in the sink? . . . pour 
cold water on you in the 
shower? Then relax, because 



a normal roommate. 

Hidden Sickness 

From ancient Rome to the 
present day, we've been 
plagued with a "hidden sick- 
ness." The Pow Wow of 
Northeast Louisiana College 
reported on this '^hidden 
sickness," which is caused by 
the abuse and misuse of 
drugs. Fashionable young 
women of the old Rome of an- 
cient times put drops of a 
liquid extraction from herbs 
in their eyes, and this tincture 
of belladonna made the pupils 
appear larger and darker. 
The women thought they 
looked more beautiful; how- 
ever, the drug distorted 
vision and they were unable 
to see. Doctors' are blaming 
the "pill-madness" on social 
pressures in a fast-moving 
world. Many students mirror 
these pressures at some time 
in their college careers. 
"They look for emotional out- 
lets in 'amphetamine' and 
'barbituates,' the two drug 
families capable of producing 
a change in mood, an escape 
from tensions and frustra- 
tions," says Dr. August Dan- 
ti, an expert in the field of 
drug research. The love of 
the "fuzzy" feeling produced 
causes some students to go to 
extremes to get it. Common 
household items such as gaso- 
line, ether, airplane glue, and 
paint thinners are used when 
nothing else is available. 
Sleepy students studying for 
finals swallow an ampheta- 
mine now and then to keep 
awake. Dexadrine, commonly 
called "dex" among the col- 
lege "in" crowd, can be ob- 
tained if one knows the right 
people. And girls wanting to 
curb the appetite may have 
easy access, since ampheta- 
mines are prescribed to con- 
trol weight. Of course, these 
drugs are not bad in them- 
selves, for they have saved 
many lives; however, they 
must be used with caution 
and under proper medical di- 
rection. 



In 1915 Millsaps defeated 
the University of Mississippi 
4-3 in a baseball game which 
decided the championship for 
all Mississippi 
stitutions.

Cooper, of Yazoo City, an in- 
dustrialist and president-elect 
of the Mississippi Economic 
Council. 

Decell Lectureship 

The lectures are being held 
under the auspices of the De- 
cell Lectureship, established 
in 1948 to bring outstanding 
speakers to the campus. 

Each speaker will each 
present two lectures, one in 
the evening and one in a 
chapel appearance. All six 
lectures are open to the pub- 
lic. 

Two addresses have al- 
ready been given, one Mon- 
day and one Tuesday night. 
Schedule for the others is as 
follows: Thursday, April 14, 
10 a.m. and 8 p.m. in the 
Christian Center, Dr. Donald; 
Wednesday, April 20, 8 p.m., 



Galloway Memorial Methodist 
Church, and Thursday, April 
21, 10 a.m., Christian Center, 
Mr. Lytle. 

To Honor Graves 

The series will honor Presi- 
dent Graves, who has just 
completed his first year of 
service to Millsaps. 

Mr. Cooper is president of 
Mississippi Chemical Corpo- 
ration and Coastal Chemical 
Corporation. He is chairman 
of the Board of Directors of 
First Mississippi Corporation. 
A former president of the Mis- 
sissippi Baptist Convention, he 
has also served on the Execu- 
tive Committee of the South- 
ern Baptist Convention. 

Dr. Donald, who graduated 
from Millsaps in 1951, is Har- 
ry C. Black Professor of 
American History at The 
Johns Hopkins University. He 
is the author of Charles Sum- 
ner and The Coming of the 
Civil War, which won the 
Pulitzer Prize in biography in 
1961, and several other books. 
He has also edited numerous 
volumes. 

Edits Sewanee Review 

Mr. Lytle is serving his sec- 
ond editorship of The Se- 



wanee Review. He was in 
charge of the publication 
in 1942-43, when he taught 
history at the University of 
the South. A prolific writer, 
he has authored a biography, 
four novels, poetry, book re- 
views, articles, and short 
stories. His novels are The 
Long Night, At the Moon s 
Inn, A Name for Evil, and 
The Velvet Horn. 



View from the Labyrinth 

Calendar Reveals Culture Bargain 



By PAT GALLOWAY 
Amusements Editor 

Don't ever let me hear any- 
one saying there's nothing to 
do! This week the calendar 
has been full to the brim- 
fact is, we may be having 
trouble taking it all in. First, 
I hope everyone is taking note 
of the Decell Lecture Series, 
wfoich has been running this 
week. Anna Dennery present- 
ed her senior voice recital 
Tuesday; Nina Rhudy's is 
scheduled for this coming 
Tuesday in the CC at 8:00 
o'clock. The Beauty Re- 
view was last night. Tonight 
the Jackson Choral Society 
presents The Creation in the 
CC at 8:00. 

Next Monday is the date of 
a joint piano recital by Mr. 
and Mrs. Polanski, and on 
April 12 the Jackson Ballet 
Guild will present a program. 
Maybe all of this is a little 
bit too much culture for this 
campus to absorb, but 1 would 
like to point out that all of 



these things (except, of 
course, the Beauty Review) 
are free and that you 
don't even need transporta- 
tion to get to them. I hope 
such a culture give - away 
won't be ignored. 

It would be interesting to 
compare attendance at the 
Arts Festival, and the culture 
that is to be had for the 
taking right here on campus. 
Perhaps a high price tag might 
lure students from their coffee 
cups and into the CC. 



Pre-LawStudents 
InvitedToTulane 
Moot Court Day 



The Tulane Law School 
has invited pre-law stu- 
dents from nearby colleges 
to visit their campus on 
Moot Court Day, April 26. 
Student visitors may at- 
tend a morning law class 
and then witness the Final 
Round competition in Moot 
Court conducted before the 
Supreme Court of Louisi- 
ana. During the afternoon 
visitor will be able to 
meet with the Director of 
Admissions and ask ques- 
tions. The final event of the 
day will be a banquet held 
at the Fontainbleau Motel 
for the pre-law guests. 

Millsaps students inter- 
ested in attending should 
contact the pre-law advis- 
er, Professor John Quincy 
Adams, in Murrah 213. 
Millsaps students are eligi- 
ble for nomination to re- 
ceive a Tulane Law Schol- 
arship available solely to 
Millsaps graduates. For 
further information about 
this award see Mr. Adams.

$22,870 grant to conduct a 
second conference on the ge- 
ology of the Mississippi 
Sound. 

The conference will be di- 
rected by Dr. Richard R. 
Priddy, chairman of the Mill- 
saps geology department, on 
June 6-25. Dr. Priddy conduct- 
ed a similar conference last 
year, also under the auspices 
of the NSF. 

Thirty-two college geology 
professors throughout the 
United States and Canada will 
attend. 

30 Per Cent 

The Mississippi Sound is 
typical of about 30 per cent 
of the world's coasts, Dr. 
Priddy said. The geological 
study will cover the various 
kinds of bottoms, the overly- 
ing waters, the materials 
which comprise the barrier 
islands, the structure of mod- 
ern and ancient beaches, 
modern sedimentation, and 
the shifting of the barrier is- 
lands. 

The Gulf Coast Research 



Laboratory in Ocean Springs, 
Mississippi, will be the base 
of operations for the confer- 
ence. 

Dr. R. A. Berry, Jr., ana- 
lytical organic chemist at 
Millsaps, who will direct the 
geochemical analyses. 
500-Mile Flight 

An outstanding event of last 
year, a 500-mile flight over 
the Mississippi Sound and the 
delta of the Mississippi River 
to review the features ob- 
served ashore and afloat, will 
be repeated. 

The final event will be a 
three-day trip across south 
Alabama and the Florida pan- 
handle to study ancient ma- 
rine sediments. The return 
trip will be by way of 
the coast to observe modern 
sedimentation in clearer wa- 
ter, the high mainland teach- 
es, and the barrier islands 
which are being driv- 
en ashore. 

Last year 27 geology teach- 
ers from the States and Cana- 
da attended the Millsaps-NSF 
conference on the Sound. 



Writing Fellowship Available 

A new annual writing fellowship program directed to 
college seniors is being sponsored by the Book-of-the-Month- 
Club. 

Officially titled "The Book-of-the-Month-Club Writing 
Fellowship Program," the project will be administered by 
the College English Association under a grant from Book- 
of-the-Month Club. 

Beginning with the academic year 1966-67, which coin- 
cides with the Book-of-the-Month Club's 40th anniversary, 
the program calls for fourteen fellowships of $3,000 each. 
For the purposes of the program, the United States and 
Canada have been divided into seven geographic sections, 
each section having approximately the same college popula- 
tion. Two fellowships will be awarded in each area annually. 

The program is open to any person who will be a senior 
in an accredited college or university in the United States 
or Canada on December 1, 1966 provided, however, he is 
nominated by a member of the English Department of his 
college. Applications must be postmarked no later than mid- 
night December 1, 1966. 

The first year's winners will be notified May 1, 1967 
and awards given on June 5, 1967. Application blanks may 
be obtained from any college English Department or by 
writing to: Dr. Donald Sears, Director, Book-of-the-Month 
Club Writing Fellowship Program, c/o College English 
Association, Howard University, Washington, D. C. 20001.

Baseball, Tennis, Track Teams Record Wins 



It appears that this is the 
year for improvement in 
sports at Millsaps. We have 
already seen the improvement 
in our football team and 
basketball teams while our 
baseball, tennis, and track 
teams are beginning their 
best season in many years. 

Baseball 

After six games the Mill- 
saps baseball team has scored 
41 runs while holding their 
opponents to 20. The Majors 
have recorded victories over 
Principia, North Park, and 
Southwestern, while losing to 
Belhaven 3-2 and Southwest- 
ern 8-7. 

Principia was the first vic- 
tim of the year, falling to the 
Majors 13-2. The second and 
third straight wins came over 
North Park College. Paul 
Richardson allowed only four 



hits as the Majors beat North 
Park 4-1 in the first of these 
two games. Billy Croswell col- 
lected three hits in four trips 
to the plate to lead the hit- 
ting. Wheeler went two for 
four as he knocked a double 
in the 8th inning that scored 
the game winning runs. The 
Majors collected nine hits and 
committed two errors. 
Three Straight Wins 

In their second victory over 
North Park the Majors col- 
lected six hits in beating the 
visitors 4-1. Vic Yawn went 
the distance on the mound 
scattering six hits. Hap 
Wheeler was again the big 
man for the Majors as he 
went two for four. Kelsey Van 
Every followed going one for 
two. Errors could have been 
costly as the Majors commit- 
ted four. 

Belhaven upset the Majors 



3-2 last Friday as they man- 
aged to score two runs on a 
late inning error. A large 
crowd witnessed this game as 
the Majors led the whole way 
only to see their work go 
down the drain. This will be 
the only win that the Clans- 
men will get from us for quite 
some time. 

Doubleheader 

Immediately following this 
upset the Majors traveled to 
Memphis for a double header 
with Southwestern. Billy 
Croswell made his debut on 
the mound pitching 13 innings 
in two games. In his first 
seven innings the Majors 
racked the Lynx 11-4. Doug 
Greene was the leading hit- 
ter with three hits. 

Errors cost us the second 
game which followed 15 min- 
utes after the first. Croswell 
pitched the first six innings 



of this game before being re- 
lieved by Vic Yawn. After 
four innings Millsaps led 5-1, 
but a few errors in key sit- 
uations enabled the Lynx to 
win 8-7. 

Congratulations 
Congratulations are certain- 
ly in order for these men for 
their fine showing thus far. 
It is apparent that the base- 
ball diamond will be the 
scene of many more Major 
victories in the future. 

Tennis 

The Millsaps tennis team 
got off to a slow start due to 
bad weather but picked up 
steam quick. Vanderbilt, 
playing their third match of 
the season, took the Majors 
before they got rolling. Miss. 
Southern slipped by 5-4 in the 
second tennis meet of the

This week was our week to

Delta State 9-0. Coach Mont-

on the right track and it will 
only be a short while before 
they too will have more wins 
than losses. Congratulations 
for your outstanding victory 
over Delta State. 



Track 



Surely most of you are sur- 
prised to learn that Millsaps 
also has a track team. You 
might be even more sur- 
prised to learn that this team, 
like the rest of our teams, is 
winning. Thus far our track 
team has been to meets in 
New Orleans and Memphis. 

Southwestern 

Saturday the Majors trav- 
eled to Memphis for a meet 
with Southwestern. The Lynx 
outscored us in total points 
only because we didn't have 
men in all of the events. The 
events that we entered we 
won, in most cases. 

Field events cost us many 
points due to the lack of a 
pole vaulter, broad jumper, 
and triple jumper. Tommy 
Davis beat three Southwest- 
ern entrants to take first in 
the high jump. Stanley 
Graham finished third in the 
javelin after beating the win- 
ning toss steadily in practice. 
Firsts 

Jerry Huskey took first in 
the 100 and the 220, while 
Troy Lee Jenkins finished 
first in the 330 intermediate 
hurdles and the 120 high 
hurdles. Bruce Sumrall got 
second in the mile and two 
mile. Bole Smith was second 
in the 880 and Jimmy Waide 
was second in the 440. The 
track team will be home this 
week for a meet with Liv- 
ingston State and Miss. Col- 
lege which will probably be 
held in the Miss. Memorial 
Stadium.

Tom, i.e., Koplin & Murphree, 
make the previous startling 
announcement, with further 
statement that "Arnold Palm-

exiled Miguel Gammel . . . 
defending. 

BeeBee To Reign 

Reigning over the activities

tional is the defending first 
place champion Paul New- 
man. Mr. Newsom . . . no, 
we won't say more here. After 
all, "Good nature and good 
sense must ever join; to err 
is human, to forgive divine." 

Attractions In Prizes 

Aside from Queen BeeBee, 
Tom Square seems to have 
lined up quite a few attrac- 
tions and prizes for the 
golfers. 

i4 A big, gigantic, four-foot 
trophy will go to the first 
place winner," says Koplin. 
Handicapping all participants, 
men and women, the sponsors 
will offer prizes for the first 
four places. 

"A prize for the Best 
Dressed and Most Unique 
Golfer will also be awarded," 
say the sponsors. "And there 
will be a long drive contest 
on the first hole." 

Final thoughts offered to 
perspective golfers by the 
Toms Square are, "Bring your 
own. . . ." 

* There will be no obsceni- 
ties . . . Queen BeeBee and 
lady golfers will be present." 

ETC! ! 

All Handicapped 

So, all of you women, chil- 
dren, babies, and godzillas, 
too, "get your clubs and be 
ready for action," as T-Tom 
says. Everyone will be handi- 



capped, so that four-foot tro- 
p light be yours! As an 
additional enticement, say the 
sponsors, "we are supplying 
an autographed picture (of 
Queen BeeBee, Tom & Tom) 
to the winner." 

Millsaps' Golf Course, 1:30 
Friday, a twenty-five cents 
entry fee— and the scene for 
the action is set. 

Oh, and one final word 
from the sponsors. "A 1 1 
entrants be sure to glaf-pbsp- 
rrrrr-fmpsjqrrrr. . . ." Sorry, 
it was Koplin speaking and 
youse guys know what that 
means. 

Kappa Delta 
Wins Women's 
Basketball 

By Mebbie Davidson 

Women's intramural basket- 
ball season was brought to a 
close last week with the play- 
off between the Kappa Deltas 
and the Independents. Play 
was slow the first half and 
the KD's led throughout those 
two periods. 

The second half was a dif- 
ferent story when the Inde- 
pendents acquired a cheer- 
ing section (alias North Park 
College baseball team). The 
cheering seemed to boost the 
Independents as the tied the 
score and went ahead by one 
point at the end of the third 
quarter. The KD's were not 
ready to quit as they tied and 
retired the score time and 
again throughout the fourth 
quarter. The game became 
more and more tense; but the 
Delt's, with only a one-point 
margin, succeeded in keeping 
possession of the ball until 
the final buzzer sounded. 
Final score KD's 28 to Inde- 
pendents 27. 

High scorers for the KD's 
were Ester Marett with 9 pts. 
and Ann Stephenson with 12. 
Alice Newsom tallied 16 for 
the Independents. 

Softball will get underway 
April 4th. Check the schedule 
in the gym for a practice 
time; equipment is in Miss 
Edge's office upstairs. 



Holiday 

The men of Ezelle Hall have 
declared today National Milk 
Machine Holiday in honor of 
the brand new milk machine 
which has been installed in 
Ezelle. It is believed that the 
opportunity to buy nourishing 
milk will be very beneficial to 
our athletic programs in the 
future.

European Summer Job Open For Adventure Lovers 



EDITOR'S NOTE: This is 
the third and final in a series 
of articles on Summer Jobs. 

REAL adventure - lovers 
might like to spend the 
summer strolling the beaches 
of southern France, enjoying 
a breath-taking view from a 
Swiss chalet, or moving with 
the fast-paced life of Paris, 
London, or Rome by taking a 
summer job in Europe. The 
really fortunate might even 
have a chance to follow in 
Bob Morris' wheel marks and 
participate in a 12-mile bi- 
cycle race in Voortchrizsen, 
a surburb of Amsterdam, Hol- 
land. In addition to riding bi- 
cycles and enjoying the coun- 
tryside, Bob operated ma- 
chines in an engineer's office. 

Some of the most attractive 
opportunities overseas, in 
terms of business training 
and higher salaries, are ar- 
ranged through the AIESEC- 
US National Committee (The 
Association Internationale des 
Etudiants en S c i e n c e Eco- 
nomiques et Commerciales) 
Room 1406, 51 East 42nd St., 
New York, N. Y. 10017, and 
IAESTE (International Asso- 
ciation for the Exchange of 
Students for Technical Expe- 
rience), Engineers Joint 
Council, 345 East 47th Street, 
New York, N. Y. 10017. 
AIESEC places business and 
economics students, with 
preference given to those 
with practical business expe- 
rience; IAESTE finds jobs for 
advanced students in engi- 
neering and science. 

Placement Agencies 

There are a number of 
placement agencies anxious to 
place students in jobs abroad. 
One such agency, the Ameri- 
can Student Information Serv- 
ice, reports that over 25,000 
summer jobs are available 
throughout Europe. Openings 
include lifeguarding, waiting 
on tables, office work, mod- 
eling, teaching, factory work, 
chauffering, hospital work, 
and many more. Jobs are lo- 
cated from Scandinavia to 
Spain's Costa Brave; from 
England's Robin Hood coun- 
try to the Swiss Alps. Wages 
range to $400 a month for the 
highest paying positions in 
Germany. Conversational 
German is needed for jobs in 
Switzerland or Germany; 
French is also acceptable in 
Switzerland. In addition to 
employment abroad, ASIS 
urges participation in their 
do-it-yourself cultural orienta- 
tion tours which include hotel 
accommodations , transporta- 
tion, meals, bilingual guides, 
and on the spot language in- 
struction. Travel grants and 
cash scholarships are availa- 
ble to college students For 
more information students 
can write to Dept. p., Ameri- 



can Student Information Serv- 
ice, 22 Avenue de la Liberte, 
Luxembourg City, Grand 
Duchy of Luxembourg. 
ITE Locates Jobs 

Another organization offer- 
ing to locate jobs in Europe 
is International Travel Estab- 
lishment. Quoting an ITE bro- 
chure, "Through a very mod- 
ernized system of locating

select ITE will rapidly and 
without further obligation 
process your application and 
provide you with the sum- 
mer job opportunity of your 
choice in Europe." ITE also 
offers low cost student tours 
throughout Europe for regis- 
tered college students and 
teachers." The tours special- 
ized in visiting European stu-

programs are open this sum- 
mer. Workers are needed in

School Honors Campus Leaders, Beauties 



Students Elect 
Adams, Burnet 

By DARRELL BUSH 

What does it take to be- 
come Master Major or Miss 
Millsaps?— hard work? initia- 
tive? intelligence? versatili- 
ty? It takes all these and a 
varied assortment of other 
qualities. But far deeper than 
these quite obvious attri- 
butes lies a quality acquired 
by only a precious few. 

Larry Adams and Jeanne 
Burnet have this quality: an 
unquenchable love for people 
and life. 

Larry and Jeanne belong to 
many organizations, hold high 
positions on campus and par- 
icipate in everything from 
LLOA and intramurals to 
church-related activities. 
Going Alter Life 

It's not a matter of seeing 
who can get the most honors 
or belong to the most groups. 
It's a matter of going after 
life instead of waiting for it to 
come to them. 

How does it feel to be Mas- 
ter Major or Miss Millsaps? 
Larry and Jeanne both 
agreed it's an humbling ex- 
perience and a challenge to 
them to live up to the confi- 
dence the students have 
placed in them. 

Jeanne, unknowingly, ex- 
pressed the joy of the honor 
so much more when she com- 
mented, "Is it possible to put 
feelings into words and the 
attitude of the heart on pa- 
per?" 

Next year Larry and 
Jeanne will be out in the 
world, and their love for peo- 
ple will reach many more 
than those here. 

Past Majors and Misses 

What are the Master Majors 
and Misses Millsaps of past 
years doing now? Did they 
carry their enthusiasm with 
them? 

Last year's Master Major 
Gary Fox is teaching English 
at Murrah High School in 
Jackson. Miss Millsaps, Kathy 
Khayat, now Mrs. Jack Frost, 
is teaching 7th and 8th grade 
English in Grenada, Miss. 

Larry Ludke, of '64, now 
married to the former Pat 
Mcintosh, is doing graduate 
work in zoology at Mississippi 
State. Paula Page, aspiring 
to be an opera singer, is 
studying voice at the Univer- 
sity of Indiana. 

Master Major of 1963, Steve 
Meisburg, is studying at the 
Lexington Theological Semi- 
nary in Lexington, Ky. Miss 
M^lsaps of '63, Mary Sue Mc- 
Donnell (Mrs. Don Mitchell) 
is teaching third grade at 
Spann Elementary School in 
Jackson. 

Larry Aycock, of '62 is a 




MASTER MAJOR AND MISS MILLSAPS— Larry Adams and 
Jeanne Burnet. These two students were given the highest 
honor the student body can bestow in recognition of their 
consistent service to the school. 



student at the University 
Medical Center. Cynthia Du- 
bard, now Mrs. Brent John- 
ston, had been teaching Eng- 
lish at Murrah but now is 
the full time mother of a 15 
month old boy. 

Campus Favorites 
There are other students at 
Millsaps who receive rec- 
ognition each year. These are 
the people who make a spe- 
cial effort to be interested in 
others. The ones that have a 
magnetic charm that every- 
one loves. These are our Fav- 



orites. 

This year the student body 
chose four seniors, four jun- 
iors, and two sophomores. 
They are Virginia Alford, 
Martha Byrd, Kathy Hy 
mers, and Ward Van Skiver; 
Freddie Davis, Polly Dement, 
Jerry Duck and Jean Nichol-

Who's Dead -God Or Man? 



In the men's room of an Iowa City 
tavern somebody wrote on the wall, "God 
is dead — Nietsche. Somebody else wrote 
underneath it, "Nietsche is dead. — God." 
So they say God is dead. Why the 
furor? That is what the Fundamentalists 
have been saying for years. Not in those 
words and not with bad intent. But never- 
theless when they hold up the Bible and 
proclaim that it will answer all ques- 
tions which life can bring, are they not 
in essence saying that God is either dead 
or may just as well be? To say that 
the Bible is the final and absolute word 
of God is like saying, "Okay God, you've 
had your say. We gave you to 397 A.D. to 
say your piece. Don't confuse us with any 
more revelations." A Fundamentalist 
would never think of questioning the 
authenticity of biblical healings and oth- 
er miracles, revelations, supernatural 
experiences, etc. But revelations today? 
Foolish. Impossible. God stopped speak- 
ing to people a long time ago. He gave us 
the Bible and that is all we need. So for 
them God is a paper deity, a caricature, 
a virtual nothing. It is bewildering how 
a person can truthfully say that he be- 
lieves in a just God; yet he does not be- 
lieve that God is as concerned about peo- 
ple today as he was in biblical days and 
that he still gives guidance to those who 
will listen. 

Then there is the opposite school who 
contend that there is no such thing as 
miracles and revelations — they have 
never happened, they don't happen to- 
day, and they never will. People often 
have a tendency to generalize their own 
experiences or lack of them into the uni- 
versal'. Those who have never felt the 
warmth of God's spirit or experienced a 
miracle or the power of faith are apt to 
contend that no such thing is possible 
for anyone. It is. 

Dr. Thomas J. J. Altizer and the other 
Death of God "theologians" claim that 
God is dead because He has no relevance 
in the world today. Altizer pierces Chris- 
tianity's Achilles Heel when he says, 
"The theologian has for the most part 
performed the priestly role of re- 
membering the Christian past. His func- 
tion has been one of reflecting the past 
so as to relate it to the present." This 
relating should certainly be part of the 



role of Christianity, but too many have 
allowed it to become the only role. 

Christianity has allowed itself to be 
placed on the defensive by failing to 
stress the importance of communicating 
with God at the present. It is easy to ac- 
cept a God of the past or a God of the 
future, but there just seems to be little 
time for Him right now, Altizer is not to- 
tally wrong when he says. If the Word is 
a living Word it cannot be confused to a 
moment of the past just as it cannot be 
awaited as a revelation of the future." 
But he is wrong in saying that the prob- 
lem of the 20th century is the "death of 
God"; rather, it is the "death of man," 
or most men. We do not, as Altizer as- 
serts, "exist in a time in which God has 
chosen to be silent." We live in a time 
when most men (but not all) have chosen 
to silence God from their own lives and 
God will not force his way in. 

Many have become very angered or 
even frightened by the Death of God 
movement. Is this reaction itself not 
proof that man needed someone to force 
him to analyze his "beliefs" and realize 
that God is more than a "tradition"? One 
shocked writer urged parents to careful- 
ly censure what their children hear and 
to allow their youth to attend only those 
colleges which fully adhere to "the Chris- 
tian tradition", where they will not face 
conflicting theories. If a person's beliefs 
are so shallow that they can't survive a 
challenge, why even bother to give lip 
service? Proclamations such as this one 
from the official board of a Meridian 
church also illustrates a need for 
spiritual deepening: "We do not ac- 
cept that 'God is dead.' It is contradic- 
tory to the Christian tradition (emphasis 
ours). We urge the president and trustees 
of Emory University to immediately re- 
move Dr. Altizer from every official po- 
sition which he now holds." Is Altizer the 
scapegoat? The real issue is not whether 
or not the man is removed; there will 
probably be many more Altizers. The 
crucial issue is whether or not men will 
accept the Death of God advocates' in- 
direct challenge to place Christianity on 
offense to bring God back into grasp by 
letting Him be everything He is. 

To those who will listen, God speaks; 
for those who care, God lives. — M.S.

MATTERS 




MARIE SMITH 
Editor 



"Yeah for the culprit!" 

"Well, I'll be John Brown." 

"Oh, Oh, we're going to be 
late getting back to our dorms 
tonight! (snicker, snicker)." 

These are a few of the ex- 
clamations which began echo- 
ing through the Millsaps-Wil- 
son Library at exactly 9:28 
p.m. Thursday, March 31. 

"We're locked in! an- 
nounced a slightly bewildered, 
slightly delighted student 
bearing a slight smirk. Sure 
'nuff. A thick length of chain 
and a prissy - looking April 
Fool! note on the front door 
prevented any exits or en- 
trances. It seemed for a mo- 
ment that all other exits had 
been taken care of in like 
manner. 

Mrs. Rice, the librarian on 
duty, was the epitome of ef- 
ficiency as she calmly issued 
directions to prevent a panic. 
The situation looked hopeless. 
Then suddenly out of nowhere 
bounded the hero — Randy 
Bennett to the rescue. "Fear 
not. You will make it to your 
dorms on time. The boiler 
room door is still open." 
"Prisoners" were quietly and 
efficiently ushered out and 
Mighty Quickdraw the Night- 
watchman was assigned the 
task of sawing the chain off 
the front door. 

There are rumors that the 
culprit is being diligently 
sought by a group of fans who 
want to award him a purple 
and white heart for bravery- 
taking his life into his hands 
to create some excitement 
on the 'Saps campii. 

Spring Brings Fever 
'n Pranks 

Spring is definitely a time 
for fever and pranks. Some 
pranksters in the past haven't 
been quite as lucky as this 
one, though. The heroes of the 
1964 panty raid, the ones who 
made it inside Founders, were 
also diligently sought, but by 
a far less enthusiastic group. 
Hot Protest At USC 

On April 10, 1850 the stu- 



dents at the University of 
South Carolina pulled a good 
one. A large group of them 
burned all of their chemistry 
books in a bonfire. It was a 
riotous occasion, a protest 
against their chemistry pro- 
fessor who insisted they at- 
tend make-up classes for time 
missed while he was ill. But 
I think they call that cutting 
your own throat. 

Then there are the tin - pan 
serenades to certain profes- 
sors. Maybe the profs who 
didn't like the student-profes- 
sor grading idea would prefer 
this one. 

Then of course if we ever 
get bored we could talk to 
the squirrels or the walls. 
That has absolutely nothing 
to do with pranks, but I 
couldn't think of another clos- 
ing. 



There Is No God? 

'There is no God*, the wicked 
saith, 

'And truly it's a blessing, 
For what he might have done 
with us 
It's better only guessing.' 

But country folks who live be- 
neath 

The shadow of the steeple; 
The parson and the parson's 
wife, 

And mostly married peo- 
ple; 

Youths green and happy in 

first love. 
So thankful for illusion; 
And men caught out in what 

the world 

Calls guilt, in first confu- 
sion; 

And almost every one when 
age, 

Disease, or sorrows strike 
him, 

Inclines to think there is a 
God, 

Or something very like 
Him. 

— Authur Hugh Clough, 

1819-1861 



•fiy thing — I'm just a slob." 

News, 



For those were crude 
cruel days, the human flesh 
was cheap. 

When Jesus came to 
Birmingham, they simply 
passed Him by, 

They never hurt a hair of 

Him, they only let Him die; 
For men had grown more 

tender, and they would not 

give Him pain; 
They only just passed down 

the street, and left Him in 

the rain. 
Still Jesus cried, "Forgive 

them, for they know not 

what they do," 
And still it rained the winter 

rain that drenched H i m 

through and through; 
The crowd went home and left 

the streets without a soul 

to see, 

And Jesus crouched against a 
wall and cried for Calvary.

SARA ANN WIER 
Assistant Editor 

At last! Spring holidays: freedom, es- 
cape, change of environment. What? a 
non-Millsaps reader may exclaim. Aren't 
comprehensives almost upon the sen- 
iors? Haven't mid-semester grades in- 
spired underclassmen to greater heights 
of academic vigor? Why, then, will all 
Millsaps students flee the campus for 
this short holiday when one would think 
many of them should be extremely in- 
terested in using this period for uninter- 
rupted study? 

To students of this institution, the an- 
swer to all these questions is as obvious 
as it is time-honored: Millsaps ceases 
to exist during holidays. The dorms 
close, the cafeteria closes f even the li- 
brary closes at the slightest provocation. 
For the student who lives too far away 
to go home for so short a time, for the 
student who feels he would get more 
studying done at school than at home, 
for the student who for personal reasons 
would prefer to spend his holidays in the 
dormitory no provisions are made. Pick 
up your books, they are all told, and go 
away. -The authorities who are so con- 
cerned with your alcohol consumption re- 
ject responsibility for facilitating your 
pursuit of scholarship at this crucial 
time. 

Let's see. Can we conjure up any rea- 
sons for evicting the students for whom 
this institution ostensibly exists? Oh, yes 
indeed. 

Probably few Millsaps students would 
care to take advantage of the ability to 
stay at school during holidays. If one 
women's dorm as well as a men's dorm 
were kept open these facilities would un- 
doubtedly be far from full. A student who 
was interested in, say, staying at school 
to study for comps might not be very im- 



pressed by this argument. He might re- 
call what he had heard about how inter- 
ested small schools are in the individual 
student and how superior to larger in- 
stitutions they are in this regard and he 
might feel quite deluded. 

In addition, keeping the dorms open 
is a cause concerning which it is almost 
impossible to arouse any righteous in- 
dignation. Since, as mentioned above, 
relatively few students are severely in- 
convenienced by this compulsory vaca- 
tion and since anyone who has ever at- 
tempted to do anything about the situa- 
tion has been discouraged by the diffi- 
culty of "going through channels," "Let 
us stay in school" has hardly become a 
rallying cry for hundreds of irate stu- 
dents. 

Finally, there is the matter of con- 
venience. Convenience for administra- 
tors and employees of the college and 
inconvenience for the students, that is — 
which is the way the game is played on 
a year round and not just holidays basis. 
All those people who are so essential to 
the maintenance and operation of the 
dormitories, the library, and the eating 
facilities must have their vacations. 
Therefore, the students must also take 
a vacation — regardless of their prefer- 
ence in the matter. Couldn't substitutes 
be arranged? Couldn't appropriate re- 
compense be offered? Couldn't a settle- 
ment satisfactory to the administration 
and those involved be effected? One won- 
ders. 

While wondering, one also packs his 
books, arranges transportation, and pre- 
pares to leave his favorite desk in the 
library, his biology slides, and his true 
love for home and a big family reunion 
with relatives who have never heard of 
comprehensives and think he studies too 
much anyway. 



Do Students Rebel For Lost Cause? 



(ACP) — The most important student 
cause of all is lost in the din of raucous 
rebellion, graduate student Jay Farring- 
ton writes in the Daily Texan, Univer- 
sity of Texas. 

This cause is paradoxical. It is prop- 
agated by a vast majority of students, 
but no marches or signs are seen. This 
cause has no name, but its voice is 
heard. It doesn't shout, but its whispers 
decide the fate of a nation. In short, we 
are the moderate many. 

We are not the new left or the reac- 
tionary right, but we are blasted by 
both. We are in the precarious position 
of having weakened, our traditional ties, 
but without having severed them com- 
pletely. We question war and legislation 
and religion, but rather than seeing them 
as absolute evils, we propose an evalua- 
tion of each as a functional organism 
with defects. We abhor some dictatorial 
practices of University administration, 
but do not propose to overthrow it and 
take charge ourselves. We see the Uni- 
versity as neither hallowed halls of ivy 
nor as a free love club for the promotion 
of anarchy. 

We realize that the Board of Regents 
should control, but we will not allow 



them to strangle. Academic freedom 
means free thought, but stemming from 
order rather than chaos. Sexual freedom 
is desirable, but sexual license is de- 
structive. We deplore capricious protests 
since the voice of dissent is sacred. It 
should be reserved for the protection of 
deserved liberties. We should take care 
lest our shouting over everything at once 
brings a response to nothing. 

For we are yet infants in free thought. 
We still have many more years of evolu- 
tion ahead of us before we can run with 
our new ideas. First we should learn to 
walk, for now we crawl around and take 
each new idea and pop it into our mouths. 
Before swallowing, we' should taste, and 
before tasting, we should examine, for 
some ideas could injure our young di- 
gestive systems. Then, as we mature, we 
can truly handle any diet without 
danger. 

But our greatest accomplishment is 
another paradox. We, who strive con- 
stantly to maintain balance between the 
extremes, we who often disagree with 
many causes are the ones who protect 
the right of dissent and the right to have 
causes.

Science Majors Express 
Pity For Non-Sciencers 



Dear Editor: 

Please note at the outset 
that the undersigned are not 
writing this letter in anger; 
we would merely like to point 
out a few facts which the po- 
litical editor either does not 
know or chooses to ignore. 
Three weeks ago, in his im- 
plied censure of science 
majors' attitude that they are 
somehow "better" academi- 
cally than non-science majors, 
Mr. Goodbread also implied 
that this attitude has no basis 
in fact. We believe that the 
attitude in question is well- 
founded and we shall attempt 
to present the basis of our be- 
lief. 

The definition of liberal arts 
is given in Webster as fol- 
lows: "the languages, sci- 
ences, philosophy, history, 
etc., which compose the cur- 
riculum of academic or col- 
legiate education as distin- 
guished from technical or pro- 
fessional education." This 
seems to us to indicate educa- 
tion in all three fields — the 
sciences as well as the hu- 
manities and social sciences. 
We believe that, if this defini- 
tion is accepted, science 
majors are, in most cases, 
the only true liberal arts 
majors at this small liberal 
arts college. But this is mere- 
ly the biased opinion of con- 
ceited science majors who do 
not realize their true ignor- 
ance. Let's ask a few ques- 
tions to demonstrate this bias. 
Science Attracts Best 

How many non -science 
majors have ever taken more 
than the required six hours of 
science and six hours of 
math? And in these courses, 
if the n6n-science major were 
brave enough to take a course 
not especially geared to his 
lack of energy and-or intelli- 
gence, how did his grades 
compare to those of the sci- 
ence majors in those courses 
with him? The typical 



science major will now indig- 
nantly cry out that compari- 
son of a non-science major's 
ability in a science course to 
the ability of a science major 
in that course is not fair. Let's 
compare performance in the 
required non-science courses 
then. Ex-Millsaps English pro- 
fessor James T. Whitehead 
once told a sophomore litera- 
ture class (Spring semester, 
1962) that his best students 
were generally science 
majors, not because science 
was better or more stimulat- 
ing than non-science courses, 
but because, due to the nature 
of the age in which we live, 
the best students were gen- 
erally attracted to science. If 
comparison in the required 
non-science courses is held to 
be unfair, and we scientists 
are often accused of being un- 
fair to our counterparts in the 
humanities and social sci- 
ences, then let us investigate 
the percentages or even total 
number of non-science majors 
taking non-required courses in 
science (if indeed there are 
any) and science students 
taking non - required courses 
in the humanities and social 
sciences, and the comparative 
grades in these non-required 
courses. 
Comparisons Not 'Unfair' 
One could say comparisons 
of this type are unfair, that 
Millsaps College is an unusual 
school, that its science majors 
are not representative of the 
large majority graduating 
throughout the country and 
the world, that although we 
may have some very slight 
basis for the attitude in ques- 
tion, this attitude is also held 
by the other scientists who 
are ignorant of and totally un- 
educated in non-science. This 
complaint has some basis in 
fact, but not nearly so much 
as the non-scientists pretend. 
A comparison of scientists

Symposium: <p or p r€S ident: I Back Mac 




By RONALD GOODBREAD 




Who will be the gladdest to 
see this year end at Millsaps? 
My guess is that it will be 
Larry Adams. With election 
time rapidly approaching it is 
probable that he is gratefully 
making plans for the transi- 
tion of the Presidency. His 
job is practically done. Ours 
is just beginning. 

Looking around the campus 
through a politician's eye- 
glasses, the picture is not too 
rosey. The once-powerful KA 
political organization came to 
a clanking halt last year with 
the defeat of several of its 
key Candidates. The contribu- 
tions of the Sigs continue to 
be in other fields besides stu- 
dent government. The Pike 
chapter saw its heyday with 
the ^residency of oary tox. 
The LXA's hold on politics 
continues to gripped by the 
members of the Old Guard. 

Possibilities Slim 

What are the possibilities 
for the presidency in 1966 at 
Millsaps College? In a word: 



Campus Coffee Houses Flourishing; 
Ties Once Worn To Protect Heart 

By LINDSAY MERCER 
Exchange Editor 

Have you ever wanted to change places with some- 
one to discover what his life was like? According to 
the Student Printz of the University of Southern Mfssis- 
sippi, two New York City twins, Joe and Ed McDer- 
mott, tried it to get an inside view of each other's uni- 
versity and to see whether they could switch without 
being discovered. Ed attends Victorian, or simple- cum- 

attic. But they all have one 
thing in common: soft lights 
and informality. More than 
seventy percent of the col- 
leges in the United States and 
Canada have one coffee 
house, and some have two or 
more. 

Men's Fashions 

Ever wonder about the ori- 
gin of men's fashions? Here 
are a few of interesting ones 
from the Pow Wow of North- 
east State College in Monroe, 
Louisiana. One wears a tie as 
"protection for the heart." 
This healthy habit is at- 
tributed to a mercenary regi- 
ment of Crothians serving 
with the French Army in Par- 
is during the seventeenth cen- 
tury. The Cravates, as the 
French called them, were 
long strips of muslin or lace 
tied at the throat and rippling 
down their chest as magical 
protection for the heart. 

The sweater was originally 
designed to produce sweat. 
Trouser cuffs were used as 
mud guards in the early 
1880's. Men turned up their 
trouser legs in wet or muddy 
places, and cuffs soon became 
the vogue. The trench coat is 
still current and the choice of 
the better - known secret 
agents. These loose, many 
pocketed, belted raincoats 
were worn by British execu- 
tives or officers in World War 
I. During the French Rev- 
olution those people in other 
countries who wanted to ex- 
press disapproval of the exe- 
cutions added black velvet 
collars to their coats. The 
captain of H.M.S. Blazer, in 
order to spruce up his motely 
unkept crew, equipped his 
men with metal-buttoned blue 
serge jackets. Hence the 
name Blazer. 



Harvard and Joe attends 
Yale. They lived in each oth- 
er's room, ate in the school 
dining hall, and attended 
classes for a week. Both said 
the first few days went 
smoothly, and that no one 
seemed to notice a thing. 
Then Joe got a telephone call 
from a girl at Cambridge, 
whom both he and Ed know, 
and she asked, "What's wrong 
with your voice?" Joe replied 
that he had a cold, but the 
next day he saw her. She de- 
manded Joe's identification. 
He produced Ed's wallet and 
she was satisfied. Meanwhile 
Ed had troubles. He intro- 
duced himself to a student at 
dinner whom he already 
knew. The mistake, however, 
did not reveal his identity. 
Most of the pair's best friends 
were fooled through the week. 
Ed said a group of children 
with whom Joe does part-time 
social work were the first to 
notice the switch. 

Coffee Houses 
Hundreds of coffee houses 
have been opened to college 
students on campuses in the 
United States and Canada in 
the past two years. Accord- 
ing to The Octagon of Elmira 
College in Elmira, New York, 
the coffee house is becoming 
an important part of campus 
life. The names vary from re- 
mote references in the Bible 
such as "Malchus Ear," "The 
Phoenix," and "The Fish," to 
such amusing plays-on-words 
as "The Postcrypt" and "The 
Way Out". . .which is "in". 
Menus vary from all dinners 
of gourmet dishes to simple 
sandwiches and snacks. In all, 
coffee is served, both Ameri- 
can and espresso. . .and oft- 
en, other beverages as well. 
Decor can be elaborate and 



slim. But while many feel 
that SEB elections this year 
will be little more than an 
opportunity for Jerry Duck to 
play John Adams and preside 
over his own election to the 
highest office, there is more 
to them than that. Of course 
the vice-president is far and 
away the front-runner at the 
present time for the presi- 
dency, but like all political 
animals, Spring is not suffi- 
ciently under way yet and of- 
ficially he is "not a candi- 
date." (But to quote P. T. 
Barnum: "To hell you say!"). 
There has never been any 
doubt in the minds of many 
people that one day Jerry 
Duck would be president of 
the Millsaps Student Body. 
Dark Horse, Maybe 

But also to be seriously con- 
sidered is the always strong 
candidate, the perennial dark 
horse, the Dean of the Mill- 
saps Senate: Senator Fred 
Davis. With credentials show- 
ing election to the Senate by 
the student body at large by 
a 6S c f majority, the Senator's 
voter-appeal is not to be over- 
looked by any means. And the 
fact that the KA's made the 
unexcusable bungle of sus- 
pending him from the chapter 
is going to get him more votes 
than he knows what to do 
with, should he run. 

And while we're speaking 
of Dark Horses, Senator Jim 
Carroll should not be forgot- 
ten. Of course Senator Car- 
roll would find it difficult to 
run against Vice - President 
Duck, his fraternity brother, 
but the fact that he pulled 
such an astounding upset in 
the race for the Senate last 
year could definitely put his 
hat in the presidential riifcj. 

Vice-Presidency Tight 

The race for the vice-presi- 
dency is a little tighter Prob- 
ably the leading contender at 
this time is Senator Mark 
Matheny. His exemplary con- 
duct in the Senate this year 
marks him as a very prob- 
able candidate for higher 
office. Matheney could well 
be on his way to duplicate the 
political career of Jerry 
Duck. To those who have 
watched them both in politics 
their records seem almost 
identical. 

A good many people would 
like to see Rick Fortenberry 
run for the Vice-Presidency, 
but Fortenberry, having been 
away a full semester in Wash- 
ington, does not have a solid 
political base. Many doubt 
that he would give up his 
books for high office, anyway. 
Still he is to be considered, 
even though two Lambda 
Chi's are in the running for 
the presidency. 
Chatham, Hall, or Newsom? 

At one time it was thought 
that Senator Henry Chatham 
would run for the second 
office, but at this time he is 
planning to go to the Wash- 
ington Semester next year. 
While he would make a strong 
race, his record in the Senate 
would be hard to overcome. 

Senator Maurice Hall has 
done excellent work in the 
Senate this year but the Hon- 

The difference between a 
conviction and a prejudice is 
that you can explain a con- 
viction without getting angry. 



ors Program and the Busi- 
ness Office of the P&W may 
keep him out of politics. No 
one however, could handle the 
vice-presidency with more 
efficiency and integrity than 
could Senator Hall. 

Senator Paul Newsom has 
surprised political observers 
on several occasions and may 
well have his name on the 
ballot when election time rolls 
around. 

The race for the Secretary's 
Office is wide open and this 
writer has no comments on it. 
Suffice it to say that there 
will NEVER be another 
Jeanne Burnet. 

Treasury Not for Grabs 

The Treasurer's office is 
probably not up for grabs. 
The incumbent is almost sure 
for re-election in spite of poor 
press relations. No one could 
possibly take issue with Miss 
Dement's handling of the fi- 
nances. Should she decide to 
leave the job open, however, 
it is possible that for the first 
time in over two years, the 
Treasury of the SEB would 
be handled by someone be- 
side a KD. Perhaps a Chi O 
named Felder? Or a Phi Mu 
named Wachs? Or a Z e t a 
named McDonald. Who 
knows? 

Before anyone draws any 
conclusions, let me point this 
cut: none of these statements 
should be considered endorse- 
ments of the above people. 
All opinions are hearsay and 



are not to be construed as fact 
in any way. There are indeed 
many other fine people who 
should be considered as can- 
didates; these are just a few 
that this writer has heard 
mentioned recently. 

Back Mack 

Again the SYMPOSIUM edi- 
tor Is not endorsing any of the 
above candidates for office. 
He has but one endorsement 
to make. I think the Presi- 
dency needs a new outlook. 
New ideas need to be forth- 
coming and someone needs to 
fill the job that everyone can 
get along with. For this rea- 
son I am supporting our illus- 
trious Society Editor f o r 
President. Not only does she 
write the best damned col- 
umn in this blinkin' newspa- 
per, but I definitely do dig 
her outlook on the Millsaps 
scene. How about you? For 
further information write the 
National Draft McLemore 
Headquarters, Box 15133, Mill- 
saps College, and get your 
tree "1 BACK MAC" button. 

But in case we don't win, 
be thinking about some of 
these other characters. 



Letter To 
The Editor 

Dear Editor: 

It is my humble opinion 
that Mr. George W. Morrison 
ir, the April 1, P&W made a 
first-class "gluteus maximus" 
of himself.

Greeks Planning Week's 
Festivities For May 



By GRAHAM LEWIS 

The Greeks of Millsaps this 
year are going "camp" by 
joining the fight against 
apathy. GREEK WEEK A- 
GO-GO has been thrown 
around in the IFC since 
spring when Ward van Skiver 
first brought it up. 

The IFC and Pan-Hellenic 
had a joint meeting in Decem- 
ber. A Steering committee 
chairmaned by Ward was set 
up and plans were under way. 
According to the Chairman 
the "Week" this year will be 
on a Week-end, May 13 and 
14. It will begin Friday after- 
noon with a golf match. The 
co-chairmen of the Links 
Committee are two well quali- 
fied members of the golf 
team, Tom Murphree and 
Tommy K o p p 1 i n. Friday 
night the students plan to re- 
vive an old 'Saps tradition, 
Stunt Night. Each Greek or- 
ganization is working up a 
stunt based on a popular T.V. 
show of their own choice. 
The co-chairmen in charge of 
this event of fun and frolic in 
front of the Union (unless rain 
moves it into the cafeteria) 
are Virginia Ann Jones and 
Floy Holloman. 

LXA Field Day 

Saturday, along with the 
school-sponsored Alumni Day, 
the Lambda Chi's are spon- 
soring their annual Field Day 
for men and initiating Derby 
Day for the weaker sex. 
Chairmen of these events are 
Frank Wells and Preacher 
Hallford. Ben Mitchell is try- 



ing his best to line up some 
entertainment for the Greek 
Week Dance. Already he's 
been shafted by Sir Douglas 
and his Quintet. At last re- 
port he was hot on the trail 
of Bobby Bland. Only Greeks 
and their guest will be ad- 
mitted to this grand finale of 
the Greek's Week. Tickets will 
be issued to each social group 
by the number of members 
they have. The committee is 
asking the faculty for a two 
o'clock night in order for the 
dance to be scheduled from 
9 to 1. To quote Ward, "If 
Millsaps is to have an Ivy 
Touch, why not give the stu- 
dents Ivy Hours?" 

Carnival Next Year 

If Greek Week this year is 
as successful as we expect, 
bigger things are planned for 
next year. One is a carnival 
patterned after the PTA's 
Halloween carnival. Proceeds 
from this will go for 
some campus improvement 
like starting an air conditioner 
fund for the CC. 

If a n y.o n e not already 
working on Greek Week A 
Go-Go would like to help the 
Greek's Anti-Apathy Commit- 
tee, I'm sure the following 
members will be glad to put 
you to work: Ward Van Ski- 
ver— KA, Genrose Mullen-PM, 
Virginia Ann Jones — Chi O, 
Floy Holloman-KD, Sandy 
Newbum-ZTA, Ben Mitchell- 
KS, Tommy Tucker, PiKa, and 
Frank Wells-LXA. These peo- 
ple ask your utmost support 
in the coming fight against 
APATHY on Ye ole Campii.

In Spring A Geologist's Fancy 
Turns ... To Loess Dating 



GRA-Y'ERS — "Can't you let us go home early to watch 'Bat 
Man' just this once, Coach, huh, huh?" Beryl Van Lierop 
ponders this youthful query at the track meet here last week- 
end all the while reminding himself of the rewards of helping 
boys become men in the Gra-Y program. 

Gra-Y Coaching Provides Rich 
Experience For 'Saps Leaders 



By MARIE SMITH 

Just what do you get out 
of coaching little men in the 
Gra-Y program? "Many 
things. It's hard to say really. 
Mainly watching them im- 
prove and develop." 

"It's great when you keep 
working with them and they 
don't seem to catch on at 
first; then all of a sudden 
they've got it." 

"Kids are great. You can 
learn a lot from them." 

"Being a Gra-Y coach is 
like having about 45 little 
brothers." 

These are only a few of the 
many comments which Mill- 
saps men made regarding 
their part time work as 
coaches in the YMCA Gra-Y 
program. Arch Long, Millsaps 
student and assistant direc- 
tor of the program, said, "We 
try to build scholarship, ath- 
letic ability, and Christian 
gentlemen. Mind, body, and 
spirit is the three-fold concern 
of the Y." 

Most From Millsaps 

Arch said that most of the 
Gra-Y leaders are selected 
from Millsaps each year. This 
year 12 of the 14 lead- 
ers attend the 'Saps. Each 
leader is assigned to work 
with the Gar-Y youngsters in 
one of the 13 Jackson ele- 
mentary schools, coach- 
ing them in football, basket- 
ball, and track, according to 
the season. Gra-Y clubs in 
each school elects its officers 
and the youngsters have a 
chance to learn democratic 
principles. Only some don't 
learn as fast as others. Reid 
Bingham related an amusing 
incident about the little fellow 
who was elected treasurer of 
the McWillie Gra-Y group. 
Reid said one day the young- 
ster collected 20c in fines 
from students who had been 
talking out of turn and pro- 
ceeded to purchase himself 
an Icey. "He just thought get- 
ting rid of the money was part 
of the treasurer's job," Reid 
said. "Needless to say, the 
young treasurer was almost 
impeached." 



Basketball Tackle 

Then some of the little guys 
occasionally have trouble 
keeping their games straight. 
Reid cited the case of the 
fourth graders who were be- 
ing assigned their positions 
on the basketball team. "I 
told one boy to play center; 
another to play guard. Then 
one husky little fellow, who 
had been first string tackle on 
the football team, jumped up 
and screamed, "I want to 
play tackle!" He started cry- 
ing because he couldn't play 
tackle on the basketball 
team." 

Other Millsaps students cur- 
rently working as Gra-Y 
coaches are Beryl Van Lierop, 
Russell Harmon, Charles Jol- 
ly, David Martin, Kelsey Van 
Every, Ricky Fortenberry, 
John Rohrer, Johnny Nikolic, 
Sam Meredith, and Jim Car- 
roll. In addition to his actual 
coaching duties, Jim is over- 
all leader supervisor. 

Millsaps students who have 
worked as Gray-Y leaders in 
the past include Doug Greene 
Rod Bartlett, Ron Husband, 
Charles Rains, and Scott 
Cof field. Dr. Hughes Cox 
was also a leader while a stu- 
dent here. 

Even Causes Feuds 
It isn't difficult to tell just 
how much the job means to 
some of the Millsaps men. 
There have been some pret- 
ty heated feuds even among 
fraternity brothers about 
whose team is the best, which 
one will win the champion- 
ship, who has the best full- 
back, etc., etc. 

Johnny Nikolic's explana- 
tion of what the job means to 
him is pretty representative 
of how most of the boys feel. 
"The Gra-Y program gives 
you a chance to work with 
younger boys on something 
other than the brother- to- 
brother basis. For maybe the 
first time you have a chance 
to fulfill the roles of teacher, 
coach, and father all at once. 
It's a great opportunity for 
both the coaches and the boys 
to learn from each other." 



With spring here once 
again, Millsaps geologists are 
once more at work in the 
Vicksburg Hills. 

Geologists are making fre- 
quent Friday afternoon and 
Saturday trips to collect 
snails, "charcoal", and bones 
as their part of the current 
program of determining the 
age of the blankets of loess 
which cap the hills at Vicks- 
burg. Other visits are being 
made by Physics majors who 
are studying the magnetic 
fields created by the loess de- 
posits and the magnetic min- 
erals the loess contains. Phys- 
ics research is guided by Pro- 
fessor Charles B. Galloway. 
The program is under the 
overall direction of Dr. Rich- 
ard R. Priddy. 

More And More Loess 
Loess, pronounced "less", 
or properly "lerse", is a fine 
mealy deposit of glacial out- 
wash which was blown as 
dust out of the Mississippi 
Alluvial Plain at intervals 
during the Ice Age. 

When it was discovered that 
the loess appeared unusually 
well developed in Mississippi, 
a belt from Vicksburg to 
Jackson was chosen for study 
as an interdisciplinary pro- 
gram by the Millsaps Science 
Division. The project has been 
supported by the Na- 
tional Science Foundation to 
the extent of some $60,000. 

Six Years Of Study 

The investigation is now in 
its sixth year. Thus far the 
project has provided research 
assistantships for 49 students 
and has been guided by eight 
members of the faculty. The 
study furnished subjects for 
some 40 scientific papers, in- 
troduced students to new 
equipment, and stimulated 
the invention of other equip- 
ment when conventional ap- 
paratus proved inadequate. 
Seven Millsaps men and 
women in Graduate School 
have continued the research 
they started as Loess Assist- 
ants. 

Radiocarbon methods of 
dating have thus far shown 
that the ages of Mississippi 
loess are similar to the ages 
reported far to the North. Al- 
though the oldest blankets in 
the Vicksburg Hills are too 
old to date, the younger blank- 
ets are only 32,000 to 12,000 
years B P. (Before Present). 

Snails, Bones, Charcoal 

The current project of the 
geologists is collecting mate- 
rials which are liable to con- 
tain the vital Carbon 14. Thus 
the loess roadcuts are being 
searched for snails, bones, 
and "charcoal." 

The snails are remarkably 
like those species (pulmonate 
gastropods — air breathers) 
which inhabit gardens. Unfor- 
tunately digging and cleaning 
the required 60 grams of 
crushed snails for Carbon 14 
dating is tedious. 

The high point of one col- 
lecting trip was the finding of 
a family of fossil snails in a 
hole dug nearly 3 feet into 
the face of a roadcut at a 
level 35 feet above Highway 
61. Snails from this

WOODY THORNTON 

Senior Will Sing 
With N.Y. Choir. 
Continue Study 

Spending an action-packed 
week in New York, February 
25 - March 4, Woody Thorn- 
ton, senior from Memphis, 
landed a job most singers just 
dream about. 

After auditioning for a 
Metropolitan Opera coach and 
a New York City Opera con- 
ductor, he sang for Alec 
Wyton, president of the Amer- 
ican Guild of Organists. 

Wyton, who is also choir 
Master organist at The Ca- 
thedral Church of St. John 
the Divine, asked Woody to 
sing with their choir consist- 
ing of 46 boys and 26 men. 
This church is the largest ca- 
thedral church in the world. 

Continuing with his voice 
training also, in New York 
Woody will be studying with 
Anna Hamlin, one of the best 
teachers in the United States.

By JOHNNY NIKOLIC 

My name is Johnny Niko- 
lic. I live in Rankin County. 
My step-father is a bootleg- 
ger. So begins my story. 

This year I am a senior at 
Millsaps. In order to attain 
my present status as a senior 
much has been needed in the 
way of finances. Some has 
come from basketball schol- 
arships, some from assistant- 
ships, and some from loans, 
but the greatest part - well, 
that has come from "booze". 
Indirectly of course, that is, 
except for certain exceptions. 
(If you are an exception you 
know what I mean. If you 
aren't, then don't give up, I 
may make a dollar off of 
you yet!) (Just a note of hu- 
mor t h e r e, for I really have 
no pecuniary interest in the 
stuff.) 

Narrow Escapes 
Now, back to my story. 
What was it now? Oh yes, 
"bootlegging." Well, I was al- 
most born into the world of 
speeding automobiles (mostly 
big black ones), sirens, 
search warrants, helicopters 
flying over-head (looking for 
a moonshine still of course; 
revealing my step-father's 
versatility thru his "moon- 
shining" and "bootlegging"), 
tales of narrow escapes, po- 
licemen with hangovers, and 
sheriffs with padded pockets 
(ever noticed how well fed 
sheriffs seem to be?). Well, 
I guess the first work I ever 
did was burying gallons of 
moonshine in holes back in 
Hattiesburg while I was in 
grade school. Had to be care- 
ful though, for one never 
knew when a helicopter would 
come zooming up to look for 
a Guilty Looking Moonshine 
Hider (known as a GLMH 
back then). Well things 
stepped up a little faster then. 
From moonshining to boot- 
legging. From faster cars to 
faster cars. One car even out- 
ran the winner of the Day- 
tona "500". Another was an 
actual ambulance equipped 
with a siren to assist in 
getting away from the law. 
Others had airplane flood 
lights equipped, a switch to 
turn off the tag and tail lights, 
and on yes, guns and ammu- 
nitions for "hi-jackers", if one 
can conceive of a bootlegger 
being "hi-jacked". At this 
time I was in high school. 
Stepped Up Pace 
Next came college. Accom- 
panying my gradual increase 
in learning and education was 
my step - father's still in- 
creased pace of activity. Fas- 
ter cars, faster than ever be- 
fore. Payoffs, dodging sub- 
poenas, cars that talked. Yes, 
cars equipped with police ra- 
dios. At first these would only 
receive patrol car signals. 
Now they can transmit. Not to 
the police, but to each other 
as they travel in a fleet. The 
State Times, a now defunct 
Jackson Newspaper, once re- 
ported that such radios were 
impossible to obtain. Well, I 
was sitting in one of our cars 
listening to the police talk 
when I read the article. These 



radios prove quite helpful 
when you know where road- 
blocks are, where and at what 
distance patrol cars are, etc. 

All these things help make 
for a prosperous bootlegger. 
Dixie Roto Magazine of The 
Times - Picayune (similar to 
Parade Magazine in the Clar- 
ion-Ledger) had Mrs. Julie 
Smith to write an article on 
bootlegging in Mississippi a 
couple weeks back. She had 
Robert L. Livingston of the 
State Tax Commission to ac- 
company her as she visited 
the dealers throughout the 
various counties. This is what 
she had to say about my step- 
father: "Livingston drove be- 
hind another high fence, 
where he introduced me to a 
good - natured young man I 
will call Louis. "Louis is one 
of our newest retailers," Liv- 
ingston said. "He used to haul 
contraband before he went 
legitimate, and he was one of 
the sharpest, craftiest haulers 
in the business. I never could 
catch him. 

Experiences 
"Louis used to run contra- 
band out of New Orleans by 
using souped-up engines; he 
could get about 40 cases in 
an average-size car. He re- 
built the engines, putting in 
three or four carburetors." 

All these things add up to 
exciting and new experiences 
on the road, such as follows: 

1. Dad caught with a $50,000 
load. Was it all broken on 
TV or did the Jackson Coun- 
try Club get some of it? 4 

2. Man shot driving one of 
dad's cars. Police mistook 
him for Dad. 

3. Caught in woods loading 
into one car out of another. 
Escaped. 

4. Stopped on a bridge. 
Backs up and escapes. 

5. Breaks sheriff's arm by 
knocking him down in road. 
Escapes. 

6. Blocked at a four way 
intersection. Caught, but 
bangs into police car. 

7. Caught several times, but 
released with the whiskey. 

8. Hit a mule, turned over 
four times, drove up embank- 
ment and hit a drain and 
turned over three more times. 
Unhurt. Car and liquor total 
loss. 

9. These are innumerous to 
name, and what's more some 
of the happenings, especially 
on the part of the police (spe- 
cific ones) make it almost 
unbelievable that such goes 
on. 

High Payoffs 

Like to know more about 
payoffs would you? Well, 
would you believe $100, $250, 
$275 a month. Well, for the 
sake of self-preservation I 
had perhaps better not quote 
an actual figure, but the pre- 
ceding will give you an idea, 
even if the amount may be 
lower than the actual payoff. 

Please note that for the 
sake of not revealing all I 
know (not enough room to 
print in the P&W), and for 
trying to stay out of court, I 
best not get to involved in 



Bootlegger 
Control It 

this article. In regards to pay- 
offs, it might beheave you to 
run for sheriff sometimes. 
They are well rewarded. Take 
the above figures and multi- 
ply times the number of re- 
tailers in a county and multi- 
ply times twelve months a 
year and you have a nice 
salary. Also, ask a sheriff 
sometimes where he got his 
boat, or his second car, etc. 
Watch his face turn red. This 
doesn't apply to all sheriffs 
mind you, but it does to sever- 
al of those in your liquor 
counties, and not only sheriffs 
but, — well you know the of- 
ficials by title as well as I 
do. 

Legalize It 

Yes "booze" has been used 
to put me thru school. Was it 
hectic? Yes. Is it a bad life? 
Yes. Does it make for bad 
family relations at times? 
Yes. Does it have any good 
points? Yes. One, money to 
go to school on. 

Would I legalize it? Yes. It 
isn't really a question of le- 
gality or illegality, however; 
but rather a question of con- 
trol, that is, who should sell 
it, the state or the bootlegger. 
My guess is the former. I will 
argue with the most staunch 
prohibitionists or the hardest 
"hard-shell baptist preacher" 
(I'm also a baptist) that pro- 
hibition is the impossibility to 
accomplish. As long as, well 
I shouldn't say "as long as" 
because it is a truism that 



liquor is wanted and will be 
had, therefore, one should not 
concentrate on prohibition, 
but on the manner that sale 
of the stuff should be con- 
trolled. 

Everyone is aware of our 
present state of hypocrisy, 
which people, preachers par- 
ticularly, try to keep us in 
by keeping things as they are. 
As long as things are as they 
are, then we shall always 
have a legal tax on an ille- 
gal commodity sold in a nor- 
mal(?) society. 

Into State Hands 

What would my step-fa- 
ther do if the liquor bill 
were passed? Well, maybe 
open up a restaurant - night 
club combination for people 
21 or older; a place that 
would be conducive to socia- 
bleness, but strict on individ- 
ual self-control, open to cou- 
ples only, with a band fur- 
nished. (Such places do exist 
in other states today.) Or per- 
haps, he may just build a dis- 
tillery right here in Jackson 
and supply the state owned 
stores. A thought. Talk about 
a booming economy, more in- 
dustry, and definite inflation 
here. Wow!!! Also Dad was 
a professional painter, is a 
professional driver, and can 
do other things well. But what 
he could or would do is not 
the problem, but rather the 
problem is getting control of 
liquor sales into the hands of 
the state and out of the boot- 
legger.

'Saps Science Fair Features 
Cosmic Engine For Space 



Visiting Historian Talks 
About Archduke Rudolph 



Among the first place proj- 
ects at the annual district IV 
science fair, which Millsaps 
hosted last weekend, was a 
cosmic engine for inter- 
galactic space trips. The mas- 
termind of the operation, 
Lewis Perdue, Jr., 16, a Mur- 
rah High School junior, is at- 
tempting to develop an engine 
which can convert particles in 
space as a propellant for in- 
ter - planetary vehicles and 
for spaceships traveling be- 
tween galaxies. 

Lewis' project has attracted 
a great deal of attention and 
also aid. The Westinghouse 
Corp. has furnished him ex- 
pensive and hard to obtain 
material free of charge. 

If Lewis is successful In de- 
veloping the system, it will 
solve the problems of weight 
and space encountered in stor- 



ing fuel for extended space 
flights. 

The young scientist's exhib- 
it at the science fair here con- 
sisted of a simulated vacuum 
chamber for testing his 
theory. 

The problem which Lewis is 
attempting to solve has so far 
buffaloed even the world's 
greatest scientists, number of 
whom are working on parallel 
projects. 

Young Perdue said he has 
not yet been able to come up 
with a good name for his proj- 
ect. However, he seems to 
like the choice of his father. 
"Dad calls it 'Project May- 
be'," he said.

By HELEN PERRY 

Professor Frederick Engel- 
Janosi, past president of the 
International Historical Asso- 
ciation and current professor 
of history at the University of 
Austria, was in Jackson for a 
few days last week visiting 
his daughter, Mrs. Madeline 
McMullan, Millsaps history 
professor. 

Professor Engel-Janosi, who 
came to Jackson between 
stops on a lecture tour, made 
his second visit to Millsaps in 
two years. 

While on campus he spoke 
to history students and other 
interested students. He 
seemed to charm his listeners 
with his sense of humor, zest 
for life, and brilliant mind. 

Remarks On Accent 

When the Professor spoke 
on Thursday to a large num- 
ber of students in the Chris- 
tian Center auditorium, he 
began his lecture with a play- 
ful remark about his accent. 
"By the time my talk is end- 
ed,'* he said with a smile, 
"you will have become ac- 
customed to my accent and 
performed a great deed, as 
Plato said." 

Talking on his own period 
of history, he lectured on the 
death of Archduke Rudolf of 
Hapsburg, crown prince on 
Austria. The archduke had 
committed suicide in 1889 in 
Mayerling and had killed a 
tfirl he was in love with. 
Found Documents 

In careful detail, the pro- 
fessor discussed the investiga- 
tion of the crown prince's 
death. He mentioned the tele- 
gram Rudolf's father, the Em- 
peror Francis Joseph, had 
sent to the Pope. Although 
the Vatican Archives are open 
to historical research only up 
to 1846, he was given special 
permission to look for the in- 
formation on Rudolf s death. 
"I found several documents," 
he said, including a telegram 
in Italian from the Emperor 
to the Pope." He read a copy 
of the telegram in Italian and 
in English, adding humorous- 
ly that the telegram was not 
2000 words long as had been 
thought but only 54. 

The Professor told the stu- 
dents that last year while on 
a lecture tour in France, he 
found more information on 
Rudolf in archives in Paris. 
He ended his talk by declar- 
ing mischieviously : "I had 
promised to gossip only 40 
minutes but I have gossiped 
for 43. M

bers, ate in the cafeteria with 
students who wished to talk 
further with him. His pa- 
ternal pride obvious, he told 
of his lecturing in Rome when 
Mrs. McMullan was a young 
student, for "all Madeline 
liked about Rome was the 
cats." Other topics ranged 
from Freud, who he knew per- 
sonally, to contemporary 
musicians. 

He spoke on Friday to his- 
tory students on nineteenth 
century intellectual history. 

Students who had the op- 
portunity to hear this tanned, 
genial scholar hope he will 
find time in his busy schedule 
to return to Jackson and to 
Millsaps.

By 1)1 ANN E ANDERSON 

Should a senior at Millsaps 
be required to attend classes 
with cuts limited to three per 
class? For that matter, should 
a junior, sophomore, or even 
a freshman be told how many 
times he is allowed to cut a 
class? Yes, if his grades have 
not met the standards that 
would designate him as a stu- 
dent instead of merely a 
warm body reclinging in a 
desk. This affirmative reply 
comes from a variety of Mill- 
saps students when questioned 
about the policy of M three cuts 
per semester per three hour 
course." This seems to be 
most emphasized when fresh- 
men are concerned. It is the 
freshman year when major 
decisions begin to arise. "Is it 
all right to get pinned after 
three dates if I really do love 
him?" "Can I really steal the 
canon without getting 
caught?" And finally, "But 
Dean Laney, I just want to 
have fun in college. Is it really 
important to major in some- 
thing?" Yes, most students, 
even some freshmen them 
selves, believe that three cuts 
per semester is enough for a 
first year college student — at 
least during the first semes- 
ter. By the close of this all 
important semester, he has 
had the chance to prove his 
ability. 

Quality Point Index 
The conclusion concerning 
classroom cuts decided on by 
many Millsaps students is that 
ability and agility is getting 



and keeping a good quality 
point index should be the only 
factor in determining class 
cuts. In this way second se- 
mester freshmen could also 
reap some of the benefits? of- 
fered by unrecorded absences 
for certain students. The qual- 
ity point index would decrease 
as one was classified sopho- 
more, junior, and finally sen- 
ior. Perhaps a freshman with 
a 2.2 index after one semes- 
ter's work could be given un- 
limited cuts; a sophomore 
with a 2.00; a junior with a 
1.75, and a senior with a 1.50. 
Unlimited cuts might be too 
many. No one knows how far 
a Millsaps student might take 
this matter. Perhaps a ceiling 
should be put on cuts— 15 a 
semester? More? Less? Un- 
limited cuts for everyone re- 
gardless of grade point! (This 
is the cry of the third semes- 
ter freshman ! ) What would be 
the best solution remains a 
problem because there is as 
of now no overall campus con- 
sensus. However, most stu- 
dents do agree that a change 
is needed in the present class- 
cut standard. 

Three Cuts Adequate 
A few educators and many 
parents feel that our present 
policy of three class cuts per 
semester is, if anything, over 
adequate. They would like to 
see their children and-or pu- 
pils in every class every day 
soaking up the knowledge 
pouring from the throats of 
bona fide professors. Here in 
class they will surely be "get- 



Young Democrat Club 
Taking Spring Tours 



By D1ANNE ANDERSON 

An organizational meeting 
of the Young Democrats Club 
on the Millsaps campus was 
heid April 1. Mr. William 
Watkins, a member of the 
Millsaps faculty and a third 
vice-president of the Missis- 
sippi Executive Committee of 
Young Democrats, called the 
meeting as faculty sponsor of 
the school political organiza- 
tion. A constitution was pre- 
sented and accepted by the 
fifteen students present. Mr. 
Watkins presented the consti- 
tution at the executive com- 
mittee meeting April 3, and 
it was approved. Now the 
Millsaps chapter will official- 
ly become a part of the na- 
tional organization.

ting their money's worth." 
Yet will they? Several schools 
feel that individual study, re- 
search, and writing is much 
more important for a student 
than required lecture and lab 
periods. Some of these schools 
have even gone so far as to 
offer courses which meet sev- 
eral times a year to: (1) or- 
ganization and assignment of 
research projects, (2) show 
progress made in research by 
written work, (3) Compare re- 
sults and evaluate course. The 
student works on his own at 
his own rate of speed. Stu- 
dents under this type of pro- 
gram have shown its effec- 
tiveness by high GRE scores. 
Though this type program has 
not been instituted at Mill- 
saps, perhaps some of the ef- 
fects of its could be found in 
a bright student who cuts one- 
third of his classroom hours 
yet does exceedingly well on 
all tests. Either he knows the 
material already, or he is ac- 
tually putting in more indi- 
vidual study hours. 

Unlimited cuts might not 
bring more individual study 
for the average student. How- 
ever, for the student with 
good grades who knows what 
amount of work he must do 
to keep his grades good, 
chances are it would. This is 
certainly a matter that needs 
consideration at Millsaps.

Mississippi College walked away with top honors 
here last week in a triangular track meet which in- 
cluded Millsaps and Livingston State. The field events 
were held at Millsaps and the running events were 
held in the Mississippi Memorial Stadium. 

The Choctaws totaled 85 Hale of MC won the javelin 
points enroute to the win, with 153'3 M . 



while the Tigers totaled 49, 
and the Majors got 40. Mis- 
sissippi College took first 
place in nine events with Liv- 
ingston State winning four 
and Millsaps three. 

The Chocs and Tigers fin- 
ished at the top in three field 
events each. Millsaps got sec- 
ond in the high jump and 
third in the discus. In the run- 
ning events the Choctaws won 
six, Millsaps three, and Liv- 
ingston State one. 

Double Winners 

Jerry Smith of MC won the 
100-yard dash with a time of 
9.8 and the 220-yard dash in 
22.0. Jerry Huskey of Mill- 
saps ran a close second in 
both of these races. 

James Horn also collected 
double wins for the Choctaws. 
He took first in the long jump 
at 20 , 2V4" and the triple jump 
at 40'6 M . 

Livingston State's Richard 
Watson won the shot put with 
a toss of 41 f 8" and the discus 
with a llQ^". 

The high jump was won by 
Donnie Connor of Livingston 
at 6'0". Tommy Davis of 
Millsaps was second. Jerry 



Running Events 

Mississippi College won the 
mile, the 440, the 120 high 
hurdles, and the mile relay. 
Livingston won the 440-yard 
relay. 

Millsaps* first in the track 
events came from Troy Lee 
Jenkins in the 220 low hurdles 
in an outstanding time of 24.2. 
Bole Smith won the 880 with 
2:05 and Bruce Sumrall won 
the two mile run in 10:43. 

Despite the fact that MC 
scored almost as many points 
as the other two teams com- 
bined this was a very good 
track meet. The Majors didn't 
come out quite as well as had 
been expected. This is largely 
due to our lack of points in 
field events which has been 
our weak spot all year. With 
three weeks to work we be- 
lieve that Millsaps will do bet- 
ter April 23 in the Mississippi 
College Invitational Meet at 
Clinton. 



The Majors played an un- 
announced tennis match with 
William Carey last week and 
won 8-1. 




SLOW CURVE — Billy CrosweU lets go of one of the many blazing fast balls that he threw in 
last week s 23-12 loss to William Carey College. CrosweU took the loss for the Majors, while 
he and Hap Wheeler both knocked home runs. 

Majors Score 12, Lose By 11 




By DAVID DAVIDSON 

How often is it that a team 
scores 12 runs in a baseball 
game and still loses? Not 
very often, but Millsaps did 
just that and lost a 23-12 de- 
cision to Williamri Carey Col- 
lege's Crusaders Saturday on 
Millsaps' Alumni Field. 

It was just one of those 
days when everything seemed 
to go right for William Carey. 
In the first inning the Cru- 
saders batted ten players, 
tapped out five hits, hit into 
two errors, and scored five 
runs. 

BOUNCE BACK 

Millsaps came back in the 
second with two runs and 
things didn't look too bad at 
the moment. But then came 
the second, third, and fourth 
innings. 

In those next three innings, 
Carey scored 13 more runs, 
bringing their total to 18, 
socked 13 hits and forced a 
Millsaps pitching change. 

Millsaps retaliated in the 
third with another two runs, 



and came across with two 
in the sixth, but in the top 
of the seventh Carey scored 
two more. 

The biggest Millsaps rally 
came in the bottom of the 
seventh when the Majors 
scored five runs making the 
score 20-11. 

Carey added three tallies in 
the eighth, Millsaps came 
back with another in their 
half of that inning and the 
scoring was over. 

The Crusaders stroked 25 
hits in 45 trips to the plate. 
Dale Willis and Bobby Eades 
led the Carey hitters with a 
five - for - six performance, 
Hunter Edwards went four- 
for - four, Ned Eades went 
four-for-six, John Martin went 
four - for - seven, Spike 
Pierce went two - for - three, 
and Don Dixon went one-for- 
two. 

CAREY NOW 7-1 

Carey now holds a very re- 
spectable 7-1 record for the 
season. Pierce and Martin 
led the team in RBI with five 



apiece and the Crusaders ran 
wild on the base paths, steal- 
ing five bases during the 
game. 

Danny Neely came out of 
his slump and went three-for- 
five along with Jimmy Ken- 
ney. Billy CrosweU and Hap 
Wheeler both went two-for-five 
and both clouted home runs 
in the contest. Neely also led 
the RBI department with 
three. 

Three costly Millsaps er- 
rors early in the game made 
a tremendous difference in 
the complexion of the game 
as time went on. 

Grady Patrick took the win 
for the Crusaders, raising his 
record to 2-1. CrosweU took 
the loss for the Majors and 
he now holds a 1-1 record.

In the first game last week 
Johnny N i k o 1 i c pitched a

the Lambda Chi's 6-1. The 
game was very tight as no 
runs were scored before the 
fifth inning when Bill May- 
field singled to center scoring 
Wayne Ferrell for the KA's. 
The Lambda Chi's threatened 
in the fifth but Jimmy Gen-

the game to snuff the spark.

Millsaps Beats 
Delta State On 
Tennis Courts 

Millsaps College's netters 
picked up their first victory 
of the season here Friday 
with a smashing 9-0 victory 
over strong Delta State. 

In the first singles match 
of the day, senior Benny 
Stone whipped Delta State's 
Sharpe Atkinson, 6-3, 75, in a 
grueling match. 

Dan McKee, a Millsaps jun- 
ior, then thumped Harold 
Smith in an easy 6-0, 6-1 win. 

David A t w o o d, a sopho- 
more, had a tough time han- 
dling Delta's Buddy Hemp- 
hill but finally warmed up, 
winning the match 4-6, 6-0, 
6-1. 

Mike Casey, another Mill- 
saps soph, downed Ermis Wil- 
son, 6-1, 6-3, and soph Charles 
McCormick smashed Delta 
State's Bob Endman, 6-1, 6-1. 
In the final singles match, 
Hank Harrison, a freshman 
on the Majors' squad, handed 
Earl Mullen two quick losses, 
6-2, 6-2. 

Stone and McKee teamed to 
whip Delta State's Wilson 
Smith combination, 6-1, 7-5 in 
the initial doubles match. 

Atwood and Casey worked 
hard for their victory over 
the Atkinson-Hamphill combo, 
4-6, 6-4, 6-4.

Science Majors - 

(Continued from Page 3) 
and non-scientists is made by 
C. P. Snow in his The Two 
Cultures and a Second Look. 
He has just finished describ- 
ing the inadequacies of the 
scientists, especially in the 
field of literature, when he be- 
gins the following statement: 

But what about the other 
side? They are impoverished 
too— perhaps more seriously, 
because they are vainer 
about it. They still like to pre- 
tend that the traditional cul- 
ture is the whole of "culture," 
as though the natural order 
didn't exist. As though the ex- 
ploration of the natural order 
was of no interest either in 
its own value or its conse- 
quences. As though the sci- 
entific edifice of the physical 
world was not, in its intel- 
lectual depth, complexity and 
articulation, the most beauti- 
ful and wonderful collective 
work of the mind of man. Yet 
most non-scientists have no 
conception of that edifice at 
all. Even if they want to have 
it. they can't. It is rather as 
though, over an immense 
range of intellectual experi- 
ence, a whole group was tone- 
deaf. Except that this tone- 



deafness doesn't come by 
nature, but by training, or 
rather the absence of training. 

As with the tone-deaf, they 
don't know what they miss. 
They give a pitying chuckle 
at the news of scientists who 
have never read a major work 
of English literature. They 
dismiss them as ignorant spe- 
cialists. Yet their own ignor- 
ance and their own specializa- 
tion is just as startling. A 
good many times I have been 
present at gatherings of peo- 
ple who, by the standards of 
traditional culture, are 
thought highly educated and 
who have with considerable 
gusto been expressing their 
incredulity at the illiteracy of 
scientists. Once or twice I 
have been provoked and have 
asked the company how many 
of them could describe the 
Second Law of Thermodynam- 
ics. The response was cold: 
it was also negative. Yet I 
was asking something which 
is about the scientific equiva- 
lent of: Have you read a work 
of Shakespeare's? 

I now believe that if I had 
asked an even simpler ques- 
tion—such as, What do you 
mean by mass, or accelera- 
tion, which is the scientific 
equivalent of saying, Can you

read? — not more than one in 
ten of the highly educated 
would have felt that I was 
speaking the same language. 
So the great edifice of mod- 
ern physics goes up, and the 
majority of the cleverest peo- 
ple in the western world have 
about as much insight into it 
as their neolithic ancestors 
would have had. 

Conversing Ability Different 

Of course, the ability of 
the typical Millsaps science 
major to converse intelligent- 
ly in the humanities and so- 
cial sciences while the typ- 
ical non-science major floun- 
ders badly in a conversation 
about science, if indeed he 
can be induced to discuss sci- 
ence at all, is not all that 
gives a science major the feel- 
ing that he is superior. The 
fact that any science major 
with better than around a 1.3 
can go somewhere to grad- 
uate school on a salary (call 
it a teaching assistantship or 
whatever, it still amounts to 
being paid to do graduate 
study) while non - science 
majors with better grades 
have trouble getting accepted, 
the fact that the Woodrow Wil- 
son fellowship — an award 
earned only by the very best 
students in the humanities and 
social sciences— is worth from 
$1500.00 to $2500.00 less than 
the not-so-famous fellowships 
available to comparable stu- 
dents in the sciences, etc., 
tend to make a science major 
feel that his work is somehow 
more important than that of 
a non - science major. To 
quote C. P. Snow agam, "It

is not only that young sci- 
entists now feel that they are 
a part of a culture on the rise 
while the other is in retreat. 
It is also, to be brutal, that 
the young scientists know that 
with an indifferent degree 
they'll get a comfortable job 
whUe the contemporaries and 
counterparts in English or 
History will be lucky to earn 
60 per cent as much." 
More Science PhD's 

If all this is not enough, the 
record of particular de- 
partments at Millsaps can be 
cited. The science depart- 
ments, especially chemistry 
and biology, always seem to 
produce a number of high 
qual tv po nt indexes out of 
proportion to their percentage 
of the student population, and 
always produce more grad- 
uate students — especial- 
ly Ph.D.'S— from the number 
of undergraduates available. 
And if GRE scores are any 
indication of education in 
one's major field, the depart- 
ments as well as the students 
are superior. 

Mr. Goodbread has implied 
that we science majors feel 
we are superior to the rest of 
the campus. This is gross 



oversimplification of a num- 
ber of different attitudes, but 
it is basically true. The prob- 
lem for Mr. Goodbread and 
other non-science majors as 
well lies in the fact that all 
they can do is make fun of 
this attitude; they cannot pre- 
sent evidence which would 
make us abandon our atti- 
tude. Mr. Goodbread has also 
intimated that science majors 
feel contempt for those not 
majoring in science. This is 
not true. For the majority of 
non-science majors we feel 
only pity.

A summary of preliminary 
totals for 1965 shows fewer 
births, more marriages, and 
more deaths than in 1964. The 
excess of births over death 
last year added only about 
1.95 million to the population 
of the United States, or a 
rate ofnatural increase of 
10.0 per 1,000 population— the 
lowest recorded since 1945. 



Madrigals, C. Choir 
Taking Spring Tours 




Two Millsaps College choirs 
will be on tour during the 
spring holidays, one of them 
traveling as far as Monter- 
rey, Mexico. 

The Concert Choir, directed 
by Leland Byler left early this 
morning on an 11-day, 11-con- 
cert tour which will be cli 
maxed by a performance in 
Monterrey. 

The Madrigal Singers, a 20- 
voice choir directed by Rich- 
ard Alderson, will begin a 
five-day, five-concert tour 
taking them into Louisiana 
and Texas on April 11. 
Reversing Direction 
The Concert Choir is re- 
versing 'its tour direction this 
year by heading west. Last 
year the 50-voice a cappella 
choir went into Alabama and 
Georgia for its tour concerts, 
recording for the Protestant 
Radio Hour while in Atlanta.

The choir performs musical 
literature which is written for 
small groups and which lends 
itself to ensemble singing. 
Alderson compares his small

stating that the difference be- 
tween a small choir and a full 
choir is the same as the dif- 
ference between a string en- 
and a full orchestra.

Decell Speaker Says 
Excess Of Democracy 
Cause Of Civil war 



By HENRY CHATHAM 

With the arresting state- 
ment that the Civil War was 
precipitated by the work of a 
blundering generation of 
Americans arising out of an 
"excess of Democracy", Dr. 
David Donald concluded the 
seconcj. in a series of Decell 
Lec tures in the Christian Cen- 
ter auditorium last Thursday 
night. 

A Millsaps alumnus and 
well - known historian, Dr. 
Donald is professor of Ameri- 
can history at Johns Hopkins 
University and was the recipi- 
ent of the Pulitzer Prize in 
1961. His a d d r e s s, entitled 
"The Civil War and the Amer- 
ican Political Process", was 
presented under the auspices 
of the J. Lloyd Decell Lec- 
tureship. His chapel address 
earlier in the day was on "The 
Trials of a Biographer." 
Causes Of War 

.Making several analogies to 
the present political scene. 
Dr. Donald enumerated the 
causes of the war. The lead- 
ership of the times was paro- 
chial, rather than national. 
Leaders as such did not exist, 
but were mere representatives 
of the whims of the majority. 
The concept that "all men are 
created equal" was trans- 
lated into crude majoritarian- 
ism. There was a total re- 
jection of authority, of repub- 
licanism, of democracy. But 



society would tolerate no oth- 
er kind of leadership. 

In his closing remarks fol- 
lowed by the thunderous ap- 
plause of the audience, Dr. 
Donald emphasized that "a 
nation gets the kind of lead- 
ership it deserves; and so 
does a state. The blundering 
leaders are not to blame; it 
is the process that bears the 
guilt— an excess of democra- 
cy." 

The other speakers in the 
1986 Decell Lectureship, 
which ended this morning, 
were Owen Cooper, president 
of the Mississippi Economic 
Council, and Andrew N. Ly- 
tic, distinguished author and 
editor of The Sewanee Re- 
view. 

Lytle spoke Wednesday 
night at Galloway Methodist 
Church on the subject, "Com- 
mon Grounds of Southern Fic- 
tion." His topic in chapel 
Thursday morning was "How 
Many Miles To Babylon?"

It's Discrimination, Women! 



It's discrimination. That's what it is! 
The Millsaps women are being discrimi- 
nated against. The Millsaps women must 
wear dresses in the library and student 
union. The high school women can wear 
shorts in the library and student union. 
After all, what kind of dress can com- 
pete against a pair of shorts worn fifteen 
or twenty inches above a set of female 
knees? We are not suggesting that ev- 



eryone be allowed to don shorts and run 
over to the library and compete with 
each other, but we do feel that high 
school, Belhaven, MC, Tougaloo, or any 
other students who use our facilities 
should have to follow the same rules 
that we do. The Romans have a motto 
that would fit, but it's too trite to men-

CLEAN 



SPECIAL 



While the Millsaps spring sports program is in 
full swing our coaches have been busy recruiting stars 
for next year's football and basketball teams. Several 
new athletes have already been signed and accepted 
by the college while some are waiting for their appli- 
cations for admission to be processed. 
Basketball Stars 

Coach Montgomery has an- 
nounced the signing of two of 
the most sought-after junior 
college basketball prospects 
in the state. Jerry Hassleman, 
a 6-5 center, was an all-state 
selection at Northwest Junior 
College this year. The 210 lb. 
center averaged 23.4 points 
per game in leading his team 
to a 10-8 overall record. 

Jerry Robertson is a 6 - 2 
guard from Eupora where he 
was selected All - Choctaw 
Conference for two years. 
His last two years have been 
spent at Holmes Junior Col- 
lege where he was selected to 
the all-state team. Jerry 
averaged 18 points and 15 re- 
bounds this year. 

Coach Montgomery has 
said that he is presently look- 
ing for guards. He has con- 
tacted several high school 
guards and a few Junior Col- 
lege guards, but nothing has 
been dfinitely worked out. 

Coach Harper Davis has 
been very busy in his search 

Football 
for new material for next 
year's football team. He has 
already signed a number of 
men and is talking to more. 

Robert Evans of Grenada 
is the most recent player to 
be signed. He is a 6-1, 200 
pound tackle. Coach Davis 
plans to use him at the guard 
position. 

James Shaw, of Webb, is a 
6', 200 pound center. He is 
very active in sports at West 
Tallahatchie High School 
where he is a four year let- 
terman in football and a two 
year letterman in baseball. 

Doug Stovall, a 5-11, 175 
pound end, was selected for 
the 1965 All Little Dixie 
squad. He won three letters 
each in football, track, and 
baseball. He will study pre- 
law at Millsaps. 

The signing of these and 
our other athletes have been 
made possible by the iniation 
of the Diamond Anniversary 
Scholarship program which 
was begun last year. This 
program has already had a 
tremendous affect on our ath- 
letic program and has large- 
ly been responsible for its 
success. I think all Millsaps 
students will agree with me 
when I say that this program 
is the best thing that has 
ever happened to sports at 
Millsaps College. 



"J Feel Sorry 
For Us, Too" 

Dear Editor: 

The distincUon between hu- 
manities and sciences in a 
college curriculum is rightly 
made— in semantics as well 
as in curriculum. The main 
complaint that any well-edu- 
cated person in the humani- 
ties would make is that sci- 
ence has a dehumanizing ef- 
fect on the whole of culture. 

It isn't that science majors 
haven't been exposed to the 



humanities, nor that they 
don't do well in humanities 
courses — the fact remains 
that their whole approach to 
the business of living is dif- 
ferent. This point is well tak- 
en, I believe, when one con- 
siders the emphasis placed on 
'value of grants" and "po-

implications — who will be

the feeble-minded products of 
an education in the humani-

what is probably more pure 
brainwork than we in the hu-

them first remember that the 
rest of us exist, that we prob-

of human beings far better 
than they do, and that one day 
they may have to face the 
fact that somewhere along the 
line they f o r g o t the signifi-

I quote from Pierre Teil-

"The time has come to real-

things; mind as well as mat-

William Winter Highlights 
Spring MCPA Convention 



Highlighting the spring con- 
vention of the Mississippi Col- 
legiate Press Association at 
Belhaven College Saturday 
was a practice press confer- 
ence with William Winter, 
state treasurer and prospec- 
tive gubernatorial candidate. 
Winter discussed questions 
presented him by MCPA 
members concerning various 
pertinent issues in Mississippi 
— teachers' salaries, the 
liquor question, the race issue, 
poll tax, and his prospects for 
governor in 1967. 

Winter said that approx- 
imately 4Vz million dollars is 
collected yearly in revenue 
from about 1700 federally li- 
censed retail and wholesale 
liquor dealers. He added that 
legalization would add little 
more than a million dollars in 
revenue, according to a 
recent estimate by the Tax 
Commission. "Don't think 
we are going to get a great 
revenue increase by legaliz- 
ing liquor," he said. 

Tired Of Emotionalism 

In answer to questions de- 
manding speculation on Mis- 
sissippians' current attitude 
on the race issue, Winter said 
he thinks people are tired of 
having their emotions on this 
problem played upon. "To 
jump up and down and 
scream 'never!' does not con- 
tribute constructively to the 
solution of the problems," he 
said. Observing that a man 
with nothing to lose is not go- 
ing to be as responsible as 
the one with a decent way of 



life, Winter said the solution 
lies in the productivity of the 
people, increasing the state's 
economic base, raising the 
educational level, and attract- 
ing more people to Mississip- 
pi. "I think it is the duty of 
a politician to try to lead the 
people to a more constructive 
approach to all situations, 
rather than be led by them," 
he added. 

Asked if he thought the 
average Mississippian was 
ready for his type of leader- 
ship. Winter replied, "If 1 
didn't I wouldn't be running 
for governor next year." 
MCPA, MIC Officers 

New MCPA officers were 
also elected at the conven- 
tion. They are: Charles 'Pea- 
nut' Overby, Ole Miss, presi- 
dent; Marie Smith, Millsaps, 
vice president; Tommy Tate, 
MSU, news editor. 

MCPA met in conjunction 
with the Mississippi Intercol- 
legiate Council. New MIC offi- 
cers elected Saturday are Jim 
Sones of Mississippi College, 
president; Billy Gottshall of 
pie Miss, first vice presi- 
dent; Mike Matthews of 
Perkinston Junior College, 
second vice president ; Susan 
Gordon of Delta State College, 
third vice president; Mary 
Frances Mabry of MSCW, 
treasurer; Niles McNeel of 
MSU, Ron McKinney of Bel- 
haven, and Jerry Duck of

Orientation Counselors 

This steering committee and 
the two co-chairmen are in 
the process of choosing ori- 
entation counselors. 

After these have been an- 
nounced, the entire group will 
have a picnic to get ac- 
quainted with their fellow 
workers. 

Some ideas still in discus- 



sion for next year's orienta- 
tion are the instilling of school 
spirit in the freshmen, im- 
pressing upon them the im- 
portance of academic life, and 
the counselors' remembering 
that first impressions on 
freshmen are very significant. 
Although the Orientation Com- 
cittee is still in the process 
of studying former programs, 
it is already aware of several 
significant changes which will 
be instituted. The advisory 
system, for instance, will be 
revamped. Also, collebe boards 
will be administered to all en- 
tering freshmen. 



Students Rate High 
In Speech Contest 



By BEVERLY BROOKS 

Millsaps students Mary Ann 
McDonald, Jim Carroll and 
Robbie Lloyd, accompanied 
by Mr. Orvel Hooker, walked 
off with honors at the South- 
ern Speech Association's an- 
nual contest held in Miami, 
Fla., the week of April 3. 

Mary Ann McDonald won 
the tournament in the field of 
extemporaneous speaking for 
women and received a certif- 
icate of superior. Mary Ann. 
a Jackson freshman, was giv- 
en one hour to prepare a talk 
on three topics. Her topics 
were congressional reappor- 
tionment, the possibilities of 
four year terms for members 
of the House of Representa- 
tives and the American atti- 
tude on the war in Viet Nam. 
Mary Ann also received a 
certificate of good on commit- 
tee work. 

Carroll Party Leader 

In the Congress of Human 
Relations, Jim Carroll was 
elected the Democratic party 
leader. The Congress was 
composed of a senate of col- 



lege representatives and a 
house of high school rep 
resentatives. Jim received a 
certificate of superior for po- 
litical achievement, excellent 
for committee participation 
and floor debate and a good 
in extemporaneous speaking 

A resolution submitted by 
Robbie Lloyd was passed by 
the Congress of Human Rela- 
tions. 

4-2, Or Excellent 

In the field of debate. Mill- 
saps won four, lost two and 
received a rating of excellent. 
In a debate with Auburn Uni- 
versity, Millsaps got a per- 
fect thirty points out of a pos- 
sible thirty. This brought the 
total number of certificates 
won by Millsaps to seven. 

Twelve states participated 
in the tournament. Some oth- 
er colleges represented were 
Mississippi State University. 
Louisiana State University. 
Auburn, Stetsen, University of 
Arkansas, University of North 
Carolina and Wake Forest 
College.

Backing Wm. Winter — Gov., '67 



Realizing that a year in advance is a 
little early to start making endorse- 
ments of gubernatorial candidates, the 
Purple and White nevertheless feels 
compelled to pledge its full and un- 
equival support to William Winter for 
governor of Mississippi in 1967. 

It is delightfully refreshing to meet 
and hear a Mississippi politician who 
has something going for him besides his 
ability to scream 'Nevah!' a hundred 
times in five minutes or a vertical 
elongation which enables him to walk 
around in racial clouds. 

It's about time the State again had 
someone who is willing to face issues 
squarely and with a constructive atti- 
tude. We hope that Ross Barnett, Paul 
Johnson, and Carroll Gartin (to a lesser 
degree) have squeezed all the political 
juice they can from the race issue and 
we can start concentrating on the wel- 
fare and future of Mississippi as a part 
of the United States of America. 

One wonders, of course, what the ex- 
governor's platform will be otherwise, 



should he discard the termite-ridden one 
that has supported him in the past. May- 
be something like "fewer cows and more 
milk" or "gold commode handles for 
all public buildings in the great and sov- 
ereign state of Mississippi" would be 
appropriate. 

Carroll Gartin will probably continue 
to preach his nebulous gospel of prog- 
ress and change to his guaranteed all- 
white audiences. 

In the meantime William Winter, who 
is definitely no "liberal," but who is ap- 
parently very sincere in his espousal of 
the need for positive and constructive 
action, rather than demagogic exploita- 
tion of Mississippians' emotions, will 
hopefully continue to interpret the state's 
predicaments through clear rather than 
"tainted" glasses. 

Of course, we are not naive enough to 
believe that one enlightened politician is 
going to be the panacea for Mississippi's 
aches, but we do feel that the election 
of William Winter to the governorship 
would be a big step in the right direc- 
tion.— M. S. 



LETTERS TO 
THE EDITOR 



"A democracy is a society in which 
honorable men may honorably disagree" 



— 



(Adlai Stevenson) 



On Scientists' 
'Verbal Diarrhea 

Dear Editor: 

I imagine that I am one of 
the few people who wasted 
time enough to wade through 
the verbal diarrhea of the fu- 
ture scientists of Millsaps. 
Yet, having done so qualifies 
me to report to the more 
squeamish that its length 
was tedious, its style pom- 
pous, its few ideas banal, and 
its perspective puerile. In- 
deed, it is easy to believe 
that ten people actually wrote 
the thing — and all at the same 
time. 

Among the signatures I 
happened to find the name of 
Mr. Danny Harvey — a fine 
example of the Millsaps sci- 
entist — one who is pushing 
forth to become a doctor 
of medicine. I can only hope 
that four years of medical 
school at least teaches Mr. 
Harvey to distinguish a wet 
noodle from a female worm, 
for he had difficulty doing 
just that in a zoology practi- 
cal this past year. 

Sincerely yours, 

Gary Carson 



... but Ole Miss is great! 
I hope that 111 get to come 
visit sometime soon! 
Love, 

Emily Compton 



How Far To 
Bigotry? 

We are fortunate to live in 
a liberal democracy. One is 
given the opportunity occa- 
sionally to realize just how 
fortunate we are. 

His Most Bumbling Mum- 
bling Ludicrousness, B'rer 
Andy Lytle did indeed paint a 
vivid picture Thursday morn- 
ing. (Are you sure the Decell 
Lectures were intended to 
honor President Graves?) He 
painted in shades of exagger- 
ation, farce, and bigotry. He 
framed his delusion in genu- 
ine synthetic, special offer, 
guaranteed - unbreaka- 
ble "truth". 

In his benedictory remarks 
our benedictine Dean Laney 
termed the address "thought- 
provoking". More than a tri- 
fle bromidic, his pronuncia- 
tion bore more truth than the 
address. 

The information on which 
our honored guest supportive- 
ly based his opinions moves 
me to comment. While he is 
entitled to his opinions, I be- 
grudge him the liberty he 
took with his supportive ma- 
terial. He was greatly con- 
fused, sadly mis-informed, or 
deliberately prevaricating. 
Generous Inaccuracies 
Among the first of his gen- 
erous supply of inaccuracies 
were his remarks to the ef- 
fect that the Word of God was 
"unconstitutional", and that 
the profane word had a bet- 
couldn't be right! ter chance of being promul- 

Seriously, I doMike the pa- gated than the Word of God.

Left Out!!!! 

Dear Editor, 

I enjoyed reading the March 
31st edition of the P&W, but 
I was so disappointed not to 
find my name on the list of 
students listed in the 2.20-2.49 
grade point category ! I mean 
I haven't made a 2.20 until 
last semester and then my 
name gets left out! Maybe 
the writer of the article was 
just too shocked on seeing my 
name and decided that it 



lent job ! Of course my favor- 
ite is still Ronnie's column — 
I may have to write him a 
letter and tell him! 
I miss you all very much 



tion, as interpreted by the Su- 
preme Court, holds the Word 
of God so sacred, and the in- 
dividual's relationship to his 
God so personal and private 



that it refuses to tolerate any 
abridgement of this basic 
freedom. Thus it refuses to 
allow any promulgation of 
any particular religious view- 
point, or interpretation of re- 
ligion by the state through its 
agents, the schools. (2) The 
U. S. Supreme Court has re- 
cently upheld a conviction, 
($28,000 fine and five years in 
prison,) on charges of obscen- 
ity, of Publisher Ralph Ginz- 
berg. There have been no such 
cases for publishing religious 
works. The issue of religion 
a la the New York State 
Board of Regents bears no re- 
lationship to private promul- 
gation of obscenity or reli- 
gion. 

His remarks on the Recon- 
struction Era in the South 
were gross exaggerations. 
While he did go so far, by in- 
ference, as to admit the South 
lost the war, his assertion 
that devastation was so com- 
plete as to render a whole 
country without a single nee- 
dle hardly needs commen- 
tary. One can just picture 
General Sherman arriving on 
the doorstep of the Beaure- 
gard Lee Lytle home with a 
detachment of magnet - bear- 
ing soldiers. 

"Good evenin', Ma'am. Are 
there any needles in the house 
or on the grounds? Good, 
then you won't mind my nee- 
dle-pickin' soldiers covering 
every square inch of this 
property with their trusty 
magnets. STAND ASIDE!" 
South Woulda Won 

The South would have won 
the war before they ever 
-cleared that block. 

As to his remarks concern- 
ing that insidious myth of 
Equality, he failed, as so 
many bigots do, to define 
equality as equality before 
the law. This is the maxi- 
mum meaning that can be at- 
tached to the American expe- 
rience from 1776 right up to 
ten o'clock Thursday mom-

MATTERS 




"That lousy Student Senate 
never does anything. Why 
don't, they get some people 
with some life in 'em?" 

v"The faculty and adminis- 
tration are nothing but dicta- 
tors and bureaucrats. Why do 
we have to listen to their 
bunk?" 

"The Purple and White edi- 
tors reeks with triviality. Wish 
she'd go to Perkinston where 
her 'abilities' would be ap- 
preciated." 

Sound familiar? 

Maybe people don't think or 
maybe they just have to have 
something to converse about. 

But I would like to remind 
certain people that there is 
only a certain amount which 
amy one person or group can 
do without support. I would 
also like to remind them that 
there are no rules to prevent 
any person from attaining a 
position of leadership and do- 
ing something constructive 
about his complaints. 

Sick of "Apathy" 

Everyone is sick and tired 
of hearing the term "apathy." 
But a rotten situation by any 
other name is still a rotten 
situation. Or maybe "apathy" 
isn't intense enough to de- 
scribe our dilemma here at 
Millsaps. 

It isn't enough now for those 
who are too lazy to act simply 
to refuse to act; now they 
must deride, criticize, and at- 
tack projects which others un- 
dertake. 

Some time back the editor 
was accused of "triviality" in 
using the M-Club fiasco as an 
example of "the type of situa- 
tion which could smother Mill- 
saps." Granted, lack of sup- 
port for an M-Club dance was 
a rather weak example, but 
the underlying problem is cru- 
cial. Whether it's an M-Club 
dance, a basketball game, a 
Players' production, or Stu- 
dent Senate elections, the at- 
titude which is far too preva- 
lent is at best "I-don't-give- 
a-hoot" and at worst mockery 
and condemnation. 

Millsaps needs leaders, not 
judges. Anyone can see faults; 
anyone can throw monkey 



wrenches; anyone can be the 
lead on the foundation of this 
institution which keeps it 
from soaring to heights which 
it could attain. 

It Takes Men 

But it takes a man to sub- 
ject himself to the piercing 
scrutiny of fellow students as 
president of SEB. It takes 
dedication to work behind the 
scenes, risking grades while 
coordinating such unglorious 
enterprises as campus elec- 
tions—that's only part of the 
v.p.'s job. 

And now, risking the prob- 
ability of being charged with 
a chronic and incurable case 
of "triviality", I would like 
also to call to your attention 
the fact that at the time this 
column is being written, ev- 
ery single SEB candidate is 
unopposed. 

Where? 

Where are all those people 
with all the fabulous ideas and 
aspirations? Where are they 
when the chance for construc- 
tive action presents itself? 
OK, so maybe a considerable 
number are legitimately oc- 
cupied with watching the sun- 
set from the CC or playing in 
Luther, but where are those 
who are so free with the un- 
signed letters and notes of 
condemnation? 

I think it's tragic that our 
"concern" is so shallow. I 
think it's tragic that Millsaps 
is being smothered in a veil of 
complacency, which is a eu- 
phenism for "apathy". 

But of course that's just the 
inane opinion of a trivial edi- 
tor who believes that in addi- 
tion to an intelligentsia to en- 
lighten and to advance causes, 
the world also needs people 
who can cook trivial hamburg- 
ers.

9 Announce Candidacy For SEB Offices 




JERRY DUCK 
For SEB President 

JJellow Students, 

The Student Government 
Association at Millsaps has 
had a very good year. It is 
not necessary to list its ac- 
complishments or shortcom- 
ings this past year for that is 
history— we must look to the 
future. 

In order for our Student As- 
sociation to be completely ef- 
fective, it must seek out the 
problems which exist on this 
campus and then offer posi- 
tive, dynamic leadership to 
eliminate such problems. 
Changes in our present sys- 
tem must be made and cer-

POLLY DEMENT 

For SEB Treasurer 

This coming year we stu- 
dents are going to have a dual 
role of fiscal responsibility. 
Through the understanding- 
and cooperation of campus or- 
ganizations this year, the SEB 
has been able to clear its books 
of a previously incurred defi- 
cit. With a financially more 
stable student government, 

, therefore, we shall be able to 
put more drawing board plans 
into action. 

Secondly, we as students of 
Millsaps College should be 

, crucially involved — 100 per 
cent involved— in the biggest 
financial drive in the history 
of this college. 

Efficient coordination and 
fulfillment of these responsi- 
bilities, as Treasurer of your 
student government, would be 
my aim. As a member of the' 
Student Executive Boards, the 
perpetuation of a strong, ac- 
tive student government, in 
the best interest of all stu- 
dents, would be my further 
aim. 

With these more general 
aims before me, I announce 
my candidacy for Treasurer 
of your Student Executive , 
Board.

these media successful in re-

RICKY FORTENBERRY 

For SEB Vice President 

The office of vice president 
of the Millsaps Student Asso- 
ciation is a position which en- 
tails activities in several 
fields of campus life. The Vice 
President, as his primary du- 
ty, is chairman of the 
elections committee of the 
Student Senate, being respon- 
sible for conducting all cam- 
pus elections throughout the 
school year. This I feel I can 
do with honesty and effecien- 
cy. 

As an officer of the student 
body, the Vice President will 
be called upon to represent 
Millsaps in student govern- 
ment association meetings in 
the state and Southern area, 
exchanging ideas and pro- 
grams with which to improve 
and initiate conditions on Mill- 
saps campus for the better- 
ment of student and faculty. 

As an elected official of the 
student body, the Vice Presi- 
dent is expected to support 
Millsaps in all endeavors — 
athletic events, scholastic 
competition, and student ac- 
tivities. I pledge all positive 
efforts to uphold and improve 
Millsaps College in each of 
these areas, and to improve in 
any manner possible the stu- 
dent government of this in- 
stitution and the duties of my 
particular office. .

Letters To The Editor 

(Continued from page 2) 
ing, April 21, 1966. 

He urged keeping public 
matters public and private 
matters private. He did not 
bother to define these inter- 
related terms. He urged the 
politically inclined to run for 
office, the alternative appar- 
ently being silence. Thus I 
suppose that he would regard 
supporting one's political con- 
victions by writing letters to 
the editor, by working for a 
candidate or party, possibly 
even by voting, as obstreper- 
ous, disgusting exhibitionism. 
These factors also happen to 
be American democracy. De- 
mocracy is a system of be- 
liefs, of government, a way 
of life for which he had little 
regard. 

Mind Own Business 

He also urged those inter- 
ested in social reform to 
"mind their own business". 
It is clear that this man wants 
to see a lot accomplished 
along these lines, but then 
why wasn't he minding his 
own business? Those who are 
concerned with society and 
its experience in an unprece- 
dented environment would be 
singularly handicapped, if not 
totally eliminated, if they 
minded their own personal 
business in the strict sense. 
On the other hand, since we 
see fewer and fewer children 
starving in the streets, since 
our wives and mothers do not 
work eighteen - hour days in 
ill - ventilated, over - heated 
firetraps, since recognition is 
being extended to all humans 
in terms of their worth to so- 
ciety as well as their intrinsic 
worth as individuals, since 
the expression "government 
by the people" is becoming 
increasingly true, since 
man's inhumanity to man is 
being limited, I for one am 
intensely grateful that some 
people simply make, and 
have made, society's business 



their business and public busi- 
ness. 

While he was hard-put for 
illustrations of his wrong- 
headed religiousity, the 
learned gentleman squirming 
behind him, on stage right, 
obviously would encourage a 
little more precision, and sug- 
gest modifications in his sim- 
plistic, ego-centric theology. 
'Christian' Bigots 

If we all emerge from Mill- 
saps College, (to which he 
apparently referred, again 
inaccurately, as a Christian 
university,) as prententious, 
bigoted "Christian" men, who 
either run for office or remain 
silent, who manifest no inter- 
est in our social environment, 
who see the whole ball of wax 
as lying in a never - never 
land, a superstitious fantasy- 
land in some posthumous fu- 
ture, then Millsaps deserves 
pity. Dear old public Rela- 
tions, the estimable Business 
Manager, and our bouncing 
President would be best ad- 
vised to prepare to close up 
shop as soon as the current 
alumni expire. If none of our 
graduates decide that success 
in this world is important, 
(there's still room for John 
Calvin,) then from where, oh 
where, will the donations 
come? If the school writes 
off Princeton University, (and 
supposedly Lytle would in- 
clude the whole Northeastern 
intellectual c a p i t o 1 area,) 
then of what value will a de- 
gree from Millsaps be? We 
could change the name to 
Mill-spa and try to be a j.v. 
Ole Miss. 

Ail-Out Betrayal 

If Millsaps' graduates fail 
to be public people, fail to 
participate in politics, and in- 
sist on keeping to some (non- 
existent) strictly person- 
al business they will have be- 
trayed their heritage, their 
country, their school, and 
themselves.

No 'Slighting 
Necessary 

Dear Editor: 

The letter in the Easter edi- 
tion of the P&W which main- 
tained that science majors are 
justified in feeling superior to 
non-science majors asked for 
any evidence which might 
make them change their 
minds. I wish to present one 
idea, and I wish to apply it to 
three points in their argu- 
ments. 

My "idea in evidence" is 
that the social sciences and 
humanities embrace the sci- 
ences. They use the sciences 
as a tool in studying the whole 
human condition. The sci- 
ences are neutral; they use 
empirical data as nearly ob- 
jectified as possible. The so- 
cial sciences and humanities 
are anything but neutral; they 
are actively engaged in us- 
ing every available means to 
understand and to solve hu- 
man problems. The social sci- 
ences and humanities general- 
ly work with broad fields 
of human activity where 
many different forces and 
types of forces interact con- 
tinuously. Because they work 
directly with human situa- 
tions, they never have the 
luxury of limiting the num- 
ber of variables to one. 
Hundreds To One 

This idea (that humanities 
and social sciences work in 
broad, interacting areas while 
the sciences generally limit 
their fields of study) is one 
reason why more non-science 
majors do not take more sci- 
ence electives. In order to ar- 
rive at the same level of com- 
petence as the science major, 
the non-science major has to 
take his electives in fields 
such as history, literature, 
philosophy, psychology, art, 
anthropology, sociology, lin- 
guistics, and religion. Be- 
cause whatever field of hu- 
man activity he studies has 
been influenced by so many 
other fields, he simply hasn't 
the time available to take sci- 
ence courses that do not serve 
to broaden his background 
significantly. 

Conversational Abilities 

Mr. Lamb's comments on 
the relative conversational 
abilities of the two groups al- 
so needed to be examined. 
Since Mr. Lamb uses the 
Ph.D. as the level of the ideal, 
he might have mentioned rel- 




Everybody Goes to 

SHONEY'S 

America's Favorite 
Restaurant 
and Drive-In 
Complete Take Out 

Service

ative conversational abilities, 
of members of that title. (My 
experience with science 
Ph.D.'s,— my father and his 
associates have theirs — has 
shown me that most doctors 
can talk about medicine and 
most mathematicians can talk 
about mathematics and per- 
haps a little bit of physics, 
but neither can talk at all 
about surrealism or cubism 
or existentialism.) Eut Mr. 
Lamb does not even bother 
to explore the conversational 
habits of Ph.D.'s. He merely 
says that science majors are 
superior conversationalists. 
If he would stop and consid- 
er the matter, he would real- 
ize that the typical Millsaps 
student rarely converses in- 
telligently on anything outside 
his major, sports, cars, or so- 
cial life. 

Not Equivalent 

Mr. Lamb also is kind 
enough to use a quotation 
from C. P. Snow that scores 
non - science personnel. Cer- 
tainly Mr. Lamb does not ex- 
pect us to believe (as Mr. 
Snow does) that the Second 
Law of Thermodynamics is 
equivalent to a play by 
Shakespeare! To read and un- 
derstand the Second Law is a 
simple exercise in logic; to 
read and understand a play 
by Shakespeare, especially to 
understand all his subtle uses 
of rhythm and images is an 
effort requiring countless 
hours of preparation. (I think 
Mr. Lamb would realize this, 
as would any of the other nine 
partners to the letter, if they 
had condescended to view the 
Shakespeare film that was 
shown free in the cafeteria on 
April 15). 

Cuts Unfounded 

Mr. Lamb's cuts at the 
Woodrow Wilson Fellowship 
are also unfounded. If he 
would investigate, he would 
find that the program is not 
limited to students in the so- 
cial sciences and the humani- 
ties; the qualification factor 
is a planned career in teach- 
ing. Although the Woodrow 
Wilson has less money in- 
volved than, say, an NSF fel- 
lowship, it carries more pres- 
tige with it. The fact that 
"contemporaries and counter- 
parts in English or History 
will be lucky to earn 60% as 
much" as the indifferent de- 
gree-holder in science is more 
of a reflection on the Ameri- 
can society and its set of val- 
ues than it is on any inherent 
quality of E n g 1 i s h or His- 
tory. 

No Superiority 

In what I have said I did 
not mean to imply that non- 
science majors should or do 
feel superior to science ma- 
jors. After all, the two groups 
aren't supposed to be in com- 
petition. The person who can

Students Urged To Think And 
Vote On Proposed Honor System 



By POLLY DEMENT 

"It's* the Dawn of Correc- 
tion," wail the Spokesmen, 
one of the Spokesmen, one of 
the USA's politically-oriented 
vocal groups. It's an age of 
humanitarianism, of brother- 
hood, of lots-of-big-words from 
the Great Society. . .an age 
when "you remember to say 
grace at the table and hate 
your next-door-neighbor," as 
the Spokesmen might say, or 
when you remember all those 
big new words and dump the 
little ones down the drain. . . 
like Honor. 

But hold! As surely as the 
chivalric tradition has been 
perpetuated in the Southland, 
so Honor stands — no, it 
writhes— under the scrutiniza- 
tion of Millsaps minds. 

HONOR. . . 

Can this abstraction. . this 
developmental character trait 
. . .be systemized? 

Some say yes. . .some say 
impossible. . .this is the ques- 
tion which students must an- 
swer after careful evaluation 
and introspection. 

Extensive Research 

The Committee on Honor 
Systems, appointed by Sen- 
ate President Larry Adams, 
has conducted an exten- 
sive research into the nature 
and practicability of honor 
systems in liberal arts col- 
leges. Freddy Davis chairs 
this committee, the members 
of which are Beverly Brooks, 
Polly Dement, Susan Finch, 
Ronald Goodbread, Mary Ann 
McDonald, Mel Maxwell, Bill 
Mayfield, and John Williams. 

Having come up with the 
honor code which it felt must 
be adaptable to the Millsaps 
community, the Committee 
presented the proposed sys- 
tem on Tuesday night, April 
26, to the Senate. 

After debate in the Senate, 
and possible metamorphosis 
therein, the honor system was 
discussed this morning in 
chapel. The "yes" or "no" de- 



cision about the institution of 
the honor system now lies at 
the mercy of a student refer- 
endum. 

"Honor," comments one stu- 
dent, "is either instilled with- 
in you by the time you are 
six years old or it is not." 
May Become Misguided 

Disagreeing, another stu- 
dent ventures the idea that al- 
though honor may have been 
burned into a person's char- 
acter while very young, hon- 
or may become latent or 
slightly misguided under cer- 
tain environmental i 



Some students feel that an 
honor system would be too re- 
stricting. Others, as Dr. An- 
drew Lytle pointed out in his 
Decell Lecture at Galloway, 
see a greater freedom real- 
ized through certain limita- 
tions. 

What are your convictions? 
Do take time to think, to in- 
trospect, to evaluate, and to 
VOTE. Your decision about 
an Honor System may influ- 
ence the history of Millsaps 
College over a longer period 
of time than the College has 
existed. 



Volunteers Requested For 
National Teacher Corps 



The U. S. Office of Educa- 
tion has issued a cattl for Na- 
tional Teacher Corps volun- 
teers and asked for applica- 
tions by May 31. 

"Our objective," said Com- 
mission of Education Harold 
Howe II, "is to reach and 
teach the children of poverty. 
For that task, we need expe- 
rienced teachers and college 
graduates — including June 
graduates." 

Summer Training 

"Starting by mid - June, 
some 3,000 recruits selected 
from the applicants will 
spend eight to 12 weeks of 
summer training at colleges 
and universities. By Septem- 
ber, Teacher Corps teams

Grants. 

A full award will provide a 
grantee with tuition, main- 
tenance, round-trip transpor- 
tation, health and accident in- 
surance an incidental allow- 
ance. 

A limited number of travel 
grants is available to supple- 
ment maintenance and tuition 
scholarships granted to Amer- 
ican students by universities, 
private donors and foreign 
governments. 

Teaching Assistantships 

There will also be oppor-

Congratulations are certain- 
ly in order for our baseball 
team for beating 3elhaven. 
It's hard to play baseball on 
a wet cow pasture, but when 
it comes to beating Belhaven 
you might as well beat them 
on their own playground. 

Be sure to see the game 
tomorrow with Huntingdon

in Memphis Saturday, the 
Majors will be playing a dou- 
ble header with Southwestern.

Majors Beat Belhaven 7-6 



April 28, IMS 



PURPLE & WHITE 



By JIMMY GENTRY 

Key hits by Edwin Massey 
and Tommy McDaniel pow- 
ered the Millsaps Majors to a 
7 to 6 win over the Belhaven 
Clansmen in a game played 
on the Belhaven diamond 
somewhat resembling a cow 
pasture. 

Massey and McDaniel de- 
livered their clutch hits in the 
top of the eighth inning as Mill 
saps scored four runs to 
break a 3 to 3 tie. 

400 Foot Triple 1 

Bill Croswell led off the inn- 
ing by reaching base when he 
was hit with the pitch, Hap 
Wheeler walked and Croswell 
was forced as Doug Greene 
attempted to sacrifice him 
over. Massey then unloaded a 
towering 400 foot triple to 
score Wheeler and Greene. 

Jimmy Kenney singled in 
Massey and Russel Atchley 
was hit with a pitch. McDan- 
iel then lined a single to cen- 
ter to score Kenney with, the 
Majors fourth run of the inn- 
ing. 

Belhaven had started the 
game by scoring one run in 
their half of the first. Bill 



Pleasant singled and s t o 1 e 
second. Jim Lanier singled, 
Ed H o b o u g h walked and 
Adrian Jones was hit with a 
pitch to force home Pleasant. 

Two more Clans runs came 
in the second, frame as Jim 
Graham walked, Pleasant 
singled and Hobough scored 
them both with a double. 

Millsaps scored in the third 
when Kenney tripled and 
came home on McDaniel's 
sacrifice fly. 

The Majors picked up two 
niore markers in the fourth 
as Croswell was hit with a 
pitch and scored when Wheel- 
er doubled. Greene next sin- 
gled driving in Wheeler. 

After the action packed 
Millsaps eight, Belhaven ral- 
lied for three runs in their 
half of the frame. After two 
were out, Rudy Polk singled, 
Pleasant singled, and Lanier 
walked, driving in Polk, Ho- 
bough doubled to score Pleas- 
ant and Lanier. 

Belhaven threatened again 
in the ninth when Buddy 
Sauls singled but was thrown 
out at third by Greene with 
Wheeler applying the tag 



when D w i g h t Middleton 
singled to left. 

Wheeler Wins 
Wheeler went the distance 
on the mound for the win and 
he now has won two and lost 
one. 

Kenney paced the Majors 
at the plate by getting 3 hits 
in 4 attempts and scoring two 
runs. Danny Neely had 2 for 
5. McDaniel got 3 runs batted 
in. 

For BelhaVen . Hobaugh 
went 3 for 4 and Pleasant had 
3 for 5.

Would you believe a flying 
saucer? The recent sightings 
of Unidentified Flying Ob- 
jects prompted an article in 
The Red and Black of the Uni- 
versity of Georgia. The vast 
majority of the flying saucer 
sightings, including those seen 
on radar, can be explained by 
the Air Force and investiga- 
tors, according to Dr. Ernest 
Reuning, associate professor 
of physics and astronomy at 
the University of Georgia.* 
Some of the UFO's are weath- 
er balloons or aircraft' or 
stars. He pointed out that an- 
other explanation could be 
that other countries experi- 
ment with odd aircraft. 
Hover-type aircraft are some- 
times made with a saucer de- 
sign. The university professor 
said that he personally won- 
dered why the UFO's, if they 
are extra-terrestrial in origin, 
do not make contact with us. 
Dr. Reuning does not count 
out the possibility of the ex- 
istence of flying saucers and 
said that if anyone thinks he 
sees one he should "grab a 
camera and take pictures and 
get witnesses."

University in Clemson, South 
Carolina, a sophomore Me- 
chanical Engineering major 
wrote his answer in the form 
of a poem, which -was good 
enough to earn him an "A". 
The professor mused that if 
an engineering major writes 
poetry, what could a mechani-

design? 

Pass-Fail 
The New Mexico Lobo of 

the University of New Mexico 
explained some experiments 
in higher education. Nearly 
three - quarters of Princeton 
University's undergraduates 
have elected to use the 
school's new pass-fail option — 
a system under which they 
take one course for which 
they are not graded but re- 
ceive a "pass" or "fail". The 
California Institute of Tech- 
nology faculty voted last fall 
to drop grades in freshman 
courses to make the transi- 
tion between high school and 
college smoother. Freshman 
level courses are now evalu- 
ated on a pass-fail basis. A 
similar pass-fail system for 
first and second year students 
is being designed at Washing- 
ton University in St. Louis. At 
Goddard College in Vermont, 
no specific courses are re- 
quired, class attendance is 
not checked, and no grades 
are given. School officials 
say. their plan allows every 
student to work at his own 
speed without worrying about 
keeping up with the rest of 
the class. A similar experi- 
ment is being tried at San 
Jose State College in Cali- 
fornia, where the student can 
study without required 
courses, tests, or grades. How 
does that sound?

SEB President-Elect, Duck, Becomes U. S. Citizen 



By POLLY DEMENT 

A man with a country. . . 

An alien since he was six 
years old, S.E.B. President- 
Elect Jerry Duck was sworn 
in Saturday morning as a citi- 
zen of the United States of 
America. 

"I feel that I have stepped 
up," comments the former 
Canadian, "because I have no 
doubt that the United States is 
the greatest nation right now 
in the world." 



The road to citizenship was 
for Duck not the smoothest 
one, however. "I was late this 
year registering as an alien," 
he says. 

"I was going to take the Se- 
lective Service Qualification 
Test, and didn't mail my ap- 
plication before the 12:00 
deadline. . ." 

"And I was a day late in 
paying my income tax." 

WHEW!

Political Science Forum Here 
To Feature Richard M. Nixon 



Former vice-president Rich- 
ard Nixon will be featured at 
a political science forum to 
be held at Millsaps College 
Friday, May 6. 

Mr. Nixon, who will be in 
Jackson for a Republican 
fund-raising dinner, will speak 
and participate in a question- 
answer session and 3 p.m. in 
the Christian Center audito- 
rium. 

Millsaps officials said the 
forum was planned to benefit 
political science students and 
other members of the College 
community. 

John Quincy Adams, chair- 
man of the Millsaps political 
science department, will be in 
charge of the program. 




RICHARD M. NIXON 



Such political fauxpas being 
enough to make most people 
a bit shakey in the knees as 
they faced the judge, Duck 
just typically commented, 
"Now I've paid my dues, and 
I feel I can become an active 
member of the Great Fratern- 
ity." 

Son of Dr. and Mrs. E. G. 
Duck, Jerry and his family 
are natives of Winsor, On- 
tario. . .from Southern Cana- 
da to Southern U.S.A. In an 
s w e r to quizzical head- 
scratchings about how Dr. 
Duck chose to practice medi- 
cine in Purvis, Mississippi, 
Jerry explains that the choice 
was strictly by accident. 

Taking his internship at 
Prairie Grove, Arkansas, a 
Gulf Coast and New Orleans 
—bound Dr. Duck happened 
to make a stop at Pur- 
vis. Finding the thriving me- 
tropolis with no doctor, the 
Ducks answered the call and 
have settled there rather per- 
manently. With three young 
Ducks left at home — Bruce, 
John Michael, and Bryant- 
how could they do otherwise. 

Although two-thirds of the 
family — Mrs. Duck, Bruce, 
John Michael, and Jerry— are 
citizens now, the Ducks can 
relate numerous escapades 
consequent to their "alien- 
ship." 

Perpetual Migrations 

In one of their perpetual mi- 
grations south, for instance, 



the Ducks found themselves 
South of the Border, in the 
land of hot tamales, beea-uti- 
fui senoritas, blue sky, sun, 
sand, surf, and — ole!!! — 
aliens with no passports. As 
they slipped back through the 
borders, a joking customs of- 



ficial said to Bruce, "Let me 
see your passport, son." 

"I don't know about those 
people," replied the youngest 
Duck, as he disclaimed his 
family, "but I'm an Ameri- 
can. I was born in Prairie

Hear Dick Nixon Here! 




"Richard Nixon on Millsaps campus! 
Great!" This is typical of the response 
of most stunned enthusiastists upon 
learning that the Millsaps Christian Cen- 
ter would be the scene of a political sci- 
ence forum Friday afternoon, featuring 
the ex-vice president of the United 
States. 



Even those to whose political convic- 
tions the Nixon represents a complete 
antithesis are having difficulty suppress- 
ing delight. 

Regardless of political leanings or as- 
pirations everyone realizes that Millsaps 
is very fortunate to have such a distin- 
guished national figure on campus 
(finally?). 

Perhaps he will be able to provide 
some compensation for the many of us 
whose intellectual thrist remained un- 
quenched by the presentations of Roger 
Hull, Owen Cooper, Andrew Lytle, etc. 

We strongly encourage students to at- 
tend the political science forum. It is un- 
fortunate that fraternity house parties 
are set the same weekend of Nixon's 
visit. We urge students, if at all possi- 
ble, to postpone their trip a few hours 
in order to hear our distinguished guest 
and provide an enthusiastic reception. 
Students have also been asked to pre- 
pare in advance stimulating questions 
to pose to the ex-vice president. 

A genuine manifestation of enthusiasm 
towards Nixon's visit will definitely set 
an important precedent when attempting 
to lure other big-name speakers here 
in the future.— M.S. 



LETTERS TO 
THE EDITOR 



"A* democracy is a society in which 
honorable men may honorably disagree" 



Would You Relieve 
'Unequivocal'? 

Dear Editor: 

With your premature en- 
dorsement of William Winter 
for governor, you appear to 
be in a very safe situation. 
By the time the heavy cam- 
paigning starts (along with 
the inevitable campaign 
goofs), you will be safely re- 
tired from your strategic ob- 
servation post. Incidentally, 
you must realize that al- 
though "the Purple and White 
. . . feels compelled to pledge 
its full and unequival (?) 
(Editor's Note: Printer's 
error. Sorry 'bout that.) sup- 
port to William Winter," the 
next editor may devote 



the paper's unequivocal sup- 
port to someone else. 

Your prognostication con- 
concerning the old cry of 
"Neva h" is a mite un- 
realistic; if you had followed 
the current Alabama Demo- 
cratic Party primary, you 
would realize that the signif- 
icant Negro vote has changed 
the traditional issue. Your 
guess also eliminated a host 
of possibilities. Why do you 
overlook our industrious lieu- 
tenant - governor at such an 
early date? You can't possi- 
bly have an idea of what this 
highly successful candidate 
would offer in an administra- 
tion of his own. 

With the way that Gover- 
nor Johnson has turned about 



LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS 




since his election (Who would 
believe today that he "Stood 
Tall" in the Ole Miss fiasco?) 
who can say for certain that 
his former boss, Ross hasn't 
become more progressive al- 
so? If you have been reading 
the off-campus news, you cer- 
tainly realize that his recent 
speeches have demonstrated 
a change of emphasis in the 
race issue. 

What about John Bell? Are 
you going to commit yourself 
before his clapper has sound- 
ed a note? (Sorry about that.) 
Even ole Blowtorch Mason 
might have changed his fuel! 
If Lurleen looses in Alabama 
(God forbid!), who can say 
that Georgie won't pull a Bob- 
by Kennedy by switching 
states and trying his luck in 
Mississippi? With as much 
time as there is until the cam- 
paign starts, we might even 
talk T. E. Childs or J. Quincy 
Adams into running! 

We understand that you sit 
higher (on your stack of old 
P&W's and sniff farther 
down into the grass roots 
(with your news nose) than 
anyone else in these-here 
parts, but REALLY! Don't 
you think you're out on a 
rather unreasonably thin 
limb? 

Sincerely, 

George B. Pickett, Jr.

MATTERS 




MARIE SMITH 



He's great. He's the kind of 
man you would seek to be 
president of your college. But 
you wouldn't really expect to 
find him because you're too 
used to men who say, "But 
I'm only human." One can't 
help wondering if Dr. Benja- 
min Graves isn't all human 
and a lot plus. 

His concern for the college 
doesn't stop with a mere con- 
cern for Millsaps as an insti- 
tution. It reaches out to ev- 
ery single student in a warm 
and personal way. No person 
is unimportant to him. No per- 
son is unimportant to him. 
No person's suggestions or 
criticisms are passed off as 
trivial. Instead, he doesn't 
pause until every suggestion 
is evaluated, investigated, 
and if found desirable, insti- 
tuted. With a man like Benja- 
min Graves for president, 
Millsaps students have a tre- 
mendous opportunity and re- 
sponsibility to take an active 
part in making: the present 
and future of the college. 

This, of course, can be done 
in many ways. Dr. Graves re- 
cently pointed out that stu- 
dents can be a tremendous 
help in the upcoming finan- 
cial drive. Millsaps needs 
more money if the college is 
to continue to elevate its aca- 
demic standards. If the Ford 
Foundation grant comes 
through, then Millsaps will 
have to supply two dollars for 
every one contributed by the 
Foundation. It will be a great 
challenge. 

Teacher-Grading System 

The president is also very 
seriously considering the idea 
of a teacher-grading system. 
He realizes, of course, that it 
is necessary to tread rather 
softly in a matter such as 
this; but while his tread is 
soft, it is also steady. At a 
recent meeting with Sigma 
Lambda and ODK members, 
Pres. Graves asked for opin- 
ions and suggestions on the 
pros and cons and "how to's" 
of a teacher-grading system. 
The group agreed that it 
would be preferable for the 
administration rather than 
students to come up with a 
plan. So the matter was 
placed into the capable hands 
of Dean Laney. He plans to 
talk to members of the facul- 
ty and evaluate their ideas 
and opinions on the proposed 
system. Incidentally, Dr. 
M History" Moore is in favor 
of the system. He says he 
has used it before and at- 
tributes to it the fact that he 
is now "a perfect teacher". 
Honors System 
Committee 

Along these same lines 
there is another person on 
campus I would like to com- 
mend. Would you believe 
Freddy Davis? No one except 
a committee members could 
possibly know how hard Fred- 
dy and his honors system 
committee worked investigat- 
ing existing systems and 
piecing together one to pro- 
pose for Millsaps. The pros 



and cons of an honor system 
per se are irrelevant at this 
moment but I do think Fred- 
dy and his committee — Polly 
Dement, Mel Maxwell, Susan 
Finch, Ron Goodbread, and 
John Williams — deserve com- 
mendation for a great job. 
They are the kind of leaders 
that sorta awe you at times. 
Master Legs, 1966 



Congratulations to Bill Dru- 
ry on being named, "Master 
Legs, 1966" at the P&W Mas- 
ter Legs Review April 27. 
You were great, Bill! Those 
who didn't get to see Bill Dru- 
ry (would you believe he even 
entered!) walking around the 
Millsaps cafeteria, gazing in- 
tently at the floor, holding his 
"Master Legs, 1966" plaque 
and his bottle of Nair with a 
long purple ribbon while Mark 
Matheny sang "There He 
Goes — Mr. Master Legs", 
really missed a treat. The 
four runner-ups were Ward 
Van Skiver, Ted Weller, Pren- 
tiss Bellue, and Jerry Husky. 
The entertainment was good, 
too. 

Thanks to Polly Dement for 
drawing the cute little notices 
to put in boxes and to Cindy 
Lee for helping with posters 
and publicity. Incidentally, 
the Master Legs Review was 
an experiment. If we were 
able to get that much re- 
sponse to something trivial, 
there's no limit to the enthu- 
siasm we might can engender 
for an International Gift Ba- 
zaar as part of the WUS drive 
next year. More about that 
later. 

Oh, by the way, I must 
mention Mrs. Russell, the 
cafeteria manager. Millsaps 
is indeed fortunate to have 
someone so conscientious and 
genuinely intereseed in stu- 
dents. Considering the omniv- 
orous nature of many Mill- 
saps students, she must have 
held her breath as she pre- 
pared the seafood for the 
smorgasbord. Mrs. Russell 
was so thrilled with the stu- 
dents' response that night 
that, when asked if the cafe- 
teria went in a hole again 
this time, she beamed and 
replied, "I'm not worried 
about it!" (P.S.: For those 
who are concerned about the 
"Millsaps Image", no we're 
not going to sponsor a "Mas- 
ter Wings Review." 

Fine Arts Festival 

The Mississippi Fine Arts 
Festival was, from all re- 
ports, fabulous, to say the 
least. One enthusiastic SEB 
treasurer remarked, "There 
was so much variety! If you 
went all three nights you had 
to have enjoyed something- 
even if you're a blackboard! 
About 30 or 40 Millsaps girls 
had a tremendous time serv- 
ing in the coffee house Thurs- 
day and Friday nights.

Independents See 
First Defeat 

By DAVID PAVENS 

The league - leading Inde- 
pendents dropped a close 
game to the hard - charging 
Lambda Chi's in the big game 
played on Thursday. The win- 
ners were led by Ronnie Wha- 
ley who gave up only 6 runs 
in pitching the whole game 
and knocked in 4 runs on 2 
hits. The Independents loss 
was their first. The losing 
pitcher was Sammy Kernell 
who gave up 7 runs in 5 inn- 
ings of play. 

In other action this week, 
the Lambda Chi's downed the 
M-Club by a score of 13-10. 
The Lambda Chi's were led 
by the steady pitching of 
John R o h r e r and sparky 
hitting by all. Fancy hitting 
by Jerry Husky marked the 
M-Club ball-playing. 

In next week's play we find 
two games on top which 
match league - leaders. On 
Monday the KA's and the 
Pikes play, and on Wednes- 
day the KA's and the Inde- 
pendents will duel. The KA's 
will be after revenge due to 
the opening game, a 10-9 
squeaker. Other games will 
be the M-Club versus Pikes 
on Tuesday and Lambda Chi's 
versus Kappa Sigs on Thurs- 
day.

Huntingdon (Ala.) College 
staged a seven-run uprising 
in the top of the ninth inning 
to take an 11-6 win over the 
Millsaps Majors here Friday. 

Going into the last frame 
Millsaps held a 5-4 lead, but 
the Hawks combined six hits 
with two walks and a sacri- 
fice fly to score seven runs.

Huntingdon took a two-run

base on an error and moved 
to second as Russel Atchley 
was allowed first base on an 
interference call. Hap Wheel- 
er singled in Van Every and 
Doug Green's double knocked 
in Atchley and Wheeler. 

Another home run by Eskw 
gave the Hawks two more run 
in the sixth. His blast came 
after Simpson reached base 
on an error. 

In the eighth Millsaps ral- 
lied for two runs to take a 
brief lead. Jimmy Kenney 
and Pat Amos walked and i 
scored on a single by Van Ev- 
ery and a wild throw. 

Another Run 

The Majors got another run 
in the ninth as Wheeler came 
home on a single by Massey. 

Eskw of Huntingdon and 
Wheeler of Millsaps both went 
3-5 for the day to lead in the 
hitting category. 



Millsaps' Majors finished 
their best track season in 
many years this past week- 
end. The Majors broke nine 
school records while appear- 
ing in only five meets. 
Records 

Junior Troy Lee Jenkins 
led the Majors with a total 
of 30 points. He also broke 
three records. Troy Lee now 
holds the Millsaps record for 
the 120 yard high hurdles at 
15.5; the 220 yard lows at 
24.2; and the 330 yard inter- 
mediates at 39.6. 

Junior Jerry Huskey was 
the second high scorer with 
28 points. He tied the 100 yard 
dash record of 9.9 and set a 
new record in the 220 yard 
dash of 22.2. 

Records 

Bruce Sumrall was third in 
total scoring with 20 points. 
Bruce collected all of his 
points in the mile and two 
mile runs. He is the new 
record holder in the two mile 
with a time of 10:30. 

Sophomore Tommy Davis 
set the Millsaps record of 6' 
in the high jump. He scored 
15 points in four meets in this 
one event. 

More Records 

Freshman Bole Smith com- 
piled 11 points in the half 
mile. He also set a new 
school record of 2:05. 

Sophomore Jimmy Waide 
set a new Millsaps record in 



the 440 yard dash with a time 
of 52.0. 

Junior Bill Trent and Fresh- 
man Stanley Graham served 
as the weight men on this 
year's team. Johnny Nickolic, 
Ted Weller, and Millsaps Dye 
were members of the various 
relay teams. Bob Mayo com- 
peted as a hurdler. 

This year's team was great- 
ly improved over last year's. 
Jenkins and Huskey combined 
scored more points than last 
year's whole team. With al- 
most all of these men back 
next year should prove even 
better for the Millsaps Track 
Team.

It's Been A Vintage Year At The Saps 



EDITOR'S NOTE: This col- 
iimn was written several 
weeks ago, but was not print- 
ed then due to lack of space. 
If some of the 
herein are now er 
outdated, please blame it on 
the P&W, not Mr. Carroll. 
By JIM CARROLL 

As this excellent school 
year of 1965-66 draws to a 
close, it is interesting to note 
the myriad changes which 
have taken place here on the 



Millsaps Campus. There has 
been literally scores of changes 
in various individuals and 
groups, in their attitudes, ac- 
tions, and accomplishments. 
P&W Improved 
Probably the greatest im- 
provement which has taken 
place has been in the Purple 
and White. For the first time, 
the P&W has had something 
controversial to say, and 
there has been more student 
participation in letters to the 



editor, griping about Ron 
Goodbread's column, etc. The 
content of the paper has been 
at least passable, and if you 
read the paper regularly 
enough, you probably learned 
three or four new cuss words 
to boot. The last few issues 
have been particularly out- 
standing. Several weeks ago, 
faithful P&W readers found 
out how great George Mor- 
rison is. And two weeks ago 
three or four science majors 



Take your good time 
going home. 




Fly half -fare on 
Eastern via Florida. 



Florida swings in the spring — but it really swings in the summer. 

Lower off-season room rates are in effect. And Eastern will take you to 
Daytona or Ft. Laucferdale or even Miami for half-fare. 

So take a detour and enjoy it on your way home. Or go home first and down 
to Florida later. 

Just use your Eastern Youth ID card, or similar card from another airline. If 
you don't have such a card, it's a snap to get one — provided you're under 22 
and can prove it. For the specifics, stop by a Travel Agent or any Eastern ticket 
office. 

Once you have your card, you can get an Eastern Jet Coach seat for half- 
fare. You can't make an advance reservation. But if there's a seat available at 
departure time, you can fly to any Eastern destination within the continental 
U.S. Including Florida.

NUMBER ONE TO THE FUN 



brought the traditional dis- 
pute over whether science 
majors or those in the humani- 
ties are the greatest one step 
closer to open warfare. What 
greater contribution to the 
progress and maturity of the 
Millsaps student body could 
we ask for? 

Great Year For KA's 

The KA's had a great year, 
too. After twelve months of 
indecision Kelsey Van Every 
picked up his long - awaited 
bid. The chapter pledged its 
first left-winger since last 
year, but were able to balance 
the scales back by kicking 
out Freddie Davis and 
Mike Gemmel. There have 
been some drastic changes in 
KA attitudes, too. Only last 
week this writer heard a KA 
cut down the KD's. That is 
about like Ross Barnett criti- 
cizing the White Citizens' 
Council. 

The Chi Omegas capped off 
a magnificent year by recap- 
turing the top beauty award 
as well as electing Jean Nich- 
olson to the presidency. They 
didn't do too well in campus 
elections, but proved their 
political prowess by working 
out a nice deal with the KAs 
on the Owl Man - KA Rose 
thing. 

Only Two Killed 

Over at the Kappa Sigma 
House Hugo Newcombe 
moved into the big time by 
becoming Jackson's best 
known entertainment promo- 
tion man. Dean Christmas' 
edict concerning hazing hurt 
the Sigs, though, they only 
killed two pledges during init- 
iation. 

The Lambda Chi's broke a 
revered tradition when Rick 
Fortenberry got dropped to 
somebody besides a Phi Mu. 
(They also got the largest sec- 
ond semester pledge class on 
campus). 

The Kappa Deltas didn't 
have a bad year, either. Polly 
Dement was re-elected for the 
third straight time, and the 
KDs won the Chi Omega Song- 
fest. The organization had its 
bad moments, though. Ann 
Stevenson really got in trou- 
ble last week when word got 
back to State that she had 



been seen talking to another 
boy. Even worse, Charles 
Varner tells us that during 
last week's rainstorm, two 
KD freshmen nearly drowned 
while walking to class. 
Phi Mu's Smooth 

Aside from their troubles 
with the Symposium editor, 
the Phi Mu's have had things 
pretty smooth this year. Jean 
Burnett copped the Miss Mill- 
saps title, and Brenda Davis 
was selected Lambda Chi 
Crescent Queen. The Phi Mu's 
were also able to perfect their 
distribution methods of lists 
on who to vote for in cam- 
pus elections, and did quite 
well in that area as a result. 

Yes, it has been a great 
year here at the 'Saps, and 
next year promises to be an 
even better one. But there is 
one thing that really bothers 
us about next year. If all the 
sororities are able to get as 
good as the Phi Mu's and XO's 
in distributing "who to vote 
for" lists, think what it might 
do to the beauty review!

myself speechless when I at-

more meaningfully say this:

is indicative of the taste of

New SEB Officers Urge 
Active Participation 



NEW SEB OFFICERS— New officers of the Student Executive 
Board, chosen recently in a campus-wise election are, from 
left, PoUy Dement, treasurer; Mark Matheny, vice president; 
Jerry Duck, president; and Leslie Jean Floyd, secretary. The 
new officers assume their duties as student body leaders in 
September. 



By BEVERLY BROOKS 

Jerry Duck, the new presi- 
dent of the Student Executive 
Board urges the participation 
of the entire student body in 
senate and student govern- 
ment affairs. Jerry, a senior 
from Purvis, ran unopposed 
in the recent election. 

He hopes that the coming 
year will see the Student As- 
sociation as a more active 
organization and will produce 
a solution to the parking prob- 
lem. Jerry was SEB vice 
president for the past two se- 
mesters. 

SEB vice president, Mark 
Matheny, a junior from Terre 
Haute, Ind., also ran unop- 
posed in the election. His 
main duty as Vice President 
is chairman of the elections 
committee. Mark has already 
begun this study with his effi- 
cient handling of the class offi- 
cer elections. 

Through the chairmanship 
of various committees and ac- 
tive participation by Millsaps 
in MIC, Mark hopes to im- 
prove the image of Millsaps 
College as well as to promote 
the exchange of ideas with 



other colleges. 

Student Executive Board 
treasurer, Polly Dement en- 
courages 100 per cent involve- 
ment of the students in the 
biggest financial drive in the 
history of the college. Begin- 
ning her second year as treas- 
urer, Polly announces that 
this year's final budget is in 
the black. 

Leslie Jean Floyd, a junior 
from Indianola, is the new 
SEB secretary. Leslie Jean's 
main duty is to keepminutes 
of the senate meetings. In ad- 
dition, she will try to keep 



the students informed as to 
the happenings in the senate 
meetings by printing the min- 
utes for each senator before 
the meetings of the various 
social organizations each 
week. 

Installation of the SEB offi- 
cers for the coming year was 
held at a recent picnic for the 
senate members at Riverside 
Park. 

The SEB officers encourage 
all students to visit the senate 
meetings and to take an 
active interest in student gov- 
ernment.

Alumni Day Symposium Probes Vod-Is-Dead' Controversy 



By MARIE SMITH 

What do they mean, "God 
is Dead?" 

Views on the answer to this 
question, alluding to the cur- 
rent assertions by Dr. Thom- 
as J. J. Altizer of Emory Uni- 
versity and, other so - called 
God is Dead "theologians" 
were expressed in a sympo- 
sium at Millsaps Saturday. 
Speaking before an overflow 
audience of Millsaps alumni 
and students in the Library 
Forum Room, three scholars 



presented ten - minute pre- 
pared statements attempting 
to probe the basic problem. 

The three participants were 
Dr. Roy Clark, pastor of St. 
John's Methodist Church in 
Memphis, Tenn.; Dr. L. 
Hughes Cox, associate profes- 
sor of philosophy at Millsaps 
College; and Dr. T. W. Lewis, 
III, assistant professor of re- 
ligion at Millsaps. Dr. Rob- 
ert E. Bergmark, chairman of 
the Millsaps department of 
philosophy, acted as modera- 



tor. 

Clark — Not Alarming 

Dr. Clark sees the pro- 
nouncements of the so-called 
•Death of God" theologians 
as no cause for alarm. He 
says that in fact the "move- 
ment" has had both its good 
and bad results — good in that 
it has forced all of us to be- 
come theologians. 

He said the death of God 
issue is not new, but attrib- 
utes to our current age of 
mass media the fact that is-

which were formerly 
confined to theologians and 
scholars have now become 
part of the mass domain. 
"People who live in the Twen- 
tieth Century no longer can 
enjoy the sanctuary of being 
just simple, Bible - believing 
Christians; we must begin to 
love God with our minds as 
well as our emotions." 

Clark shared the philosophy 
expressed in Martin Luther's 
statement, "My enemies have 
been my best teachers." 



. n. 



Defensive Attitude 

Commenting on the defen- 
sive attitude which many peo- 
ple have taken toward the 
problem, Clark said, "It is in- 
teresting that persons feel 
God must be defended. When 
you defend Christianity, this 
indicates the poor quality of 
your own God awareness." 

Clark said the real problem 
is the failure of modern man 
to relate church experiences 
to actual decision-making in

Millsaps Madrigals 

Is Oblivion Their Fate 



4 The Millsaps Madrigals are a care- 
fully trained and richly textured group 
which performs an exacting and highly 
sophisticated repertoire, indicative of 
the college's reputation for high stand- 
ards of scholarship. Few college choirs 
in the United States can boast higher 
musical standards." 

This is part of the review which the 
Millsaps Madrigals received of their per- 
formance in concert at the First Meth- 
odist Church, Lafayette, La. this spring. 

They'll never hear words of praise 
like that again. They'll never hear any 
kind of praise again. They won't sing 
again either. The Millsaps Madrigals no 
longer exist. They were dissolved sev- 
eral weeks ago. 

It isn't our aim here to attempt any 
kind of appraisal on the decision to dis- 
band the 20-voice group. Nor are we con- 
cerned with the reasons for such a move 
on the part of the music department. 

But we are concerned. 

No one can deny that the music de- 



partment is one of Millsaps' strongest 
points. All of the choirs have proved to 
be great assets in representing and pub- 
licizing the school. They have received 
wide acclaim. The dissolution of one of 
the groups is going to narrow the breadth 
of public contact considerably. 

In addition, the absence of the Mill- 
saps Madrigals is going to leave a defi- 
nite gap in the music department. Some 
might argue that their disappearance 
will improve the quality of the other 
choirs, but we doubt it, Some students 
simply prefer singing in a smaller group 
and would father not sing at all than 
be forced to do so in a large one. 

Not having full awareness of all the 
factors involved, we offer no alternatives 
to the problem, only concern — and hope 
that something can be done. 

When a group has worked for nine 
years to establish a reputation and type 
of quality which the Lafayette review 
attributed to the Millsaps Madrigals, "it 
seems a shame to let it simply fade into 
oblivion with a snap of the fingers — M.S. 



LETTERS AND CARTOONS TO THE EDITOR 

Vietnam Exams 

Fellow Students: 
Our government has decided 
it needs more soldiers for this 
"small" war in Vietnam; Con- 
gress has authorized the send- 
ing of an additional 400,000 
men. It has decided it can no 
longer defer all students, and 
has begun to draft them off 
the campus. To accomplish 
this , all of us are invited to 
take part in a Beat-the-Draft 
exam on May 14, May 21, and 
June 3, and the millions of 
us who take the exam will 
do so for one and only one 
reason: to stay out of the 
Vietnam war. 

We want to ask some ques- 
tions of our own and we will 
be passing out our own ex- 
ams. Wherever the Selective 
Service System sets up its 
examination centers. We'll be 
there with our own exams. 
Ours will ask you questions 
about the war— fair and ob- 
jective questions — and how 
you see your relation to it. 
You will have to "grade" our 
exam, yourself — and decide 
whether you know enough 
about the Vietnamese to take 
some day the personal re- 
sponsibility for their death. 

THESE ARE THE REAL 
QUESTIONS, the ones that 
all of us have to think about. 
Because if we don't nobody 
will. 

Passing our test won't get 
you a deferment; failing it 
won't put you in Vietnam. 
But maybe thinking through 
some of our questions will 
make you a little shakier, a 
little freer— and a little proud- 
er of your own conscience. 
Vietnam Examination Com- 
mittee, Lee Makamson, co- 
ordinator 

(Cooperating with Students 
for a Democratic Society 
and fellow students for 
peace) 

EDITOR'S NOTE: Maybe we 
could stop flaunting our 
"love" and start applying it 
constructively.

MATTERS 




MARIE SMITH 
Editor 



Millsaps College. What is it 
about the name that makes a 
little tingly feeling well up in- 
side you? The more you get 
involved the more the feeling 
grows and all of a sudden 
you're part of the college and 
the college is part of you and 
you're all a part of each other 
and you're proud as every- 
thing to say, 4 4 I'm from Mill- 
saps!" 

It's really a hundred things 
all lumped together and called 
Millsaps — professors who 
guide but never push*; beau- 
tiful campus; intellectual at- 
mosphere, a little pseudo, but 
a lot of sincerity (oh yes, 
joviality, too); a cafeteria 
manager who prepares the 
best seafood smorgasbord; a 
grill queen who can scream 
"65!" better'n anybody ever; 
new dorms; an athletic direc- 
tor who knows everything. 
Just ask him. (Just kidding, 
coach. You don't really.); an 
administration who's not 
afraid of change; the best 
dramatics director in the 
South (nation maybe?. . . 
would you believe world?); 
and the music department — 
what can you say about the 
choirs to do them justice? 

Take tbe Troubadours — how 
do you express the pride you 
feel, the light, tingly feeling 
you get when you see and 
hear them perform, when 
you realize they are repre- 
senting you and your college, 
not just throughout the United 
States, but the world — year 
before last it was Europe, 
next summer the Caribbean. 
They're great! 

Then There's President 
Graves. What can you say 
that hasn't already been 
said? .Anyway, the student- 
teacher grading system is 
one step closer to reality (just 
an example). Last week he 
and Dean Laney met with the 
heads of all departments to 
try to "invent" a workable 
plan for Millsaps. 

And remember the "poor 
booths whose stuffings were 
lewdly exposed"? Well, they 
have been renovated, thanks 
to Mr. Wood. 

Then there are students like 
Ward Van Skiver. He put a 
lot of work into Greek Week. 
It's really a shame he didn't 
, have more cooperation on the 
publicity end. And it might 
have helped if someone had 
staged an anti-fain demon- 
stration prior to Derby Day 
Friday. But all in all, the 
week was successful. 

Intellectual pursuits are 
certainly our main purpose in 
college, but without a little 
diversity now and then there's 
the danger of getting all clog- 
ged up with knowledge that 
you don't even know how to 
apply. 

Might even forget how . to 
laugh. 

Greek Week Supporters 

Anyway, Ward asked me to 
thank the following people for 
their help in planning and im- 
plementing Greek Week: 

Pete Wood, business mana- 
ger, for providing school fa- 



cilities; Ben Mitchell, dance 
and finance cbYnmittees; 

Virginia Ann Jones and 
Floy Holloman, who were in 
charge of stunt night; Frank 
Wells and the LXA's, who 
planned Field Day and Derby 
Day; Coach Monty, who 
helped with athletic events; 
Webb Buie, in charge of the 
golf tournament; 

Dean Christmas and Jack 
Woodward and their wives, 
chaperones at the Friday 
night dance; Dr. T. W. Lewis 
and Dr. Roy Berry and their 
wives, chaperones at the Sat- 
urday night dance. 

Others who either helped or 
lent moral support were Bob 
Morris, Tommy Tucker, Gen- 
rose Mullen, and Sandy New- 
burn. 

- Jerry Duck was chosen 
Greek God by the Kappa Del- 
tas, who totaled the most 
points for sorority participa- 
tion in Greek Week events; 
Carolyn Tabb was named 
Greek Goddess by the KA's, 
who scored the most points, 
fraternity-wise. 

Now there are three divines 
on campus — don't forget 
the original LLOA's Goddess 
of the Eon, Jean Nicholson. 

Incidentally, part of the 
P&W staff, namely Tommy D. 
and Thave decided that we're 
not ready to tell what Pftbab- 
gbsbsbwthbfvk means. If any 
senior or collegiate nomad 
who plans to claim some oth- 
er institution as his academic 
haven next year is curious 
about it, we suggest you sub- 
scribe to the P&W next se- 
mester—only $1.00 for 12 is- 
sues. 

The same goes for every- 
one else who is currently re- 
ceiving the P&W by mail. All 
subscriptions end with this is- 
sue. Send $1.00 to Purple and 
White, Millsaps College, Jack- 
son, Miss., 39210, in order to 
renew subscriptions. 

Congragulations to the new 
SEB officers. Next year is go- 
ing to be a great year— action 
packed, according to God 
Duck. Can't help feeling a lit- 
tle twang seeing Larry and 
Jeanne leave, though. They 
have done a great job.

"You might put it that way,

Well, it's been a long year. 
But, for myself, it has been 
the richest one ever. Being 
editor of the Purple and White 
this past semester has been a 
tremendous experience — lit- 
erally a dream come true. 
Plans are in the making for 
quite a number of improve- 
ments next year. 

The staff was comparative-

I could thank every one of 
them personally, along with 
everyone else who has given

Campus Gardener- 
Spry n Magic A 1 86 



By MARIE SMITH 

A hole is a hole is an eye- 
sore is a problem. 

That is, until it is placed 
into the hands of Fred Hau- 
berg, the campus gardener. 
Ever notice how pretty and 
green and trim the area be- 
tween the science building and 
Student Union is? Well, that's 
just one of the miracles Mr. 
Hauberg has performed; the 
area was just an ugly old 
hole when Pete Wood, the 
business manager, turned it 
over to him with instructions 
to "do what you can!'.' 

In the past four years this 
sprightly, magnetic gentle- 
man has literally transformed 
the entire Millsaps campus, 
from West Street to State 
Street. The results of his 
handiwork really became evi- 
dent when spring suddenly 
decided to burst forth recent- 
ly. 

86 Years! 
Mr. Hauberg came over 
from the "old country," Cop- 
enhagen, Denmark 60 years 
ago, which makes him . . . 
now here's the shocking part 
... 86 years young! Spry as 
the proverbial spring chicken, 
lively as a teenager and sharp 
as a tack— that's Fred Hau- 
berg. 

In his delightful Danish ac- 
cent, he explained that he was 
a horticulturist from way 
back, since 1895, in fact. He 
studied horticulture at Copen- 
hagen for four years and was 
an apprentice for four years 
before he became "an ex- 
pert." 

No Newcomer 
Mr. Hauberg has worked 
on the Millsaps campus three 
days a week for the past four 
years, but he's definitely no 
newcomer. In fact, he did the 



initial landscaping around 
Whitworth and Sanders dorm, 
the library and several other 
buildings about 20 years ago, 
as an employee of a Jackson 
florist, where he worked for 
20 years before retiring. 

His home on Adelle Avenue 
boasts signs of his talent, with 
a porch full of healthy potted 
plants and a multi-colored and 
multi-flowered back yard, 
l oves Gems, Minerals 

But plants are by no means 
his only love. A tremendous 
gem and mineral collection 
is obviously his pride and joy. 
There's everything from an 
axe-head from the Stone-Age 
to "thunder eggs" from the 
Ice Age to lava from the 
mountains in New Mexico to 
pieces of shale flintstone from 
Texas. 

One of the latter he named 
his "Texas rose" and that's 
just what it looked like; an- 
other was formed like a little 
primrose. Picking up another 
pieces of flintstone, he said, 
"Now to look at the back of 
this, you'd think it was just a 
little brown stone. But turn it 
over and the pattern on the 
stone looks like vines and 
flowers." Mr. Hauberg's min- 
eral collection also includes a 
bird's nest, a funny looking 
burr, and a cocoanut for good 
measure. 

Besides being an expert 
gardener and a fascinating 
person, Mr. Hauberg is a 
Galloway Memorial Method- 
ist and a great-great grand- 
father, with emphasis on the 
great. 

(Oh, by the way, if anyone 
should happen to run across 
any interesting rocks, stones, 
gems, or cocoanuts, how 
about helping Mr. Hauberg 
expand his collection.)

real life. "Altizer's theoretical 
atheism is less dangerous 
than the practical atheism 
which is so rampant," he 
said. "The real vital issue is 
'How alive is God to you?' M 
Cox— Contradiction 

Dr. Cox, speaking second, 
said he felt it was a contra- 
diction to call the Death of 
God movement a "new theol- 
ogy." He preferred to call it 
a kind of anthropology, or 
atheistic humanism, which is 
by no means new. 

Cox compared Altizer's con- 
tradictory insistence that we 
must find the sacred in the 
radically profane to a "round 
square." "How can we dis- 
cover the sacred in the rad- 
ically profane if we do not 
acknowledge existence of the 
divine?" 

He said we must, however, 
be able to discover the dimen- 
sion of the divine transcend- 



ing the secular, instead of see- 
ing the sacred as "something 
to be hoarded up in churches" 
without relating it to life. 
Lewis — Differentiation 

The third speaker, Dr. T. 
W. Lewis, said that Altizer 
made a differentiation be- 
tween the God of Christendom 
and the biblical God. Equat- 
ing the former with what Al- 
tizer says is now dead, Lewis 
explained that what he means 
in saying God is dead is that 
the values and institutions 
that have for so long under- 
girded the culture of the 
Western civilization are pass- 
ing away. "In the death of 
the God of Christendom," he 
said, "faith in the biblical 
God will appear again." 

He said the God of Jesus, 
who freed man from the 
world, calls man to live in the 
world with self - sacrificial 
love. 

The Death of God sym- 
posium was one phase of Mill- 
saps Alumni Day activities.

Tribute To A Great President 

'Some Men Build Cities' — Graves Does 



By JOHNNY NIKOLIC 

Just slightly over one year 
ago it was announced that 
Benjamin Graves of the Uni- 
versity of Mississippi had ac- 
cepted the position as the new 
president of Millsaps College. 
Some people, as I did, im- 
mediately began to speculate 
as to what this man Graves 
would do in lieu of the prob- 
lems facing our school: the 
Civil Rights Bill, an upgrad- 
ing or discontinuation of ath- 
letics, work for an increase in 
salaries, endowment funds, 
alumni support and interest, 
and the general backing of 
policies by students and facul- 
ty. Well, of these major as- 
pects, not one has gone lack- 
ing by our new President. 
The Civil Rights Bill undoubt- 
edly received what was the 
most consideration ever given 
a piece of national legislation 
regarding schools; but 
through the leadership of Dr. 
Graves we found a way to ac- 
cept legislation as a basic 
law of our country, and hence 
prepared our course to meet 
its requirements. History 
books will note that Millsaps 
College, led by newly elected 
President Benjamin Graves, 
first broke the barriers of 
state anarchy and aligned it- 
self with the rest of the na- 
tion. However, not all was 
easy and certainly there were 
times when Pres. Graves felt 
"like a frog on a freeway 
with his hopper bursted." But 
now that it is all over, it can 
be said that he was: 
"That tower of strength 
Which stood four square to all 
Winds that blew.— Tennyson 

Now that Dr. Graves has 
had a year at his task, one 
tends to turn back and evalu- 
ate exactly what has been ac- 
complished. Fundamentally 
we have achieved growth in 
quality, quantity (both togeth- 
er are rare indeed), solvence 
and reputation. 

In view of the fact that so 
many people have been direct 
recipients of Dr. Graves' poli- 
cies, let us see what some 
of them — teachers, adminis- 
trators, coaches, and students 
have to say about him. 
Some of their comments are 
as follows: 

Dean Laney: 

Dean Laney, one our admin- 




lor-atutom

HOSTOf DRIVE INNS 

MM ILUS AVIMUI 



istrative chiefs, identifies 
three specific characteristics 
of our president as follows: 

"First of all, the President 
is a man of unusual admin- 
istrative ability. He obvious- 
ly knows how to analyze a 
situation and to reduce a 
problem to its essential ele- 
ments before attempting 
changes and improvements." 

"Second, is his insistence 
upon facing the essential facts 
in any situation with complete 
honesty and candor. To use a 
well-worn phrase, he appar- 
ently likes to "place it on the 
line/ M 

"Third, is his tremendous 
enthusiasm for the job which 
he has undertaken. He reads 
widely and I have been con- 
tinually amazed, not to say 
hard pressed, by the volume 
of material which he passes 
on for my consideration, 
much of it marked with sug- 
gestions and questions, and 
all of it directed toward im- 
proving Millsaps College in 
every aspect of its opera- 
tions " 

Dean Christmas: 

Dean Christmas, the Direc- 
tor of Student Personnel and 
one who himself is a golden 
gift to the students, states his 
fondest opinion of Dr. Graves 
by saying that 'his assets are 
basically two fold. First, is 
his positive thinking. He sees 
Millsaps as a great institu- 
tion with an excellent future 
and hopes to enable it to 
achieve this excellence. Sec- 
ondly, is his desire and abili- 
ty to communicate with the 
students which is something 
every great man can not do. 
Orvel Hooker: 

Mr. Orvel Hooker, an inces- 
sant worker for upgrading our 
speech department, says of 
Dr. Graves appearance: "Dr. 
Graves projects a healthy im- 
age. It is not easy to be a 
college president; it is even 
more difficult to be a good 
college president. Dr. Graves 
looks his part. He projects a 
good, healthy "presidential 
image, " and this is not the 
least of his many assets/' 
Coach Montgomery: 

Coach James Montgomery, 
Athletic Director, feels we 
have acquired a rare man for 
a rare period of numerous 
problems and decisions when 
he says: "The coming of 
President Benjamin Barnes 
Graves has coincided with 
several of the most momen- 
tous steps ever taken at Mill- 
saps College — a new admis-

sions policy and a decision 
to expand the size of the col- 
lege, among other things. A 
new leader with no alle- 
giances owed to past friend- 
ships has been able to negoti- 
ate the potentially dangerous 
ground already covered in 
just over a year of his ten- 
ure. My guess is that con- 
tinued progress of this type 
will be forthcoming under the 
leadership of President 
Graves." 

Sam Nicholas: 
Mr. Sam Nicholas, Assist- 
ant Professor of Economics, 
perhaps recaptures the 
thoughts of many of us when 
he relates his thoughts at the 
time of President Graves' se- 
lection and his opinions to- 
day, more than a year later, 
in the following manner: 
"Perhaps one word can best 
describe the administration of 
Benjamin B. Graves: Realis- 
tic. When the college's Board 
of Trustees announced to the 
faculty that Dr. Graves had 
been named Millsaps' new 
president, several questions 
ran through my mind, e.g. Is 
such a man "right" for Mill- 
saps?; Will this person pro- 
vide the leadership-so great- 
ly needed? What will be his 
attitude toward liberal arts 
education?; Can such a man 
fully display his talents with- 
in the given resources at Mill- 
saps?; Is a layman the per- 
son for the job?; Will the 
Methodist Church give him 
its full support?; Is this per- 
son concerned with Millsaps 
as a quality institution — serv- 
ing the nation as well as the 
Church and Mississippi?; 
How will Dr. Graves view eco- 
nomics and business adminis- 
tration at Millsaps? Such 
thoughts as these were mine 
on December 19, 1964. Today, 
more than a year later, I can 
truthfully say that my "skep- 
ticism" has been erased. 
Why? Very simple — a great 
sense of realism and cour- 
age! Certainly these values 
can be witnessed in his de- 
cision making."

Alpha Psi Omega 
Presents Awards 

Alpha Psi Omega, dra- 
matics honorary, presented 
awards to the following peo- 
ple at the annual banquet 
Tuesday night: 

Acting award for women — 
Pat Galloway for Allison in 
Look Back in Anger; acting 
award for men— Walter Slau- 
ghter for Luther in Luther; 

Women's junior acting 
award — Marilyn Maxwell for 
Hedy in How To Succeed In 
Business Without Really Try- 
ing; men's junior acting 
award— Barry McGehee for 
Tetzlin in Luther; 

Little Theatre award— Dan 
Weems; outstanding fresh- 
man of the year — Kathryn 
Grabau; backstage award for 
other than scenery — Judy 
Powell. 

Pat Galloway also won the 
Alpha Psi Award, which goes 
to the graduating senior who 
has contributed the most to 
the Millsaps Players. 



Ricky Fortenberry, vice 
president of the Lambda 
Chi's and newly elected IFC 
President, sees inevita- 
ble growth under Dr. Graves 
for Millsaps when he says: 
"President Graves has 
brought to Millsaps a profic- 
ient and applicable knowledge 
of administration and "col- 
lege management" which this 
institution seemed to lack in 
the persons of former presi- 
dents. As positive results are 
observable in a period of only 
one year, I can only feel that 
with President Graves' lead- 
ership Millsaps has been 
launched upon a program of 
expansion which will raise the 
college to a position far sur- 
passing its present status 
among the institutions of high- 
er learning in our nation." 
Ricky's reasoning is certainly 
most plausible considering the 
success already attained after 
one year of service. 

Susan Duquette 

Susan Duquette, a member 
of Kappa Delta sorority, 
and a Beauty says: "The 
most outstanding quality 
about President Graves is his 
enthusiasm. He is genuinely 
excited about the school's po- 
tential and is leading Millsaps 
by every method possible to 
a goal already firmly fixed in 
^iis own mind. In four years 
we will be well on our way to 
becoming an "ivy league col- 
lege in a Christian setting." 

Ward Van Skiver, a mem- 
ber of Kappa Alpha order, 
and a friend to all, had this 
statement to make: "In Pres- 
ident Graves, Millsaps has 
found a new spirit and unity. 
Realizing our needs here at 
Millsaps is one thing; accom- 
plishing those things to fulfill 
our needs in another. I feel 
that President Graves is the 
best man we could have chos- 
en to successfully complete 
this job." 

Larry Adams: 

Larry Adams, president of 
the SEB, says: "Dr. Graves 
is providing the kind of prog- 
ressive leadership that Missis- 
sippi higher education in gen- 
eral-and Millsaps College in 
particular — has long been 
needing. And this is recog- 
nized by many people, not just 
those of us here at Millsaps. 
Within the past month, peo- 
ple in North, South, and Cen- 
tral Mississippi have com- 
mented to me that the finest 
speech given at MEA this 
year was presented by our 
own Dr. Graves." 

Jerry Duck: 

Jerry Duck, President of 
the Lambda Chi's and presi- 
dent elect of SEB, sums up 
all the student's general ap- 
preciableness of President 
Graves by stating "In my 
opinion President Graves has 
broadened the perspective of 
the Millsaps College Commu- 
nity concerning the future. 
The college seems unified 
and moving toward definite, 
progressive goals " 

"Probably more important 
to the student is the new spir- 
it which Dr. Graves has initi- 
ated at Millsaps. A spirit of 
student participation at all 
levels in the campus commu- 
nity. This, of course, brings 
the student into the heart of 



the college, making him feel 
a vital part of Millsaps. 

Certainly many more com- 
ments could be made about 
our Pres., but the purpose 
isn't to exhaust one's vocabu- 
lary on praise for Dr. Graves, 
but to get the general conclu- 
sion of what the college thinks 
of him. A note to remember 
President Graves by is: A few 
men build cities, the rest live 
in them.

cism has been very helpful, 
too. 

I just must mention Faye 
Junkin, who just completely 
took over the job of circula- 
tion manager and since the 
letters of complaint have 
stopped coming in, I judge 
she's done a great job. 

Holly Reuhl and James K. 
Smith were absolutely indis- 
pensable when it came time 
to piece the paper together 
each week — the epitome of 
faithfulness. Only they're still 
not speaking to me after the 
week I forgot to tell them we 
weren't having a paper. After 
all, what's an hour or so? 

Then there's Cindy Lee — 
she's done a little bit of ev- 
erything; her enthusiasm for 
the paper hasn't been the 
least of her contributions, be- 
lieve me. 

Darrell Bush has done a 
terrific job as news editor. 

I think I won't mention 
Tommy Davis and Ernest 
Rucker. They're conceited 
enough already. Oh well. . . 
thanks! 

Oh, there are lots of others, 
but I've already taken up 
more than my share of space 
in this issue. Just one last 
word: Adios, G.B. We'll miss 
your bitching. (Word?) Se- 
riously, those who don't know 
the history of the R.B. — G.B. 
situation can't appreciate Mr. 
Goodbread's help nearly as 
much as some of us can. 

Have a great summer!

A note about the state 
political scene: As long as 
the Purple and White is 
already out on a "rather 
unreasonably thin limb," 
what harm could possibly 
befall us by engaging in 
another bit of political 
prognostication, or perhaps 
wishful thinking?

read occasionally) inform 
us that Eddie Khayat, a 
Millsaps alumnus is going 
to try his luck once again 
in an attempt to unseat 
Representative Colmer in 
the fifth district Congres- 
sional elections. 

While there isn't a whole 
lot the P&W can do in the 
way of support for Khayat, 
we do wish him luck. It's 
about time Mississippi sent 
some new blood to Wash- 
ington. He might would at 
least make it to the ses- 
sions occasionally.

A student who desires to have his Draft Board notified 
of his rank in class at the end of the current school year 
must request that this be done by fHling out a form in the

By POLLY DEMENT 
"Ode to Mrs. G" 

She's the sweetheart of IFC, 

She's secretary of Circle K, 

She sends out lots of 
"Christmas cards"— 

Not just by year, but by 
day. . . 

Music to your ears, too? 
Many verses to this ode lie 
unwritten. (Necessity de- 
mands, however, that the 
non-poet relapse into prose). 

The "dedicatee" of such a 
tribute is a lady whose serv- 
ice and interest penetrates 
deeply into the life of every 
Millsaps student. As sec- 
retary to the Office of Stu- 
dent Personnel, she arranges 
for part - time employment, 
student housing, tutoring 
services, and she administers 
numerous standardized tests. 
Mail To Chapel-Cutters 

She is secretary of Circle 
K, fraternities and sororities, 
she works on our advisory 
program, and keeps mail in 
chapel-cutters' boxes. And not 
only that, she says, "I make 
coffee for the Deans!" 

This guessing game is long 
over, for as the opening verse 
revealed, Mrs. William (Mar- 
tha) Galtney alone could qual- 



ify for this description. 

A native of Nashville, Ten- 
nessee, Mrs. Galtney was 
quick to relinquish her alle- 
giance to the Volunteers and 
to sink roots in Mississippi 
mud. 

Answering the silly ques- 
tion of why she came to this 
state, Mrs. G says, "Why, I 
came to Mississippi just to 
meet Bill." Considering the 
fact that she was nine-years- 
old at the time, one can quick- 
ly surmise that here is a 
woman of unquestioned con- 
viction. 

Little did Mr. Bill Galtney 
know, as he slipped a note 
onto the secretary's desk, that 
his career as a bachelor en- 
gineer had been predeter- 
mined for quite some years 
to begin its ending. 

Type, type, type. . . 

Looking at the memoran- 
dum she had just typed, the 
young secretary read, "Will 
you go to the show with me?" 

"Yes," was the answer, and 
"yes" for the rest of her life. 
A year-long courtship ensued, 
and since then the Galtneys 
have led a life filled with 
just as much spontaneity. 



Activities Galore 

Fishing trips to the Ozarks, 
trips to New Orleans, and es- 
pecially to Florida are fre- 
quently destinations when the 
Galtneys have the fever to get 
up and go. Palm Beach is the 
home of Mrs. Ann Hutcher- 
son, Mr. and Mrs. Galtney's 
daughter, and four grandchil- 
dren. 

Little Theatre, "everything 
at Millsaps," cookouts, fish 
fries, and swimming are fa- 
vorite Galtney pastimes here 
in Jackson. 

And with a giggle, Mrs. G. 
added, "We go to the B- 
dog, watch double features, 
and eat popcorn." 

Talk about go-go girls-^ 
here's a go-go couple! 

Not always on the go, how- 
ever, the Galtneys enjoy lis- 
tening to music at home. 
"From concertos right on 
down to jazz," says Mrs. 
Galtney. 

A fleeting view into such a 
kaleidoscopically oriented life 
throws a little light upon the 
"I wonder" of how Mrs. G 
has for eleven years handled 
her jobs so fantastically well. 
She simply thrives on variety 
and people!

TOMMY DAVIS 



Sports Editor 



This past year has been . one in which sports at 
Millsaps College have become an active part of campus 
activity. For the first time in years Millsaps students 
have begun to show some enthusiasm for athletics. 
The main reason for. jthis change in student attitude 
is the Diamond Anniversary Scholarship Program. 
This program has meant tradition by taking the Mont- 



more to Millsaps College than 
can be measured in terms of 
games won and lost. A new 
attitude has been instilled in 
our students. The question is 
no longer how bad will we get 
heat, but will we win. The 
change in attitude has done 
much to help Millsaps. 

Students need some com- 
mon interest to pull then to- 
gether into a unified body. I 
believe that the Diamond An- 
niversary Scholarship Pro- 
gram is the first step in this 
direction. The s upport. of a 
school team has been our 
common interest. There is 
more enthusiasm and school 
spirit on our campus this year 
than there has been in many 
years. 

Just Gettin' Started 

To an outsider our records 
this year might seem to leave 
an awful lot to be desired, but 
we know that we are just get- 
ting started. Not only are we 
able to compete, but we are 
finally winning. Next year will 
be twice as good as this year 
and the next will be twice as 
good as that. It takes time 
to build an athletic program 
and we are just starting in a 
new way. 

The year should not end 
without some mention of In- 
tramurals. This year has cer- 
tainly been the year of the 
KA's in Men's Intramural 
competition. It's not that I am 
biased, but there have been 
some significant happenings 
in this area. 

The men of Kappa Alpha 
started the year off by win- 
ning the volleyball trophy aft- 
er an undefeated season. The 
KA's and Kappa Sigs had tied 
for this award for the last 
two years. 

Basketball Big 

Intramural basketball was 
one of the biggest sports at- 
tractions on the campus. In 
this area the KA's broke a 
long Kappa Sigma basketball

gomery Invitational Basket- 
ball Tournament. The strong 
KA team then completed an 
undefeated season to take top 
honors in the regular basket- 
ball season. 

Kappa Alpha took first in 
the Lambda Chi Alpha Field 
Day and the first cross- 
country Turkey Day Race. 
The KA's made a clean sweep 
by finishing first in softball 
and golf. I think that the KA's 
must certainly be congratu- 
lated for this outstanding 
showing in intramurals. 

Whether it is varsity or in- 
tramurals, Millsaps students 
have become more sports 
minded. We haven't neglected 
our studies, mind you, but we 
have merely begun to stand 
out in another area. Watch 
for us next year. You will be 
hearing more about Millsaps 
College in the future.

Major Nine 

Southern College of Mem- 
phis, Term., swept a double 
hitter from the Millsaps

Premed Students Advised 
To Plan Alternate Career 



Premedical students were 
encouraged to plan an alter- 
nate career, along with their 
preparation for the medical 
field, at an Alpha Epsilon Del- 
ta convention in April. 

Millsaps delegates to the 
convention, held at Emory 
University in Atlanta, Ga., 
were Lynn Coleman and Ron- 
nie Bentley. 

Delegates were informed 
that far too many students 
aim for medical school, strive 
for that goal alone, and find 
themselves at a loss when 
they are not accepted. 

No Preference 

A question and answer ses- 
sion exposed the following 
facts: state students are not 
given preference over out-of- 
state students except in ex- 
treme cases where two candi- 
dates for the final opening 
have equal qualifications; it 
is advisable to take the Med- 
ical College Admission test in 
May before applying to med- 
ical school; extra-curricular 
activities of prospective med- 
ical students are considered in 
conjunction with undergrad- 
uate grades. 

Take Anything, Everything 

The premed students were 
also jokingly advised by Dr. 



Harry Williams of e m o r y 
University to "take anything 
you want but get a math, 

chemistry and physics ma- 
jor | M He said that within four 
years medical schools would 
probably accept only students 
with math through differential 
calculus, chemistry through 
physical chemistry, and two 
years of physics. 

A ED, founded in 1926, is the 
international honor society 
for premedical students. Six- 
ty - seven of the 83 chapters 
in the U. S. and Canada were 
represented at the convention. 
All six Mississippi chapters 
were represented; Mississippi 
Epsilon (MSCW) chapiter was

is reported to be the first or- 
ganization of its kind to con- 
centrate its efforts entirely on

to 10 cents per word for. this 
material.

does not return manuscripts 
unless first queried with a de-

Dick Nixon Urges 
NewImageForGOP 



Former vice-president Rich- 
ard M. Nixon, speaking be- 
fore a predominantly student 
audience at Millsaps May 6, 
attempted to project a new 
image of the Republican par- 
ty. 

He said the way for the 
party of rid itself of the stig- 
ma of negativism is to identify 
itself as the party of prog- 
ress. On a humorous note he 
added, "This may sound 
strange since we hear Lyndon 
Johnson invented progress." 

Nixon was speaking before 
a political science forum, ar- 
ranged by Professor John 
Quincy Adams, chairman of 
the Millsaps Political Science 
Department. The format of 
the program consisted of a 
brief address by the Speaker, 
followed by a question and an- 
swer period, the questions be- 
ing posed from the audience. 
Need For Two Parties 

The distinguished speaker 
expressed concern over the 
current trend in the United 
States toward a one party sys- 
tem. Nixon said the Republi- 
can party must counter the 
trend toward increasing cen- 
tralization in Washington, 
which is resulting in the 
states becoming more and 
more like mere puppets. 

Equating Republican- 
ism with conservatism, the 
former vice president said 
said conservatives must stop 
living the impressiong that 
they don't want to do any- 
thing about national problems. 
"What Republicans should do 
is point out that we have a 
new road to progress." 
States Rights, Private 
Enterprise 

He stressed that states 
rightism; properly in- 
terpreted, and private enter- 
prise, properly used, and not 
enemies of progress. In op-

position to President John- 
son's opinion that we must 
"give up on people and turn 
to government," Nixon said 
the best answer on the do- 
mestic scene is private enter 
prise. 

Going into specifics, he pro- 
posed a Human Investment 
Act, which would give tax 
credit to private enterprise 
for any program they may 
adopt for training unemployed 
workers and unskilled labor. 
This plan would insure the 
participant a job after train- 
ing. 

Commenting on the current 
antipoverty program, he saic\ 
"In the Job Corps today we 
find it takes thousands of dol- 
lars a year to train men for 
jobs that may or may not 
exist." 

Segregation 

Commenting on the position 
which the Republican Party 
in Mississippi has taken on 
segregation, Nixon said it was 
similar to that of the Demo- 
cratic party, with one differ- 
ence. He said that while all 
the Mississippi Democratic 
party had to offer is the fact 
that it is for segregation, the 
Republican party is cam- 
paigning for issues of the 
future, not of the past. 

He further observed that the 
kind of division resulting from 
the Democratic party's dou- 
ble standard is detrimental to 
a strong, healthy and grow- 
ing economy. 

Private Housing: Section 

In answer to a request that 
he comment on Sen. Dirksen's 
stand on the unconstitutional- 
ity of the private housing sec- 
tion of the Civil Rights Bill, 
Nixon said he thought Dirk- 
sen had taken a very respon- 
sible line. "I am for progress 
in Civil Rights but I don't 
think Civil Rights will be done 
any good by just passing any- 
thing, constitutional or not. 

The former vice president 
ended his presentation by 
emphasizing the need for a 
policy of reconciliation as an 
alternative to either extreme 
of reaction or revolution.
